PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ETHENE FROM CITRUS FRUIT PROCESSING WASTE, THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS AND PLASTIC ARTICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to an integrated process for producing rigid and flexible packaging, such as bottles and bags, from citrus fruit skin, pomace and segments, comprising a step of hydrolysis, a first step of removing essential oils, a step of fermentation, a step of separating out and purifying the hydrous ethanol comprising a second removal of essential oils and a step of catalytic dehydration for producing the ethene. The ethene produced can be used for producing polymers such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate, which are used for producing packaging.
