Abstract

Resource recycling of millions of solid wastes is a world’s problems. Because element is the basic unit of all wastes, the essence of wastes recycling is to realize cycle of elements in wastes. In this paper, a new concept of element cycle in wastes is proposed. Under guidance of element cycle, various wastes have common connection point. The concept is clarified by a case of C, H, Cl and In element cycle from waste PVC plastic and LCD panels. In this paper, a vacuum pyrolysis of waste PVC was proposed to recycle indium in LCD and synchronously prepare carbon coating. Cl in PVC combined with In in LCD was mainly regenerated in the form of InCl3. Meantime, C and H in PVC were reused to prepare carbon coating and energy products, such as pyrolysis oil and gas. The recycling system means to change two kinds of wastes into resources by their own element characteristics. Under optimized conditions, recovery rate of indium exceeded 98 %. Meantime, with increasing temperature, microstructure of carbon coating is...
