    Hello you all in this video I will explain how you can build your own pyrolysis reactor. The video shows how I am improving my combustion chamber to minimize heat loss. During the video I will answer the most asked questions and give you all the information you need to build your own plastic waste to oil reactor. So lets dive straight into the fun!
    To begin you need some spray glue ceramic insulating material and a respirator. As you can see the Insulation in my old chamber is quite thin which decreases the heat efficiency and increases the amount of gas I need to heat the system. Additionally, is the refractory cement coating cracked in several places and needs a work over. To build your combustion chamber in which you will heat your reaction vessel you need a shell. I used some thin steal sheet and bend it into the diameter I needed. But you can use anything if it can handle a temperature of around 100°C. An example for this would be an old metal drum or a big paint can. It all depends on the size of the system you want to build. So now you must loosely attach the insulation material to the wall of your shell I used spray glue for this because it was very easy to do. The respirator is mandatory, so you don´t breath in any glue. You can use other insulation material like stone wool or refractory. An important information is that you should use a insulation material that has a low heat capacity like stone wool or ceramic because the reaction chamber heats ups much quicker and you don´t waste to much energy on heating up your insulation material. A negative example is refractory cement it stores a lot of heat and leads to a long heat up phase and a long cool down and so wastes a lot of energy. But One thing to consider is that the refractory cement is way cheaper and if poured correctly yields a strong and resistant insulation. Insulating the chamber using ceramic fiber or stone wool is very easy. You cut the sheets you have into the right size sprays glue them together and fill up the gaps using the leftovers. For this step it is important that you cut the insulation in a way that you have very big pieces because through every gap heat will escape. To minimize this effect work with a double layer like I am. Alternate the positions where your gaps are in such a way that all gaps have the maximum distance to each over and none of them are on top of each over. This will help you keep the heat in your chamber. When working with ceramic fiber or stone wool you must wear a respirator because fine particles of these materials can lead to irritation and lung damage. Furthermore, I strongly advise you to wear long clothing because after I had finished the insulation my arms were itchy which maybe due to the ceramic fibers that came in contact with my skin.
    So now that we have discussed how to build the combustion chamber lets us progress to the second step which is building the reaction chamber. The only material that works good for reaction chamber is metal that should be at least 1.5 millimeters in thickness. You need this wall thickness because the conditions you are putting the reaction chamber in require durability. At the temperature of around 400 to 600°C the reactor is operating metal is already softening and the corrosion rate is drastically increased. So to ensure the safety of the whole system do not use a chamber with less wall thickness.
    I used a very large steel pipe and closed one end by welding in a metal plate. After this you need a flange that ensures your system is gastight and doesn´t let of toxic vapor. The best thing to use here is a weld neck flange that gets welded into the other side of the reaction chamber. Just buy the flange size you find fitting for your setup. It is important that you put the flange in a position where no liquid contacts because this allows you to use gas sealing rope instead of very expansive seals. I have used ISOTHERM 800 from the company Frenzelit and it worked quite well. If you want to know how to install the gas sealing watch my first video on the waste to fuel project. When the reaction chamber is completed you need pipes and a condenser. It is very important to note that the pipe coming from the reaction chamber that leads to the condenser has a significant impact on the oil you are producing. All along the connection pipe the vapor will condensate and reflux. Reflux is the term chemist use to describe that a liquid is boiled of and then condenses and drips back into the boiling flask. In this case the boiling flask is our reaction chamber. This reflux leads to more thermal cracking which reduces the amount of liquid oil and increases the amount of gas you are producing. One thing to note is that with more reflux you get a lighter oil which means the hydrocarbon chains are shorter.To put this into simpler terms the longer your connection pipe the shorter your hydrocarbons are. To build the condenser I advise you to go with a simple Liebig type design because it is easy to build and minimizes the risk that your condenser gets blocked. Building a Liebig condenser is easy just weld a smaller pipe into a bigger one. Then connect the inner pipe to a threated pipe so you can connect the condenser to the other pipes in your setup. Drill two holes in the condenser shell and weld on two small pipes where the cooling water hose gets connected. It is hard to give an estimation on how long the condenser should be. I advise you to go with the more is better approach because if the condenser is to short you will get into trouble. So now that we have some basics about the combustion and the reaction chamber let us lock at possible improvements. For this you must prepare some refractory cement and cut fitting pieces out of refractory stone. To prepare the cement you just have to combine the refractory cement and water and mix it well. This is done until the cement has the right consistency. The refractory stone will serve as the base of the reaction chamber because the soft ceramic fiber would be compressed by the weight of the reaction chamber thus decreasing its insulation capacity. The refractory stone pieces must be soaked in water to ensure that the refractory cement hardens in the right rate. When the stones have been soaked, a generous amount of refractory cement is applied, and the pieces are pressed against the wall. This is done until all the refractory stone pieces are in their right place. The trowel is used to fill gaps and scrape of excess cement. This bottom lining with refractory stone increases the efficiency of the whole system but ads a lot of weight to it which can lead to problems in a portable version like mine. So now I want to speak about the process in general and the materials you can and can not use. The so-called pyrolysis is a process in which log chain hydrocarbons are heated in the absence of oxygen.

    Now my thought is to use some of the heat of a reverse flow wood burner (air flow top down through the wood fuel) to heat a separate pyrolysis chamber that breaks down plastic into flammable gasess that is then (after passing through multiple inline copper flame arrestors - for safety) is then fed into the secondary combustion chamber prior to the added forced air. Thus you get the burning efficiency and particulate elimination of the reverse flow with the added fuel value of the plastic (about equal to coal on an energy per weight basis). Reverse flow wood burning is generally a batch process, one load a day.

    Many pyrolysis videos ignore important details. Some are really dangerous and make out that you can use the products directly in diesel engines. Fortunately, I discovered a while back that doing so will probably destroy your engine. Thanks for making the effort to include the important stuff.
    So a question: I wonder, is there a practical way to pyrolyse halogenated plastics and remove the halogens for safe disposal? I accumulate a lot of PVC plastic waste and there is no local recycling available for PVC. I hate throwing it in landfill but releasing environmental pollutants would be worse and something I do not want to do.

  • @HazelChem
    @HazelChem  4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    The thermal input leads to cracking and the formation of shorter hydrocarbon chains which are lower boiling than the starting material. To put this into simpler terms. Just imagine an organic substance like wood or plastic waste as a long chain, every chain link corresponds to a carbon atom that has mostly hydrogen or oxygen atoms bonded to it. If you heat up this chain in the presence of oxygen the chain elements will react with the oxygen forming water and carbon dioxide. But if you heat up the chain in the absence of oxygen there is no reaction partner. To understand this part, you have to know that temperature corelates to the movement of atoms the hotter something is the faster the atoms moves. So, if the atoms in our chain get to hot and thus move to fast the energy bonding them to each other is overcome and the chain breaks. This forms two smaller chains which have a lower boiling point this happens until the boiling point of the produced chains gets low enough for them to boil out of the reaction chamber and travel to the condenser. At the condenser the so produced hydrocarbon vapor condensates and turns back into a liquid. This liquid is a mixture of a wide range of hydrocarbons ranging from very short to very long. In general, short hydrocarbon chains have a low boiling point are the main component of petrol and easily ignite when contacted with a flame. Long chain hydrocarbons on the other hand are the components in paraffine wax or diesel, they do not ignite when brought in contact with a flame. And all of them are in the crude pyrolysis oil such a reactor produces.Before I tell you which materials you can and cannot put in your reactor there is one thing left to do. As you can see I am applying a layer of refractory cement to the inside of the combustion chamber. This protects the ceramic fiber from direct contact with flame and other things and increases the live span of your setup. So now back to the materials you can use. In general, you can use everything that is organic. But because we don´t won´t to produce toxins and pollute the environment it is very important that you stick my guidelines. You can use wood plastic waste old motor oil anything you want but with the exception that they do not contain halogens which means fluorine chlorine bromine iodine. So, no PVC Teflon or any of the other halogenated plastics. Furthermore, it is important that the starting material does not contain sulfur. This means tires and rubber because rubber is vulcanized using sulfur. Using rubber or tires will yield a pyrolysis oil that when burned produces sulfur dioxide which leads to acidic rain and is very harmful to the environment.When you have successfully made your first batch of pyrolysis oil it is important that you do not use it as it is. As I explained, is the produced oil a mixture of many different hydrocarbons and for it to be safely used as fuel it has to be fractionated which is a term for separating it into different boiling ranges via distillation. I already made a video on the fractionation of the pyrolysis oil which should explain the details of the process. I will continue this waste to fuel pyrolysis series with the hydrogenation of the different oil fractions an urushibara nickel catalyst. I have also build a fractionating column that will directly sperate the pyrolysis vapor into a heavy, middle and a light distillate which should directly yield somewhat usable fuel. This could be directly used in developing countries as a saver alternative than directly burning plastic.So if you enjoyed watching this video leave me a like and subscribe to my channel. You can also support me through patreon which helps me cover some of the costs sustaining a lab and building all of this equipment makes. So only one thing left to say Have fun and don not kill yourself

    In theory you should be able to do this with solar thermal energy. I've read that if you use fluoride salts, you can achieve temperatures of 700 - 800 °C.
    You could also slap the reactor in a thermos and coat it with carbon to skip the salt and it's complications. Probably hard to build such a large thermos. Maybe you won't even need the thermos if you have enough concentrators?
    You could regulate the temperature by automatically controlling the concentrators, probably only makes sense for large scale setups like solar power plants.
    Maybe it would work for hobbyists with cheap solar mirrors made from space blankets, like Sergiy Yurko is building.
    Not that it would be practical or anything, just a fun thought experiment

      Fibreglass insulation has a similar effect. (Maybe it is the same thing with a different name.) When I was about five and safety standards were not as strict, friends and I made the mistake of playing in a pile of it. We itched for days but I think we got off lightly: luckily it wasn't asbestos insulation which was fairly common at the time.

      Anything organic works, but the materials that don't contain oils will be reduced to raw carbon, which is essentially purified coal. Or you can use it to enrich soil for plants and crops.

      yes you can produce diesel, gasoline, kerosene with it , and it is viable as you only need a little propane to heat it up, afterwards when the pyrolysis is producing it´s own gas you can use it to heat the reactor and continue the procedure

    Seeing as though only ~8% of plastic waste is actually recycled, when do you see a commercial application of this technology being implemented? Could fuel production through pyrolysis ever be competitive economically versus virgin fuel extraction in the near future?

But is the gas used to heat up the plastic waste MORE than the oil/fuel made? and therefore its is not efficient because you pollute more because of heating the plastic and little oil is produced, or is the gas use less that the fuel produced? This is dificult to explain on text sorry,

      @@aviationengine6701 well in a improved system you would use the pyrolysis gas to sustain the reaction after a initial heat up with external gas. Rough calculations say that around 40% of the energy contained in the plastic waste is used to fuel the reactor. As I wrote in several comments the best thing for such a system would be that there is one per settlement in a developing country and that the waste heat is used to prepare meals or to boil waster. In a industrial country a district heating system could be combined with the reactor.

You are doing the same as a lot of other people, you are explaining details of how to construct the equipment to do the job. ( Yes, it is needed, but anyone who can make home-made stuff, probably CAN make it on its own ! When I listen to any of these videos, first of all, I am looking for explanation of the PRINCIPLE
    involved !!! ( not to listen for an hour how to insulate a container !!
    i STILL HAVE not learned what you do with the liquified plastc ??? And that was the title of the video !!

    • @HazelChem
      @HazelChem  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Mike, I am not sure how good your English is but during the video I explained the how thermolytic decomposition (which is pyrolysis) works. If you like to, I can make a separate video on the principle of the mechanism.
      Secondly, I never stated that I am doing something novel here! The technology behind this goes all the way back to the beginning of the 20th. century (coal liquification). Third I am currently very busy with my Ch. bachelors so the follow up videos are just not finished. the next video in the series is on how to build the column which is used to separate the produced oil into different hydrocarbon fractions.
      Hope this answers your questions
