Polyurethane foam decomposition device and polyurethane foam decomposition method

Abstract

A decomposition device (20) for decomposing a polyurethane foam (11) includes a container (30) for containing the polyurethane foam (11) and a decomposer (13), a pressing part (21) for pressing the polyurethane foam (11) in the container (30), and a heating part (23) for heating an inside of the container (30). The container (30) includes a retaining part (31) for retaining a liquid material (10) containing a decomposed material of the polyurethane foam (11) and the decomposer (13). The pressing part (21) is configured to press the polyurethane foam (11) downward to push the polyurethane foam (11) into the liquid material (10) in the retaining part (31).
