| abstract |
This invention concerns a process for separating low density plastic fractions, particularly of a density under 1 g/cm<3>, in a process liquid, the density of which can be adjusted by mixing components of differing densities. The aim of the invention is economically acceptable separation of high quality fractions, particularly of PP and PE, under acceptable work and safety conditions. To that effect, the process is organized so that the process liquid is obtained by mixing components of differing densities which come from at least one of the following groups of synthetic esters: a) palmitate esters (average density of 0.86 g/cm<3>), b) esters of a fatty acid mix (average density of 0.88 g/cm<3>), c) fatty acid methyl esters (average density of 0.93 g/cm<3>), d) dicarboxylic acid esters (average density of 0.96 g/cm<3>). |
