IV. CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
VEGA project No 1/3587/06 Alternative feedstocks in hydrocarbon technologies in the
production of ecological fuels and petrochemicals (Martin Bajus)
The subject of the scientific project was the study of reaction kinetics of the thermal and catalytic transformations
of the alternative feedstocks over heterogeneous catalysts in hydrocarbon technologies by chemical recycling of
waste polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) to desired alkenes; pyrolysis of used tyres; the utilization of
glycerol as an alternative feedstock of biogenic origin by etherification with C 4 -fraction to ethers of glycerol
suitable as oxygenate additives to diesel fuel.
Project duration: from 01. 01. 2006 to 31. 12. 2008
APVV Project No. 20-036705 The use of waste polymer and oil materials in production of
bitumen (Pavol Daučík)
The project deals with using of waste polymers, waste rubber as modificators along with waste oil in asfalt
compositions. The aim is to find correlation between composition and use properties of system asphalt - polymer
- waste oil. Based on study of polymer and waste rubber` structure's influence on properties of modified asphalts,
the possibility of industrial use of waste polymers and rubber will be assesed. The possibility of mixinf of waste
materials with fresh SBS and EVA copolymers in production of asphalt. Study of possible use of waste oil is
focused on production of fluxing agents, used in production of blown asphalts. Most modern separation (LC,
GPC), spectral (NMR, IR) and thermal (DSC) methods along with rheological testing will be deployed for
characterization of asphalt, polymer and waste's composition.
Project duration: from: 01.03. 2006 to 31. 12. 2008
VEGA project No 1/3575/06 Possibilities of treatment of liquid and solid hydrocarbon wastes
in catalytic cracking processes of petroleum fractions treatment – fluid catalytic cracking and
hydrocracking to fuels. Modification and characterization of zeolites and zeolite catalysts for
these processes (Assoc. Prof. Agáta Smiešková PhD.)
The project deals with the study of the treatment of liquid and solid waste hydrocarbons – waste oils and plastics
– in catalytic cracking processes of treatment of petroleum fractions: fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking
mainly to fraction of motor fuels – gasoline and diesel fuel. The work comprises modification and characterization
of zeolites and zeolite catalysts for hydrocracking (HC) and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), treatment of liquid and
solid waste hydrocarbons to fraction suitable for above-mentioned catalytic processes, laboratory catalytic tests
FCC (MAT – Micro-Activity Test according to ASTM standard) and HC (laboratory flow pressure reactor) with
industrial feeds additivated with treated waste hydrocarbon fractions in suitable ratio, as well as developing of
methods to evaluate properties of prepared motor fuels.
Project duration: from 01. 01. 2006 to 31. 12. 2008
