Conversion of waste polymers to carbon nanofilaments

纳米孔（聚合物残留物的纳米细丝）是PRIMA、KWIPolymers、索理o和舍布鲁克大学（UdeS）基于知识产权和KWIPolymers的纳米添加剂分散技术的协同项目。该项目的总体目标是开发和扩大碳纳米丝（CNF）合成工艺，其中包括两种新型热催化反应器配置（自动热裂解器（ATP）和流体+移动催化床）的研发工作，以及对衍生产品（CNF）作为聚合物添加剂的评估。该工艺是基于美国专利7,794,690关于碳封存和美国专利申请200,070,253,886,200,050,220,695由udes拥有。该项目的第一步是采用专利工艺，使用不可回收的聚合物（被丢弃在垃圾填埋场）作为原料生产合成气体+液体。碳氢化合物重整的催化剂基于美国专利申请20,120,273,728，需要集成到拟议的工艺中。CNF生长的催化剂基于美国专利申请20,090,203,519，并将适应控制CNF中所含形状和催化剂百分比的工艺。在该项目期间，将开发一个1kg/h CNF合成kg-lab反应器和一个处理废物/残余聚合物的ATP反应器，合成的CNF将通过KWI开发的KFusionTM工艺进行复合，专门用于集成添加剂。该项目产生的总体附加价值是，废弃/残余聚合物将被固化为cnf， cnf作为添加剂，提高回收聚合物的质量，使KWI回收的复合聚合物符合其合作伙伴索理o的预期规格。

NanoF-PoRes (Nano-Filaments from polymeric residues) is a synergetic project between PRIMA, KWIPolymers, Soleno and Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS) based on UdeS intellectual property (IP), and thenano-additive dispersion technology of KWI Polymers. The overall objective of the project is the developmentand scale-up of a carbon nanofilaments (CNF) synthesis process, which includes R&D work on two novelthermocatalytic reactors configurations (an auto-thermal pyrolyzer (ATP) and a fluid+mobile catalytic bed)and the evaluation of the so-derived product (CNF) as a polymers additive. The process is based on US patent7,794,690 on Carbon sequestration and US patents applications 20,070,253,886, 20,050,220,695 owned byUdeS. The first step of the project is to adapt the patented process to use non-recyclable polymers (which aredisposed in landfills) as raw materials to produce the synthetic gas+liquid. The catalyst for the hydrocarbonreforming is based on US patent application 20,120,273,728 and needs to be integrated in the proposedprocess. The catalyst for CNF growth is based on US patent application 20,090,203,519 and will be adapted tothe process to control the shape and catalyst % contained in the CNF. A 1kg/h CNF synthesis kg-lab reactorand an ATP reactor processing the waste/residual polymers will be developed during the project and thesynthesized CNF will be compounded by the KFusionTM process developed by KWI specially to integrateadditives. The overall plus-value generated by this project is that waste/residual polymers will be valorised asCNF, which, as additives, raise the quality of recycled polymers so that KWI recycled composite polymers willmeet the specifications expected by its partner Soleno.
