Abstract
To dispose of high-polymer, chlorine-containing plastics, such as PVC, without liberating hydrochloric acid in the atmosphere, the material is placed in a closed vessel and contacted with super-heated steam to split off gaseous hydrochloric acid; the resulting mixture of water vapor, steam and hydrochloric acid is removed, cooled and condensed, so that hydrochloric acid can be derived therefrom; the residue of the material after the hydrochloric acid has been removed can then be safely incinerated with other refuse, etc.
