Abstract

An improved method of recovering and recycling polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate from a mixed plastic waste stream involving dissolving the polystyrene in a dibasic organic acid ester solvent (e.g., a mixture of dimethyl adipate, dimethyl glutarate, and dimethyl succinate) at a temperature range of 0 °C to less than 160 °C without dissolving the polyethylene terephthalate and then after separating and recovering the polystyrene solution, dissolving the polyethylene terephthalate in the same solvent at a temperature range of from 160 °C to 225 °C. The polystyrene can be conveniently isolated from solution by evaporation of solvent while the polyethylene terephthalate can be isolated from solution by cooling and precipitation.
