Conducive to the development trend of environmentally friendly plastic products

First, the impact of plastic applications on the environment According to statistics, the world's plastic consumption has increased rapidly in the past 20 years. In 2004, the total global plastic production was 224 million tons. In 2005, the total output reached 236 million tons, and the consumption reached 200 million. Ton. It is expected that by 2010, the average growth rate of global plastic consumption will reach 5.3%.
China's recyclable plastic waste is about 4 to 5 million tons per year, and about 2 million tons of waste plastics are actually recycled.
The harm caused by plastics to the environment is mainly in the following four aspects: 1. The lack of petrochemical resources.
2. The plastic processing consumes a lot of energy.
3. The production, use, by-products, emissions, and waste of plastic additives are harmful to the human body and the environment.
4, plastic products are not easy to break down and not easy to recycle, plastic waste pollution of the environment as hazardous waste.
Second, the concept of environmentally friendly plastics 1. Define plastics that will not cause irreversible damage to the environment during production, use, or disposal. That is to say, they are cost-effective, easy to recycle, use energy-saving and environmentally friendly methods, and be used in the environment. The plastic materials that are completely degraded and harmless to the natural environment, human beings, or biosphere are relatively environmentally friendly plastics.
2. Environment-friendly plastics classification 1) Recycled plastics â–  Reusable plastics such as POF â–  Recyclable plastics such as PET, PVAL2) Biodegradable â–  Biodegradable plastics (natural polymers and modified substances) such as starch, natural cellulose Derivatives and their filled modified POF.
Fully biodegradable plastics (biotransformation synthetic modifiers) such as starch-based, aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates, PLA.
3. Characteristics of environment-friendly plastics 1) Cleanliness can be produced by clean production, and plastic materials that can be routinely produced can be produced without the need of adding a small amount of additives.
2) Reduced, energy-saving plastic products that use homogeneous, homogenous, light-weight and bulk products or production methods that increase the availability of plastic raw materials and reduce processing energy consumption, such as gas-assisted molding, micro-hole forming, and half Melt molding, vibration molding technology.
3) Resource-based biomass resources - The use of natural polymers and plastics produced by biotransformation to obtain organic intermediates and synthetic polymer materials. Starch, straw composites, poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAS), polylactic acid (PLA).
4) Harmlessly degradable plastic products, biodegradable and hydrolyzed polymer materials such as PLA, PCL, polybutylene succinate PBS snow, PVAL.
III. Development and application status of environmentally friendly plastics at home and abroad (1) Recycled plastics 1 Development and application of recycled plastics 1) Industrial development of wood/plastic composite materials According to the research report of the United States PricinpiaPartmers Consulting Company in 2003, Europe and North America are currently the world's plastics The largest area of ​​wood material market is about 600,000 tons, of which the North American market accounts for about 85%. It is predicted that by 2010, wood/plastic composite materials in Europe and North America will increase by 14% and 18% respectively.
Wood/plastic composite materials used in: wall panels, partitions, decorative panels, building templates, highway noise separators, beach boards, dock platform boards, railway sleepers, packaging and logistics combination trays, storage racks, fences, Handrails, outdoor terraces and other transportation, construction, and public facilities.
It is predicted that by 2010, the largest application of wood/plastic composite foams is the introduction of building products. High-performance, lightweight wood/plastic composite foams will find great application in automotive interiors, doors and windows. China will continue to develop at an average annual growth rate of over 50%. The output and output value of China's wood/plastic composite materials and products will eventually form a new industrial system with a production value of 10 million tons/year or 70 billion yuan.
2) PEP bottle recycling technology Each year, the global consumption of beverage bottle waste is more than 10 million tons, and its output and consumption increase at a rate of 10% to 19% year by year. The consumption of polyester bottles in China was 1.78 million tons in 2005, and it is estimated that its recycling rate is at least 90%.
Polyester waste bottle recycling methods include physical and chemical methods. The vast majority of mechanical waste recycling is used to produce fiber, and some are used in plastic processing (non-food packaging materials and products). Chemical alcoholysis, alkaline hydrolysis, or hydrolysis of waste to produce terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and acetaldehyde and other substances. Physical recovery of waste bottles is the use of solid-phase polycondensation technology to improve the performance of waste, and then used for bottle filling beverages.
GE Plastics has successfully developed PBT resins and PC/PBT blends from used PET bottles. The target of this type of resin application is the automotive industry, and 80% of its output can be produced from waste waste bottles.
3) Production of high-density bricks from waste plastics Mexico will collect plastic bottles filled with shampoos, wine, mineral water, and beverages, and use molding technology to produce high-density bricks that are shock-resistant and have a long life compared to ordinary bricks. With its advantages of light weight and low cost, it can save 30% of construction costs.
4) Waste plastics to create advanced new packaging materials New Zealand has successfully synthesized waste plastic polyethylene milk bottles and waste coke bottles into a new plastic. This new type of plastic is harder than waste, and its oxygen barrier effect is increased by 2-3 times. It is very suitable for food packaging materials. With the addition of suitable additives, the electromagnetic shielding performance of the plastic is greatly improved, making it an ideal packaging material for electronic products. This new plastic can be recycled for several uses without degrading performance.
5) Classification of plastic parts in durable consumer goods 2. Recycling plastics recycling and decomposing technology 1) Pyrolysis into liquid fuels A. Conversion of waste polyolefins into aromatic hydrocarbons Kawashima Harima Heavy Industries has recently developed polyolefin plastics into benzene, The yields of toluene and xylene were: benzene 15%, toluene 20%, and xylene 15%. The remaining components are less than 10% ethylbenzene, about 30% C1 to C4 hydrocarbon gases, and waxes and cokes.
B. Depolymerization of Waste Plastics into Liquid Fuels Tokar has developed a new T-Technoloy process and applied it to the recycling of waste plastics from Entsorga, Cologne, Germany. The technology is to convert waste plastics into liquid fuels by depolymerization or to prepare oil fractions without pressurization during production.
The T-Technoloy process is an alternative to waste plastic granulation or incineration because the process converts the waste plastic back to its original form, that is, gas-distilled hydrocarbons containing C1-C4 chain lengths. Such hydrocarbons can be further processed. Refineries process or use fuel oil fractions for home heating.
2) Decomposing Waste Plastic Bottles with Microwave Oven Japan has recently developed a new method of recycling waste plastic bottles using microwave ovens. This method is the rapid decomposition of plastic bottles into raw materials, its energy consumption is only 1/4 of the traditional plastic bottle decomposition method. The specific method is: first cut the plastic bottle into pieces with a machine, add NaOH and alcohol substances to the chips, and then heat for 1.5 minutes in a microwave oven. Under the influence of microwaves, plastic bottle fragments can be decomposed into ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Ethylene glycol can be used to produce polyester fibers and antifreeze. High purity terephthalic acid can be used to make paints.
3) Decomposition and Recovery of Plastic Raw Materials by Supercritical Water The Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication reported the use of supercritical water for the degradation and recovery processes of waste plastics (PE, PP), and proposes a device diagram and reaction flow chart of the pilot plant. The reaction temperature is 400 to 600°C, the reaction pressure is 25 MPa, and the reaction time is 10 minutes or less, and an oil ratio of 90% or more can be obtained.
Decomposition experiments of PC with supercritical water showed that the purity of bisphenol-A as a decomposed product reached 95%, and the remaining 5% was a phenol used as a PC terminal blocking agent. Therefore, the purity of the raw material for this reaction was recovered. high.
(b) Completely degradable plastics 1. Development and application of fully degradable plastics 1) Starch Thermoplastic starch is used in the manufacture of films and garbage bags, such as Czech Ecofol films and Italian Bioflex films.
Starch foamed plastic balls, ropes, strips, nets, sheets, vacuum molded containers, and trays are mainly used as substitutes for polystyrene foam and have been commercialized. Such as the United States, Amylun, NationalStarch & Chemical, Daniels, Novon, International; Biotec in Western Europe, Storopack, Sunstarke, Novamont, PaperFoam; Asia, JapanCorn. Starch, Sakai Chemical, Chisso/Novon and other companies have already mass-produced, among which Japan Green Earth has developed a starch resin with better performance, the trade name is “green starch”; the United States Champion International has made starch fiber with excellent mechanical properties. .
2) Cellulose Derivatives Japan, Russia, and the United States have carried out research on biodegradable plastics mainly composed of cellulose derivatives. The Shikoku Industrial Technology Laboratory, the Japan Physical and Chemical Research Institute, and Nishikawa Rubber Industries Co., Ltd. obtained cast films, facial tissues, and foamed materials, respectively.
3) Polylactic acid polylactic acid (PLA)
It uses corn, wheat, cassava and other starches as raw materials to be decomposed by enzymes to obtain glucose-sulfured glucose. After fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, it is transformed into lactic acid and finally lactic acid is chemically synthesized to obtain high-purity polymers. At present, the synthesis of PLA has two main methods: 1 direct polycondensation; 2 lactide ring-opening polymerization. The direct polymerization process is simple, the amount of chemical materials and reagents is small, but the polymer molecular weight is still low. The lactide ring-opening polymerization method is an indirect method, and the synthesis process uses lactic acid as a raw material to prepare lactide first in the presence of an initiator or a catalyst, and then to prepare PLA and its copolymer by ring-opening polymerization of lactide in the presence of a catalyst. . This method can obtain high molecular weight (700,000 - 1 million) PLA, but the process is complicated and the cost is high. At present, the United States, Germany, Japan, Finland, and the Netherlands have all achieved the industrialization of polylactic acid. The United States Cargill-Dow Company, with an annual output of 140,000 tons, uses polylactic acid products in packaging, textiles, and disposable plastic products.
In 1998 Germany realized the commercialization of PLA boxes. In Japan Unigika, Zhongfang, Dongli, Mitsui Chemicals and other companies have annual production of less than 10,000 tons, of which Toray is working with Cargill Dow in spinning development. In addition, Denmark, Canada, South Korea and other countries are also conducting polylactic acid industrialization research. The domestic Hisun Group has realized the industrialization of polylactic acid.
4) Poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAS)
PHAS has two preparation methods: 1 It uses starch as raw material, and it is produced by bio-fermentation (such as Alcaligenes eutropha) technology; 2 It uses alkanes as carbon source, and it is prepared by changing the control conditions of carbon source and Pseudomonas culture process. Different structure of PHAS.
Austrian Linz Chemical Group and Austrian Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. use alkali-producing bacilli to use molasses as raw material and produce 20 tons of PHB per year. ICI, an original British imperial chemical company, commercialized PHB and PHBV with the product name "BIOPOL". The Brazilian company PHBIndustralS/A has an annual output of 50 tons. Japan's Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company has an annual output of 10 tons. Japan Showa Polyester produces aliphatic polyester PHB (polybutylene succinate) for shopping bags, agricultural films, plates, etc. After modification of isocyanate materials, it can improve the material's rigidity and thermoplasticity. Domestic Tianan Biomaterials Co., Ltd. PHBV production capacity of 1,000 tons / year.
5) Copolyesters Japan's Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals (MGC) produces carbonated polyester (PEC), which has a melting point of 110°C and performs similarly to PP homopolymers and is used by Sony for tape packaging. The aliphatic aromatic random copolyester (Ecoflex) manufactured by BASF, Germany, does not need to be dried prior to processing. It has good processing melt stability below 230°C, good tensile properties, and a film thickness of 10 μm can be obtained. Good barrier properties for oxygen and water vapor, excellent price performance ratio.
Inner Mongolia Mengxi Company was established at the end of 2002 to build an annual production capacity of 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide and propylene oxide copolymer (PPC) synthetic production line, is currently mainly used in packaging and medical materials.
