Can vehicle bumpers be recycled using the pyrolysis process?

Yes, vehicle bumpers can be recycled using the pyrolysis process. Here let's give a brief introduction to this topic.

1. The pyrolysis principle of vehicle bumpers by pyrolysis plant

Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process in which the raw material ( organic wastes like waste rubber tyre, plastic, in this case vehicle bumpers) uses heat to break the chemical bonds of large molecules in the waste material in the absence of complete oxygen or limited oxygen supply. The process of converting it into low molecular weight liquid fuel oil, combustible gas (hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide mixture) and solid carbon.

The structure of the vehicle bumpers is generally made from plastic materials like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), etc. and other enhanced engineering plastics. Therefore, pyrolysis process can be used to convert used vehicle bumpers, which are typically made of plastic materials into valuable products.

2. After pyrolysis, what specific products can customers get from car bumpers recycling pyrolysis plants?

(1)Pyrolysis oil

Pyrolysis oil obtained from vehicle bumper pyrolysis plant is a heating fuel with a very high calorific value and can be used as an alternative fuel to diesel for boilers, cement plants, glass plants, steel plants, etc. It can also be converted into very high purity light diesel by DOING pyrolysis oil distillation plant being done.

(2)Carbon black

After pyrolysis, you get raw carbon black, which can be sold directly to cement plants as an additive to make cement. It is also possible to use DOING carbon black deep processing equipment to obtain N440, N550 and other grades of standard carbon black after fine processing of raw carbon black.

(3)Flammable but non-condensable gas

This syngas is similar to natural gas and will be recycled directly into the furnace of the reactor for heating. If customers want to improve their utilization, they can consider storing excess gas and selling it separately as an alternative heating fuel to natural gas.

3. Potential benefits for recycling vehicle bumper by pyrolysis plant

(1)It allows for the recovery of valuable resources from used bumpers, reducing waste and conserving raw materials. The pyrolysis process can generate useful byproducts such as pyrolysis oil, which can be used as a heating fuel source for various boilers, furnaces, heavy oil power plants or further refined into diesel for wider uses, such as trucks, tractors, diesel generators, etc.

(2)It can help reduce the environmental impact of discarded bumpers by diverting them from landfills or incineration.

(3)Pyrolysis plant offers a way to recycle bumpers made from various types of plastic, including those that are difficult to recycle through traditional methods. And it can help us create economic benefits.
