Abstract: A dissolution apparatus configured to dissolve a waste resin in a dissolution tank with a solvent. The dissolution apparatus includes: a supply device configured to supply the waste resin and the solvent into the dissolution tank; a heating device configured to heat the waste resin and the solvent supplied to the dissolution tank; a stirrer configured to stir the waste resin and the solvent, heated by the heating device; a torque sensor configured to detect a load torque acting on the stirrer; and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform: calculating a viscosity of a solution of the waste resin and the solvent based on the load torque detected by the torque sensor, and controlling at least one of the supply device and the heating device such that the viscosity calculated in the calculating becomes less than a predetermined value.

Abstract: There are provided processes for recycling polystyrene waste. The processes can comprise dissolving said polystyrene waste in ethylbenzene under conditions to obtain a polystyrene/ethylbenzene mixture, adding the polystyrene/ethyl benzene mixture to a hydrocarbon polystyrene non-solvent under conditions to obtain precipitated polystyrene and washing the precipitated polystyrene with additional portions of hydrocarbon polystyrene non-solvent under conditions to obtain twice-washed polystyrene. The twice-washed polystyrene can optionally be dried and formed into polystyrene pellets. There is also provided recycled polystyrene obtained from such processes for recycling polystyrene waste.

Abstract: An infilled artificial turf surface [18] includes a particulate infill [24] with at least a top layer [28] that comprises a mixture of Black walnut shell particles [30] and English walnut shell particles [32], the walnut shell particles [30, 32] having been treated so as to eliminate or substantially remove tree nut allergens that are known to activate allergies in some humans. Preferably, treatment occurs via heat treatment in a rotary furnace, which also rounds and smoothes the particles [30, 32]. Particularly if used in the top layer [28] of a particulate infill [24] of an artificial turf surface [18], the shape and size and proportion of the Black walnut shell particles [30] and the English walnut shell particles [32] provide stability for the resulting turf surface [18], while also being able to absorb water applied thereto, thereby to hold moisture and to provide evaporative cooling of the artificial turf surface [18] for up to about five hours.

Abstract: A method for purifying a contaminated reclaimed polyethylene is provided. The method comprises obtaining the contaminated reclaimed polyethylene, extracting it with a solvent to produce an extracted contaminated reclaimed polyethylene, and then dissolving it in the solvent to produce a first suspension comprising dissolved polyethylene and suspended contaminants. The first suspension is settled to produce a second suspension comprising dissolved polyethylene and suspended remaining contaminants, and the second suspension is purified by contacting it with solid media to produce a third suspension comprising purer polyethylene. Finally, the purer polyethylene is separated from the third suspension and it has virgin-like optical properties.

Abstract: Provided is a method of recycling a waste resin composition containing a synthetic resin and organic impurities. A method of manufacturing a dihydroxy compound from a waste resin composition, the method including, a step (a1) in which an alkaline solution containing a first solvent, water, and a waste resin composition containing a resin having at least two constitutional units selected from the group consisting of general formulae (1) to (4) set forth below: is treated to give a reaction solution containing a first solvent and a mixture of dihydroxy compounds containing a first dihydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of general formulae (1′) to (4′) set forth below: and at least one other dihydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of the general formulae (1′) to (4′); and a step (b1) in which the first dihydroxy compound is crystallized from a crystallization solution obtained by adding a second solvent to the reaction solution, wherein a difference between the solubility of the first dihydroxy compound at 25° C. in the second solvent and the solubility of the other dihydroxy compound at 25° C. in the second solvent (solubility of the other dihydroxy compound minus solubility of the first dihydroxy compound) is greater than or equal to 0.1 g/(10 mL).
