Abstract
ABSTRACTThe recycling of polystyrene wastes by precipitation from limonene solutions using CO2 as antisolvent is an alternative and original environmentally friendly route to recover high quality wastes. The most suitable working conditions to conduct the process are selected based on the accurate knowledge of the phase equilibrium for the ternary mixture. To maximize the recycling of polymeric wastes while the consumption of CO2 and limonene is minimized, high values of pressure (≥100 bar), low values of temperature (≤30°C) and moderated concentrations of polymer (≤0.4 g PS/ml limonene) are required.
