Chemical recycling of municipal packaging waste by pyrolysis

[EN]The present doctoral thesis centers on studying pyrolysis as a chemical recycling technique for rejected packaging waste fractions coming from separation and sorting plants. The pyrolysis experiments have been carried out in a lab-scale installation equipped with a 3.5 L semi-batch reactor and a condensation and collection system for the liquids and gases generated. In the present thesis, an experimental study on the conventional pyrolysis process applied to the aforementioned waste fractions has been conducted, as well as the study of non-conventional or advanced pyrolysis processes such as catalytic and stepwise pyrolysis. The study of the operating parameters has been carried out using a mixed plastics simulated sample, the composition of which is similar to that found in real fractions, and subsequently the optimized process has been applied to real packaging waste. An exhaustive characterization of the solids, liquids and gases obtained in the process has been made after each experiment and their potential uses have been established. Finally, an empirical model that will predict the pyrolysis yields (% organic liquid, % aqueous liquid, % gases, % char, % inorganic solid) as a function of the composition of the initial sample has been developed. As a result of the experimental work done, the requirements have been established for an industrial packaging waste pyrolysis plant that aims to be sufficiently versatile as to generate useful products regardless of the nature of the raw material.

Análisis del proceso de Friction Drilling: Análisis de la calidad de la junta atornillada

[ES]En el presente trabajo, se pretende optimizar la unión atornillada de chapas de dos materiales disimilares (acero y aluminio) mediante un proceso no convencional, el taladrado por fricción. Dicho proceso está orientado a la calderería fina, sector en el cual tiene gran número de aplicaciones. Se comenzará con una serie de ensayos iníciales y se procederá a realizar pruebas sistemáticas. Se realizarán mediciones de temperaturas, momentos torsores y fuerzas, y se analizaran las tolerancias dimensionales generadas por el proceso para la elección de los parámetros óptimos. El documento se centrará en analizar de forma teórica el comportamiento mecánico de la unión y de los ensayos de tracción correspondientes. Esto servirá para realizar los futuros ensayos de calidad y posteriormente comparar los resultados con los de las uniones convencionales.
