    摘要: A system for continuously treating recycled polystyrene material includes a hopper/densifier configured to feed recycled polystyrene material into the system. An extruder can turn the recycled polystyrene material into a molten material. In some embodiments, the extruder uses thermal fluids, electric heaters, and/or a separate heater. Solvents, such as toluene, xylenes, cymenes, and/or terpinenes can aid in generating the molten material. The molten material can be depolymerized in a reactor and a catalyst can be used to aid the depolymerizing. In certain embodiments, the catalyst is contained in a permeable container. In some embodiments, copolymers/monomers are grafted onto the depolymerized material. The depolymerized molten material can be cooled via a heat exchanger. The product can be isolated by extraction, distillation, and/or separation. In some embodiments, the product is treated through filtration and absorption media. In some embodiments, multiple reactors are used.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a method for producing low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene containing less C6-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids or salts thereof. The method for producing low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene includes: (1) irradiating high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene to provide low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene having a melt viscosity of 1.0×102 to 7.0×105 Pa·s at 380° C.; and (2) irradiating the low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene to a dose that does not decompose the low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene.
