Abstract
Pyrolysis experiments of HDPE and LDPE were carried out in the stainless steel reactor of internal volume of 40 $cm^3$. Pyrolysis reactions were performed at temperature $410{\sim}460^{\circ}C$ and the pyrolysis products were collected separately as liquid and gas products. The molecular weight distributions(MWDs) and composition of each product were determined by HPLC-GPC and GC analysis. It was represented that the yield and the molecular weight of liquid product were decreased with the increase of reaction temperature and time. The chain-end scission rate parameters, respectively, were determined to be 63.0kcal/mole of HDPE, 45.7kcal/mole of LDPE by the Arrhenius plot.
HDPE와 LDPE에 대한 열분해실험을 반응기 크기가 40 $cm^3$인 스테인레스 스틸 반응기에서 수행하였으며 이때 반응온도는 $410{\sim}460^{\circ}C$이었다. 열분해생성물인 액상생성물과 기상생성물을 분리하여 채취하였고 각 생성물의 분자량분포는 HPLC-GPC와 GC분석을 통해 얻었다. 미분반응기에서 열분해온도와 시간이 증가할수록 액상생성물의 수율과 분자량 분포는 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 열분해반응에서 말단절단의 속도계수인 활성화에너지 값은 HDPE, 63.0kcal/mole, LDPE, 45.7kcal/mole 이었다.
