A NEW ROUTE TO RECOVER BISPHENOL A AND DIMETHYL CARBONATE FROM WASTE APOLYCARBONATE IN IONIC LIQUIDS
An new strategy for methanolysis of polycarbonate (PC) to recover bisphenol A(BPA) and dimethyl carbonate(DMC) was studied in which PC could be methanolyzed in ionic liquid l-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride(BmimCl) without any acid or base catalyst under moderate conditions. Under the conditions of m(PC):m (BmimCl):m(CH3OH)=l:l:1.5, reaction time 2.5h and temperature 105癈, the methanolysis conversion of PC was almost 100% and the yields of both BPA and DMC were over 95%. After easily separated from the product, the ionic liquid could be reused 8 times without obvious decrease in the conversion of PC and yields of BPA and DMC. The strategy can overcome the disadvantages existed in traditional methods such as unfeasible reuse of catalyst, tedious workup procedure and environmental problem.
