PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE FROM SOLVENT CONTAINING WASTE PASTES

摘要

Reuseable polyvinyl chloride is recovered from solvent-loaded waste polyvinyl chloride paste by adding one twentieth of the paste weight of an acyl polyethylene glycol ester, then adding about twice the paste weight of water, while stirring, driving off the solvent by steam distillation, separating the solvent from the resulting two-phase distillate, and filtering off and drying the polyvinyl chloride granules floating in water left behind in the distillation residue.
