POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) PYROLYSIS BY TWO FLUIDIZED BED PROCESS
PMMA was continuously pyrolyzed by our new process consisting of pyrolyzer and regenerator and crude MMA of purity 94-95% was recovered with a yield 95%. Transparent MMA of purity 99.8% was obtained by distillation of the crude MMA. The characteristics of this process are 1) PMMA is pyrolyzed by sensible heat of circulating sand between the two fluidized beds, 2) residual oil of distillation is used as a fuel at regenerator where sand is heated up and soot derived from PMMA is incinerated, 3) at pyrolyzer, nitrogen is used as fluidization gas which is separated from pyrolysis product and reused. This process was successfully scaled up from bench plant(15kg/hr) to demonstration plant(300kg/hr). In comparison with MMA synthesis by natural resources, MMA production by PMMA pyrolysis can reduce energy usage.
