  • Publication number: 20240336761
    Abstract: A method and reactor system for depolymerizing a polymer is described. The method comprises the steps of providing the polymer and a solvent in a reactor to obtain a reaction mixture, the solvent being capable of reacting with the polymer to degrade the polymer into at least repeating units; providing a reusable catalyst in the reaction mixture being capable of catalyzing said degradation; degrading the polymer in the reaction mixture at degradation reaction conditions to obtain a depolymerized mixture comprising at least light oligomers having from 2 to 4 repeating units inclusively; removing unreacted polymer, solid particles and optionally very heavy oligomers from the depolymerized mixture after exiting the reactor; recovering at least a part of the reusable catalyst from the depolymerized mixture; and recovering the light oligomers from the depolymerized mixture. During recovery of the reusable catalyst, the depolymerized mixture comprises heavy oligomers having at least 5 repeating units.

  • Publication number: 20240182664
    Abstract: A continuous method for depolymerizing polycaprolactam waste into caprolactam is described. In the method, a melt of the polycaprolactam waste and an inert gas are fed to a reactor in a continuous manner. Water and an aromatic hydrocarbon are also fed to the reactor and the polycaprolactam waste is contacted with superheated steam of the water/hydrocarbon mixture at a temperature of between 260° C. and 300° C. and at a gauge pressure from 1 barg to 70 barg. Turbulent mixing conditions are created in the reactor, and a caprolactam-containing vapor stream is created in the reactor which exits the reactor at an outlet. The caprolactam is separated from the exited caprolactam-containing vapor stream by partial condensation, and collected. A reactor system for carrying out the method is also described.

  • Patent number: 11379227
    Abstract: Embodiments promote searcher productivity and efficient search engine usage by using extraquery context to detect a searcher's intent, and using detected intent to match searches to well-suited search providers. Extraquery context may include cursor location, open files, and other editing information, tool state, tool configuration or environment, project metadata, and other information external to actual search query text. Search intent may be code (seeking snippets) or non-code (seeking documentation), and sub-intents may be distinguished for different kinds of documentation or different programming languages. Search provider capabilities may reflect input formats such as natural language or logical operator usage, or content scope such as web-wide or local, or other search provider technical characteristics.
