Re Annelotech and Anne Gaffney: At ARCO, Anne developed a patented fluidized bed process using zeolite catalysts to convert mixed plastic waste to basic chemicals. is.gd This invention relates to methods whereby thermoset polymers such as those recoverable as waste components may be converted into volatile lower molecular weight compounds useful as chemical intermediates, solvents, or fuels. The invention also pertains to methods whereby fillers such as glass fibers or inorganic powders are recovered in reuseable form from filled thermoset polymers. Applicant(s): ARCO CHEM TECH Publication date: 1993-03-09 [Patent expires in 20 years = 2013] is.gd I do hope this isn't the archival wonder find from the resident genius. Annelotech looks great insofar as they treat cellulosic fiber from forest production - the future for biomass conversion I hear. VIDEO: anellotech.com
