PROCESS FOR PROCESSING USED OR WASTE PLASTIC MATERIAL

摘要

A process is disclosed for processing used or waste plastic materials in order to recover chemical raw materials and liquid fuel components by depolymerisation of the used materials, which are transformed into a pumpable and into a volatile phase. The volatile phase is separated into a gaseous phase and a condensate or condensable depolymerisation product, which are refined by standard usual procedures. The pumpable phase remaining once the volatile phase is separated is subjected to liquid phase hy drogenation, gasification, low temperature carbonisation or to a combination of said processes.
