Reaction of model compounds of phenol resin and molding materials of phenol resin in supercritical water for chemical recycling of polymer waste

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1998.937

Oxygen supply reaction by supercritical water (SCW) to diphenylmethane was confirmed by the production of benzophenone. Molding materials of phenol resin were decomposed into their monomers by the reaction in SCW and addition of polycarbonate accelerated the decomposition reaction of molding material.
