Abstract
AbstractA packed‐bed reactor was established to study the effect of temperature on the controlled air oxidation (CAO) performance of a mixture of polypropylene and sawdust at a fixed feed gas flow rate. The reactor temperature was varied from 400 to 800 °C. Attention was focused on product distribution, compositions of liquid and gas products, and technical parameters. The chemical composition of the liquid products was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results indicated an obvious impact of the temperature on the described parameters. The increase in temperature led to the decrease in solid fraction and a convex shape curve for the gas yield as well as to a decrease of alkanes and alkenes, and favored the generation of oxygen‐containing hydrocarbons. According to criteria of CAO conversion, the optimum temperature in the primary chamber was found to be 700 °C.
