Abstract
The co-pyrolysis characteristics of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) mixtures with various mixing ratios and effect of addition of CaO and $Cu_2O$ have been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In an isothermal decomposition conducted at $500^{\circ}C$, the yields of styrene monomers and aromatic compounds increased as the mixing ratio of ABS increased, and the yield of BTX compounds reached its maximum (16.14%) when the mixing ratios of PVC and ABS was 4:1. In an isothermal decomposition added with metal oxides, the maximum yield of liquid product was 73% when CaO [CaO/(PVC+ABS)=0.4] was added and it was 70% when $Cu_2O$ [$Cu_2O$/(PVC+ABS)=0.4] was added, respectively, where HCl contained in the gaseous product was completely removed when added with CaO [CaO/(PVC+ABS)=0.5] and $Cu_2O$ [$Cu_2O$/(PVC+ABS)=1.0]. Therefore, to obtain the highest yield of liquid product it appears to be the reaction condition: the reaction temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ and mixing ratios of CaO and $Cu_2O$ are 0.5 and 1.0, respectively.
PVC와 ABC의 혼합물을 대상으로 혼합비에 따른 공열분해 특성과 CaO와 $Cu_2O$의 첨가효과를 TG와 GC-MS를 이용하여 연구하였다. $500^{\circ}C$의 등온실험에서 ABS의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 스티렌 단량체와 방향족 화합물의 수율은 증가하였으며, BTX 화합물의 최대 수율은 PVC와 ABS의 혼합비가 4:1일 때 16.14% 정도임을 확인하였다. 금속산화물을 첨가한 경우 액상 생성물의 수율은 혼합비 0.4의 CaO를 첨가했을 때 73%와 0.4의 $Cu_2O$를 첨가했을 때 70%인 최대값을 얻을 수 있었으며, 각각 혼합비 0.5인 CaO와 1.0인 $Cu_2O$를 첨가했을 때 기상 생성물에 포함된 염화수소를 완전히 제거할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 실험조건에서는 염화수소를 완전히 제거할 수 있고, 가장 높은 액상 수율을 얻을 수 있는 반응조건은 $500^{\circ}C$에서 혼합비 0.5인 CaO나 혼합비 1.0인 $Cu_2O$를 첨가하는 것으로 사료된다.
