Ethylene oligomers process development

A two-step methanolysis-hydrolysis process37 has been developed which involves reaction of PET with superheated methanol vapors at 240-260°C and atmospheric pressure to produce dimethyl terephthalate, monomethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol, and oligomeric products in the first step. The methanolysis products are fractionally distilled and the remaining residue (oligomers) is subjected to hydrolysis after being fed into the hydrolysis reactor operating at a temperature of ca. 270°C. The TPA precipitates from the aqueous phase while impurities are left behind in the mother liquor. Methanolysis-hydrolysis leads to decreases in the time required for the depolymerization process compared to neutral hydrolysis for example, a neutral hydrolysis process that requires 45 min to produce the monomers is reduced... [Pg.549]
