Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for recovering ethylene and a vinyl-comonomer that is capable of improving the rate of recovery of unreacted monomers remaining after polymerization of ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer and increasing process efficiency through the reduction of costs. Specifically, the method for recovering ethylene and a vinyl-comonomer includes: a step of polymerizing ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer at a pressure of 1500 bar or more; a step of depressurizing the product obtained in the polymerization step including an ethylene-vinyl-based comonomer polymer, ethylene, and a vinyl-based comonomer to 0.1 bar to 5 bar; a step of adding ethylene to the product obtained in the polymerization step under the pressure of 0.1 bar to 5 bar; and a step of separating ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer from the product obtained in the polymerization step to which the ethylene is added.
