Abstract
Characteristics of pyrolysis and liquid product distribution of ABS plastics have been studied in the thermogravimetric(TG) reactor and bomb microreactor. Pyrolysis reactions were performed at temperature $400\sim450^{\circ}C$ and yield of each pyrolytic product was obtained by the weight measurement method. The molecular weight distributions of liquid products were determined by the GC-SIMDIS method. It was observed that solid residue which could not be detected in the thermogravimetric experiments was significantly formed in the batch-type microreactor. It was found that the yield and average molecular weight of liquid products were decreased with the increase of reaction temperature and time. but the formation of styrene monomer was significantly increased. The chain-end scission rate parameters were determined to be 54.1kcal/mole far ABS by the Arrhenius plot.
열중량반응기와 미분반응기를 이용하여 ABS의 역분해 및 생성물분포 특성을 연구하였으며 미분반응기를 이용한 실험의 열분해온도는 $400\sim450^{\circ}C$이었다. 각 상의 열분해생성물의 수율은 무게측정을 통해 얻었으며 액상생성물의 탄소수분포는 GC-SIMDIS 방법을 통해 측정하였다. 열중량분석실험에서는 측정할 수 없었던 다량의 고상잔류물의 생성을 회분식 미분반응기실험을 통해 확인학 수 있었다. 반응온도와 시간이 증가할수록 액상생성물의 수율과 평균분자량은 감소하였으나 액상생성물 중의 스티렌모노머의 생성은 두드러지게 증가하였다. ABS 열분해 반응에서 말단절단의 속도계수인 활성화에너지 값은 54.1kcal/mole이었다.
