The studies on the pyrolysis mechanisms of waste PVC contribute to development and application of pyrolysis technology for mixed waste plastics. In the article, the thermal decomposition mechanisms of model compound of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) have been investigated by employing density functional theory methods at M06-2X/6-31++G(d,p) level in order to illuminate the elimination of HCl and the formation of hydrocarbons. Various possible pyrolysis paths for the formation of main products were proposed, and the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters in every path were calculated. The calculation results show that the HCl elimination can occur through the concerted reaction and the energy barrier of HCl elimination changes from 167.4 to 243.3 kJ/mol; allyl group can obviously reduce the activation energy of HCl elimination, and the branched-chain can lower the energy barrier of HCl elimination at the carbon sites near the branch chain; a free radical is more easily converted into aromatic compound through a series of isomerizations, cyclization and dehydrogenation; the conjugated polyene could be decomposed in parallel reaction channels: one is the evolution of aromatics, another is the formation of small molecule products. The above analysis is consistent with previous experimental results and analysis |
