  • Patent number: 8669394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for decomposing and recovering an isocyanate compound, which comprises: continuously mixing and dispersing into water at high pressure and high temperature an isocyanate compound having at least one isocyanate group or group derived from an isocyanate group in a molten state or solution state, supplying a liquid mixture containing the isocyanate compound and the water at high pressure and high temperature continuously to a reactor, followed by subjecting the isocyanate compound to a decomposition reaction in the reactor, and recovering a raw material for the isocyanate compound or a derivative thereof; and an apparatus for decomposing and recovering an isocyanate compound, which comprises: a reactor which brings water at high pressure and high temperature into contact with an isocyanate compound having at least one isocyanate group or group derived from an isocyanate group to cause a decomposition reaction, a water supply line which continuously supplies the water at

  • Patent number: 6660236
    Abstract: Apparatus for decomposing a polyurethane resin and recovering the decomposed polyurethane resin as a polyamine compound and a polyol compound. The apparatus includes a first reactor that decomposes the polyurethane resin as the target compound of hydrolysis decomposition; a second reactor that hydrolyzes the decomposed target compound of decomposition with either one of supercritical water and high-temperature high-pressure water to a decomposition product mixture; a water supplier that feeds either one of supercritical water and high-temperature high-pressure water to the second reactor; and a post-processor that causes the decomposition product mixture discharged from the second reactor to be subjected to a post treatment procedure, such as dehydration, addition, distillation, separation, and liquid separation to recover the polyamine compound and the polyol compound.
