Depolymerization of PMMA-based Dental Resin Scraps in Dif-ferent Production Scales
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examines how waste dental PMMA (a common plastic) can be broken down via pyrolysis to recover methyl methacrylate monomer, with viable yields across laboratory and pilot scales at temperatures below 450°C. The work contributes to chemical recycling strategies for plastic waste, important for reducing the volume of plastics that ultimately fragment into microplastics in the environment.

Researchers investigated microplastic contamination in urban drainage canals of an Amazonian capital city, assessing particle distribution and abundance in a region with rapid urban growth and limited solid waste infrastructure. The dissertation documents microplastic presence as a consequence of inadequate waste management in tropical urban waterways.
Process Analysis of PMMA Dental Waste Depolymerization in Semi-Batch Reactors
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the pyrolysis of PMMA dental waste in semi-batch reactors to recover the valuable monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA), finding that lower temperatures (around 425°C) and controlled heating rates maximize MMA yield, while higher temperatures and larger reactor scales increase thermal cracking and reduce monomer purity.
Process Analysis of PMMA Dental Waste Depolymerization in Semi-Batch Reactors
AI summary Read the abstract
This study analyzes the thermal depolymerization of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) from dental waste, examining process parameters and efficiency for recovering monomer feedstock. Dental PMMA represents a significant waste stream, and depolymerization offers a route to circular material recovery. The findings provide process insights relevant to scaling up recycling of this specialized plastic waste.
