Abstract
Depolymerization of polycarbonate waste by glycolysis using ethylene glycol without catalyst was explored in order to get the monomer bisphenol A (BPA). The depolymerized products were identified by GC/MS and FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of operation variables such as reaction time, reaction temperature, ethylene glycol/polycarbonate (EG/PC) weight ratio, and the kinetics of glycolysis were studied. A maximum yield of BPA of 95.6% was achieved at a reaction temperature of 220 °C for 85 min with an EG/PC weight ratio 4. It was found that the depolymerization reaction has two different activation energies, indicating that the reaction occurs in series. A new model was proposed to explain the depolymerization reaction which consists of a series of reactions: random scission from high molecular weight PC to its solid oligomer, dissolution from the solid oligomer to liquid oligomer, and homogeneous degradation from the liquid oligomer to its monomer, BPA. The activation energies were found to be 98.9 kJ/mol ...
