Recycling and treatment method of waste toothpaste tubes - pyrolysis technology

Toothpaste is a daily necessity and its consumption is huge. As a result, a large number of waste toothpaste tubes are generated. If these wastes are not properly handled, they will cause considerable pressure on the environment. In recent years, pyrolysis technology, as an effective method for treating waste plastics, has also been tried to be applied to the recycling and treatment of waste toothpaste tubes, other similar waste plastic materials and solid waste, etc.

Waste pyrolysis technology applications

The material of waste toothpaste tubes is mainly a composite structure of plastic and metal aluminum. Among them, the plastic part is mostly polymer materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), while the metal part is made of aluminum. While this composite structure protects the toothpaste from pollution, it also brings certain challenges to the recycling and treatment after disposal. Traditional recycling methods often find it difficult to effectively separate plastics and metals, resulting in low recycling efficiency.

Pyrolysis technology provides a new solution. During the pyrolysis process, the plastic part of the waste toothpaste tube can be decomposed into small molecular hydrocarbon gas, liquid and residue in a high-temperature oxygen-free or low-oxygen environment. These decomposition products can be further condensed and separated to obtain high-value-added products such as plastic pyrolysis fuel oil, carbon black and syn-gas. The metal aluminum part remains unchanged during the pyrolysis process and can be easily separated from the residue for further recycling.

The pyrolysis technology is well matched with the material of the waste toothpaste tube. Plastic materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene are easy to crack at high temperatures, and the pyrolysis products have high economic value. At the same time, as a high-value metal, the recycling and reuse of aluminum is also of great significance. Through pyrolysis technology, the plastic and metal in the waste toothpaste tube can be effectively separated and recycled, realizing the maximum utilization of resources.

The advantages of pyrolysis technology in recycling waste toothpaste tubes are its high efficiency and environmental protection. Traditional recycling methods often require complex physical or chemical treatment processes, while pyrolysis technology can simultaneously achieve the decomposition of plastics and the recovery of metals in a relatively simple reaction process. In addition, the fuel oil and gas produced in the pyrolysis process can be used as energy, and carbon black can be used as filler or further processed into other products, thereby achieving waste reduction, resource utilization and harmlessness.

From the perspective of convenience, the operation of pyrolysis technology is relatively simple, the equipment investment cost is moderate, and it can adapt to the treatment needs of waste toothpaste tubes or together with other waste plastic materials of different scales. Whether it is a large recycling center or a small family workshop, you can choose the appropriate waste plastic pyrolysis machine and process parameters to recycle the waste toothpaste tubes according to the actual situation.

In summary, pyrolysis technology, as an emerging method for recycling waste toothpaste tubes and similar waste aluminum plastic or plastic materials, has broad application prospects and significant economic benefits. Through pyrolysis technology, we can turn waste toothpaste tubes into treasures, realize the sustainable use of resources and environmental protection.
