| Résumé: | Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. The resource utilization and valorization of waste tires (WT) are of significant importance in reducing environmental pollution. To produce high-value p-cymene from WT, we propose a catalytic cascade process combining hydropyrolysis and catalytic gas-phase hydrotreating in a two-stage fixed-bed reactor. The effect of catalysts prepared with three different acidic supports on the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of limonene, a compound derived from the hydropyrolysis of WT, was investigated. The p-cymene formation could be controlled by optimizing process parameters, including hydropyrolysis temperature, hydrogenation temperature, and catalyst-to-feedstock ratio (C/F). Experimental results indicated that, in the absence of a catalyst, limonene was the main product of WT depolymerization. Under optimized conditions (hydropyrolysis temperature of 425 ℃, hydrotreating temperature of 400 ℃, C/F of 10:1, and reaction pressure of 0.15 MPa), the highest relative content of p-cymene (79.1%) was obtained over the Pd/SBA-15 catalyst. This demonstrates that our proposed catalytic cascade process of hydropyrolysis and selective gas-phase hydrogenation/dehydrogenation can convert WT into p-cymene with high added value |
