  • Publication number: 20240287275
    Abstract: A method for purifying a reclaimed polymer to a purer polymer is disclosed. In embodiments of the present invention, the method involves obtaining a reclaimed polymer, leaching various contaminants with a leaching solvent producing a leached polymer, and then dissolving the leached polymer in a solvent to produce a first solution comprising the dissolved polymer. The first solution is settled, filtered, and extracted. A purer polymer is separated from the resulting solution.

  • Publication number: 20240092992
    Abstract: A method for purifying a reclaimed polymer to a purer polymer is disclosed. In embodiments of the present invention, the method involves obtaining a reclaimed polymer, leaching various contaminants with a leaching solvent producing a leached polymer, extracting the leached polymer with a first fluid solvent to produce an extracted polymer, and then dissolving the extracted polymer in a solvent to produce a first solution comprising the dissolved polymer. The first solution is settled and then filtered. A purer polymer is separated from the resulting solution.
