Abstract

See full text

A process for recovering monomer from multi-component waste material that includes a hydrolyzable polymer, the process including contacting the multi-component waste material with water and subjecting the resulting mixture to heat and pressure to form a liquid aqueous portion which mainly includes depolymerization products of the hydrolyzable polymer and a water insoluble portion which mainly includes components other than the depolymerization products; separating the liquid aqueous portion and the water insoluble portion; subjecting the separated aqueous portion to a pressure that is lower than that of step (a) and heat to produce a residue and a distillate which contains monomer; and separating the monomer in the distillate from other components in the distillate. The process is particularly useful for recovering caprolactam from waste materials that include nylon 6.
