Latest Patent Applications
Mike De Lange has submitted a patent application titled "A Method to Enable Recycling of Polyester Waste Material and a System for Applying the Method." This application describes a process for recycling polyester waste material through depolymerisation by alcoholysis. The method involves two consecutive stages of depolymerisation. In the first stage, polyester waste material is continuously fed to an extruder operated at a temperature above the polyester melting temperature, along with a first amount of alcohol. This produces a fluid mixture that includes a melt of the at least partly depolymerised polyester. In the second stage, this fluid mixture is fed to a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) operated at a similar temperature, while a second amount of alcohol is co-fed. The residence time in the CSTR allows for the continuous output of polyester depolymerised into an oligomeric ester.
Conclusion
Mike De Lange's innovative approach to recycling polyester waste material showcases his commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. His contributions to the field, although not yet patented, hold promise for future advancements in recycling technologies.
