摘要

To address the challenges of efficient, clean processing and resource recovery of waste plastics, this study selected two representative waste polymers-polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-as research subjects. Firstly, thermogravimetric analysis was employed to systematically investigate the pyrolysis behaviour of both single components (PS, PVC) and their mixed component (PS/PVC). Subsequently, comparative experiments and theoretical thermogravimetric curves confirmed the presence of synergistic effects during co-pyrolysis, with an in-depth analysis of their combined impact on pyrolysis behaviour (pyrolysis characteristics, kinetic parameters, thermodynamic parameters) and product distribution. Findings revealed the termination pyrolysis temperature of PS/PVC co-pyrolysis advanced significantly by 8.7℃,the PS/PVC co-pyrolysis process exhibited an overall positive synergistic effect. Kinetic analysis indicated: PS pyrolysis followed the A3/2 model; PVC pyrolysis comprised two stages, adhering to the A1 and F3 models; PS/PVC co-pyrolysis followed the A3/4 and F3 models, with the activation energy sequence for pyrolysis being PVC > PS/PVC > PS. Thermodynamic analysis indicates the complexity of these reactions increases in the order PVC > PS/PVC > PS. Furthermore, synergistic effects significantly altered the distribution of pyrolysis products. Specifically, the actual gas yield of PS/PVC (40.3%) increased by 8.0% relative to the theoretical value (37.3%), while the actual oil yield (50.0%) decreased by 7.9% compared to the theoretical value (54.3%).
