  • Patent number: 6653410
    Abstract: Disclosed is a treating method of a resin composition comprising: kneading a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin, 0 to 0.7 part by weight, based on 1 part by weight of the thermoplastic resin, of a treating agent having a capacity of hydrogenating a halogen and a halide, at 280 to 450° C., in the presence of a metal compound which combines with a halogen atom to generate a metal halide compound having a boiling point or sublimation point not greater than 450° C. at atmospheric pressure, to thereby convert the halide into a metal halide; and separating and collecting, from the resin composition, each of a mixture of the thermoplastic resin and the treating agent having a capacity of hydrogenating a halogen, and the metal halide. This makes it possible to treat a waste without conducting gasification or liquefaction of a resin by combustion or thermal decomposition, thereby removing and collecting the halogen such as bromine and the metal oxide therefrom in a high yield in a short time.
