Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of separating an inorganic material, the method comprising in the following order: a contact process of contacting a processing solution with a composite material, the composite material including a first organic substance that is decomposable by the processing solution, a second organic substance that is not decomposable by the processing solution, and an inorganic material; and a separation process of separating the inorganic material from the processing solution including a decomposition product of the first organic substance and the second organic substance, the contact process and the separation process including adjusting the processing solution to have a temperature that is equal to or greater than a softening point of the second organic substance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of separating an inorganic material, the method comprising in the following order: a contact process of contacting a processing solution with a composite material, the composite material including a first organic substance that is decomposable by the processing solution, a second organic substance that is not decomposable by the processing solution, and an inorganic material, the composite material comprising domains of the second organic substance dispersed in the first organic substance, the first organic substance comprising a resin including an ester bond, the second organic substance comprising a thermoplastic resin not including an ester bond; and a separation process of separating the inorganic material from the processing solution including the second organic substance and a decomposition product of the first organic substance, the contact process and the separation process including adjusting the processing solution to have a temperature that is equal to or greater than a softening point of the second organic substance. 2. The method of separating an inorganic material of claim 1 , further comprising recycling the inorganic material after separating the first organic substance and the second organic substance from the inorganic material. 3. The method of separating an inorganic material of claim 2 , further comprising, after the separation process, an additional contact process of contacting an additional processing solution with the inorganic material, and an additional separation process of separating the inorganic material from the additional processing solution. 4. The method of separating an inorganic material of claim 2 , wherein the inorganic material comprises a fibrous inorganic material. 5. The method of separating an inorganic material of claim 2 , wherein the processing solution includes an organic solvent and a decomposition catalyst. 6. The method of separating an inorganic material of claim 1 , wherein the second organic substance comprises polypropylene. 7. A method of producing a reprocessed material, the method comprising in the following order: a contact process of contacting a processing solution with a composite material, the composite material including a first organic substance that is decomposable by the processing solution, a second organic substance that is not decomposable by the processing solution, and an inorganic material, the composite material comprising domains of the second organic substance dispersed in the first organic substance, the first organic substance comprising a resin including an ester bond, the second organic substance comprising a thermoplastic resin not including an ester bond; and a separation process of separating, as a reprocessed material, the inorganic material from the processing solution including the second organic substance and a decomposition product of the first organic substance, the contact process and the separation process including adjusting the processing solution to have a temperature that is equal to or greater than a softening point of the second organic substance. 8. The method of producing a reprocessed material of claim 7 , further comprising recycling the inorganic material after separating the first organic substance and the second organic substance from the inorganic material. 9. The method of producing a reprocessed material of claim 8 , wherein the inorganic material comprises a fibrous inorganic material. 10. The method of producing a reprocessed material of claim 8 , wherein the processing solution includes an organic solvent and a decomposition catalyst.
