5. Waste solvolysis process
The decomposition of waste can be achieved by immersion in a solvent, known as solvolysis. This can be used, for example, to depolymerize plastic compounds or devulcanize latex... The solvent acts as a heat carrier, chain transfer agent and solvent for the products obtained.
Cellulosic compounds are solvolysed at room temperature, in aqueous solutions containing concentrated mineral acids (HCl, HNO 3 , H 3 PO 4 ...) or strong bases (LiOH, NaOH...), as well as in organic solvents (Dimethylformamide DMF, Dimethylsulfoxide DMSO), in combination with an inorganic reagent (SO 2 , N 2 O 4 ...). The...
