Abstract
The invention relates to a method for performing chemical processes, where raw materials are heated, wherein a melt pool is produced in a tank or reactor using low-melting metals or metal alloys, wherein the raw materials are metered directly into the melt pool in the lower part of the tank or reactor.
Claims3
A method for the depolymerisation of plastic material comprising the following steps:
- inductively heating low melting metals or metal alloys in a tank to form a metal melt pool, wherein a bottom temperature of the metal melt pool at a lower part of the tank is relatively lower than a top temperature of the metal melt pool at a higher part of the tank,
- metering plastic material directly into the metal melt pool in the lower part of the tank as solid materials, and
- heating the plastic material with the metal melt pool to produce the depolymerised plastic material, wherein the metal melt pool has a temperature between 50° C. and 550° C.
