Effect of temperature and chemical treatment on the rate of the reaction of high density polyethylene with ozone

Polymer pipes are being widely used by many industrial segments. Although not affected by corrosion, the mechanical performance of these pipes can be reduced due to exposure to temperature, UV radiation and by contact with various fluids. Depending on the deterioration process, embrittlement or plasticization may occur, and the service life of the pipe can be severely reduced. In this work, the combined action of temperature and water upon the mechanical performance of polyamide 12 and high-density polyethylene pipes is evaluated. Destructive and non-destructive techniques were used and the performance of both materials was compared. Both polymers were platicized by the effect of water. However, for high density polyethylene the effect of temperature was more relevant than for polyamide. This behavior was attributed to the dependence of the free volume with the markedly different glass transition temperature of the polymers and the temperatures of testing.

This research aims to study the effect of temperature, collecting time, and condensers on properties of pyrolysis oil. The research was done be analyzing viscosity, density, proportion of pyrolysis products and performance of each condenser towers for the pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the mobile pyrolysis plant. Results showed that the main product of HDPE resin was liquid, and the main product of PET resin was solid. Since the pyrolysis of PET results in mostly solid which blocked up the pipe, the analysis of pyrolysis oil would be from the use of HDPE as a raw material. The pyrolysis of HDPE resin in the amount of 100 kg at 400, 425, and 450°C produced the amount of oil 22.5, 27, and 40.5 L, respectively. The study found that 450°C was the temperature that gives the highest amount of pyrolysis oil in the experiment. The viscosity was in the range of 3.287–4.850 cSt. The density was in the range of 0.668–0.740 kg/L. The viscosity and density were increased according to three factors: high pyrolysis temperature, number of condensers and longer sampling time. From the distillation at temperatures below 65, 65–170, 170–250, and above 250°C, all refined products in each temperature range had the carbon number according to their boiling points. The distillation of pyrolysis oil in this experiment provided high amount of kerosene, followed by gasoline and diesel.

Synthesis Of Carbon Nanotubes

This article presents results of carbon nanotubes synthesis from household high-density polyethylene waste by thermal decomposition. A specific feature of this work is that the decomposition of high-density polyethylene waste and synthesis of carbon nanotubes were carried out in one-step using three-zone chemical vapor deposition reactor. The effect of temperature in the range of 450‒550 °C on decomposition products of high-density polyethylene was investigated. The decomposition products of polyethylene wastes were investigated by IR Fourier spectroscopy. Cenospheres obtained from ash and slag waste from thermal power plants during coal combustion were used as a catalyst for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes. The cenospheres were impregnated with an aqueous solution of iron nitrate. It was found that as a result of thermal decomposition of high-density polyethylene waste at temperature of 450 °C, gaseous carbon-containing compounds are formed, which upon further heating to 800 °C lead to the formation of carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 16‒21 nm on the surface of catalyst. Physicochemical analysis showed that turbostratic carbon is almost completely absent in the formed product. Carbon nanotubes analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
