Abstract

Chemical recycling of waste plastics has been getting greater attention in recent years. We investigated the decomposition of polycarbonate (PC) using supercritical water to obtain bis-phenol A (BPA), raw material of polycarbonate, focusing on its significant variation of solvent properties. In addition, the decomposition of PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) alloy compound was also carried out to obtain bis-phenol A selectively from that alloy.
