据ICIS网站1月19日消息 韩国生产商乐金化学正在建设一座2万吨/年的塑料回收厂，该厂将利用高温蒸汽从塑料废料中生产石油。
该公司在1月18日的一份声明中称，该工厂将于今年在忠清省唐津开工，预计将于2024年第一季度完工。
乐金化学正与英国Mura科技公司合作建造新的回收工厂。
该韩国生产商是Mura的投资者，也是唐津工厂专有超临界热解技术的许可持有者。
超临界热解是一种化学回收技术，利用高温高压蒸汽将混合的塑料流转化为化石替代油和化学品。
据乐金化学称，新设施产生的约80%的塑料废物可以转化为可再生石油，以取代化石燃料。
该公司表示，剩余的20%的副产品气体也可以再用作能源。
该公司表示：“一旦回收设施在2024年第一季度全面投入运营，乐金化学计划审查进一步的扩建项目。”
据乐金化学称，全球化学品回收市场预计将以超过17%的年增长率（CAGR）增长，从2020年的70万吨增长到2030年的330万吨，其中包括可从塑料废物中提取的热解油。

S Korea’s LG Chem to build new hydrothermal plastic recycling plant
South Korean producer LG Chem is building a 20,000 tonne/year plastic recycling plant which will produce oil from plastic waste using high-temperature steam.
Construction of the plant will begin this year at Dangjin in Chungcheong province, and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024, the company said in a statement on 18 January.
LG Chem is collaborating with UK-based Mura Technology for the new recycling plant.
The Korean producer is an investor in Mura and a licensee of its proprietary supercritical pyrolysis technology for the Dangjin plant.
Supercritical pyrolysis is a chemical recycling technology that converts mixed plastic streams into fossil-replacement oils and chemicals using steam at high temperature and pressure beyond a critical point.
Around 80% of the plastic waste from the new facility can be converted into renewable oils that can replace fossil fuels, according to LG Chem.
The remaining 20% of by-product gases can also be re-used as an energy source, it said.
“once the recycle facility goes into full operation by the first quarter of 2024, LG Chem plans to review additional expansions,” the company said.
The global chemical recycling market is expected to grow at an annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 17% from 700,000 tonnes in 2020 to 3.3m tonnes by 2030 in terms of pyrolysis oil that can be extracted from plastic wastes, according to LG Chem.
