Abstract

The implementation of non-absorbent polymers thermal destruction initiated by indirect heating in an intense electromagnetic microwave field using carbon thermal conversion elements is considered. Results of theoretical analysis based on mathematical modeling and experimental investigation into depolymerization of the polymer are analyzed. Polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate are the investigated polymers; their destruction products are styrene and methyl methacrylate.
