초록
농업용 필름을 제조하는데 사용되는 EVA 공중합체, LDPE, LLDPE 혼합물의 접촉 열분해 반응에 있어서 MCM-41 촉매에 aluminium을 첨가가 생성물의 수율, 탄소 수 분포 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Aluminium은 direct 및 post 방법으로 첨가하였고, 열분해 반응은 액상 접촉과 기상 접촉 반응 결과를 비교하였다. Direct 또는 post 방법으로 aluminium이 첨가된 MCM-41에서 aluminium 첨가량이 증가할수록 Lewis 산점이 증가하여 전체 산점의 양이 증가하였는데 post 방법으로 제조된 촉매에서 산점의 양이 더 많이 증가하였다. 액상 접촉 반응에서 aluminium의 양이 증가하면 가벼운 탄화수소가 많이 생기는데, C5-C12 범위의 탄소화합물의 생성에 Al-MCM-41-P 촉매가 더 효과가 컸다. 기상 접촉 반응에서는 Al-MCM-41-D와 Al-MCM-41-P사이의 차이가 액상 접촉 반응시보다 상대적으로 적게 나타났으나, 액상접촉 반응에 비해 C13-C32 범위의 탄화수소가 크게 감소했음을 알 수 있다.
The effect of aluminium addition to MCM-41 on product yield and carbon number distribution was investigated in the catalytic cracking of a polymer mixture, LDPE, LLDPE, and EVA copolymer, with a composition similar to that found in real agricultural film wastes. Al-MCM-41 catalyst synthesized by post-synthetic grafting method (Al-MCM-41-P) as well as Al-MCM-41 catalyst synthesized by direct sol-gel (Al-MCM-41-D). The catalytic cracking of polymer mixture was carried out in vapor phase contact as well as in liquid phase contact. The amount of acid sites increased with aluminium addition by post method as well as direct method, which was seemed to be due to Lewis acid sites. In liquid phase catalytic cracking, the yield of light hydrocarbon fraction increased with aluminium addition. The effect of aluminium addition on production of C5-C12 hydrocarbons over Al-MCM-41-P catalysts was greater than that over Al-MCM-41-D catalysts. In the case of vapor phase catalytic cracking, the effect of aluminium addition was smaller than that of liquid phase catalytic cracking. The selectivity to C13-C32 hydrocarbons was smaller in vapor phase catalytic cracking.
