摘要:
Described herein are systems and methods for the depolymerization of polyethylene-based plastics. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that comprises combining a polyethylene-based plastic with a solvent in a reactor to generate a plastic solvent mixture, heating the plastic solvent mixture in the reactor, and fractionating the plastic solvent mixture into a gas phase product, a solid phase product, and a liquid phase product. In another embodiment, a system is disclosed that comprises a solvent, and a reactor configured to receive the polyethylene-based plastic and the solvent and convert the polyethylene-based plastic into a gas phase product, a solid phase product, and a liquid phase product, the reactor being configured to operate at a temperature greater than 275° C. and at a pressure greater than 2 megapascals.

摘要:
The present invention provides for methods and compositions for gas separation and purification utilizing a metallo-organic polymer adsorbent in processes for separating carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from gas streams. The metallo-organic polymer adsorbent composition has the formula: [R(L)n]mMn, wherein R represents an organic spacer selected from the group consisting of an organic cyclic or acyclic compound; L represents a ligation group substituted on the organic spacer selected from the group consisting of carboxylate group, —C(═O)O−; dithiocarboxylate group, —C(═S)S−; and &bgr;-diketonate group, —C(═O)C(R′)═C(—O−)—, wherein R′═H, or an aliphatic or aromatic group; M represents a transition metal or a rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of I to VIIB and VIII metals; m is the oxidation state of transition metal; and n is the number of the ligation group substituted on the organic spacer.
