ABSTRACT:
A process for cracking thermoplastic polymers to valuable products, primarily their monomers, comprising the following steps:
A. converting the polymer into a liquid or fluidized stage;
B. introducing the polymer from step (a) in droplet or particulate form into a reaction zone and admixing said polymer with a hot inert gas or mixture of hot inert gases in the reaction zone
Wherein the weight ratio of gas to polymer is about 1 to about 8 parts of gas per part of polymer; the temperature of the gas is such as to heat the polymer to a temperature in the range of about 800.degree.C. to about 1050.degree.C.; and the residence time in the reaction zone is about 10 to about 100 milliseconds; and
C. quenching the recovering product.
