Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of modified pitches and low boiling aromatics and olefins is described. Waste plastic which consists of polymeric chains of olefins is subjected to a thermal treatment in the presence of high boiling aromatics. The modified pitches may be used for the production of carbon articles of high value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A process for the production of modified pitches and low boiling aromatics and olefins by thermal treatment of polyolefin plastic wastes in the presence of high boiling aromatics, consisting essentially of thermally treating 10-80 parts by weight of comminuted wastes of polyolefins at temperature above the decomposition point of said polyolefins and at a pressure between 1 and 30 bar with 20-90 parts by weight of an aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures boiling above 300° C. selected from the group consisting of filtered anthracene oil and bituminous coal tar pitch, under an atmosphere of an inert gas, whereby olefins, benzene homologues as well as a reaction pitch are obtained after distillative separation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A process for the production of modified pitches and low boiling aromatics and olefins by thermal treatment of polyolefin plastic wastes in the presence of high boiling aromatics, consisting essentially of thermally treating 10-80 parts by weight of comminuted wastes of polyolefins at temperature above the decomposition point of said polyolefins and at a pressure between 1 and 30 bar with 20-90 parts by weight of an aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures boiling above 300° C. selected from the group consisting of filtered anthracene oil and bituminous coal tar pitch, under an atmosphere of an inert gas, whereby olefins, benzene homologues as well as a reaction pitch are obtained after distillative separation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein the polyolefin plastic wastes is polystyrene or foamed polystyrene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein the polyolefin plastic wastes are obtained by the polymerization of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process as in claim 1, wherein the thermal treatment between the comminuted polyolefin waste and the aromatic hydrocarbon mixture takes place at a temperature of from about 300° to about 450° C. for about 1 to 8 hours.
