Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method and a device for decomposing a polymer material and recycling thereof, in particular, a method and a device for decomposing a polymer material using a water plasma and recycling it . # [Prior Art] • The waste plastics are discharged from the world every year. The methods of transmission and processing are mostly in the landfill or incinerated as heat, and the recycling is extremely limited. ^ At present, the method of recycling waste plastics includes oiling by thermal decomposition, and the development of methods such as blast furnace and gasification are actively underway. However, due to the rapid growth of the production and recycling rate of 4 plastics, it is necessary to find a more efficient and economical and environmentally friendly recycling method. Classified by municipal waste, the general composition of waste plastics includes: 3P (PE, PP, pS) of general-purpose resin is about 77%, and the remaining gas-based resin (pVC, PVDC) is about 6 to 7%. The pet resin is about 8%, and the metal springs of the cleaning agent containers other than plastics or the containers, glass, sand and the like are about 8%. In recent years, although chlorine-based resins have gradually decreased, in addition to PET bottles, most of the plastic molded products use PET resin, which makes the recycling technology more complicated. In recent years, the method of using plasma to treat plastic waste (taking polymer materials as an example) has been widely studied and applied. Plasma treatment is a process that has high energy and can handle a variety of toxic wastes. The high temperatures generated by the use of plasma can be used in the treatment of hazardous waste. 5 called / 154 In the decomposition method of polymer materials, the decomposition of photolysis, thermal decomposition, chemical and physical treatment can be utilized. Further, the method which can achieve the above various decomposition effects can be achieved only by the decomposition of the plasma method. Denso technology is used to decompose polymer materials, and a large amount of ions are generated in the process. The active particles can borrow these free radicals, especially when using reactive plasmas with free radicals such as OH, hydrazine and zero in the processing environment. Base to promote the progress of chemical reactions. However, if these particles can be effectively controlled, the reaction can be expected to be various industrial materials with high added value and recycled. In the past, the plasma discharge power source used a 2.45 GHz microwave discharge (microwave Discharge) for steam electropolymerization (h2〇piasma, hereinafter referred to as hydroelectric polymerization), and decomposed polyethylene in the range of 1 · 6 torr (Torr). , PE) The material is re-synthesized into alcohol (Alcohol), acetaldehyde (Aldehyde), Keton and other industrial raw materials. 'Water vapor easily absorbs microwave energy, and the temperature can be automatically increased to above 1000 °K. It is extremely convenient to evaporate and decompose PE materials, and it can generate a large amount of active particles due to energy intensive, which is helpful for re-synthesis. At present, the synthetic substance is a raw material such as Methanol or Pentanol having a carbon atom of 1 to 5. In order to increase the selectivity of the synthetic material to enhance its added value, it is necessary to control the temperature in the plasma, that is, to greatly change the pressure range of the discharge (10_3 to 10 Torr) and to try to mix different gases in the water vapor. However, the volume of the plasma generated by the microwave discharge is not so large that the volume of the molecular material that can be processed is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method and apparatus for processing a large amount of polymer materials. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for decomposing 6 1327154 polymer materials. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for decomposing a polymeric material using a hydrous slurry.

The apparatus for decomposing a polymer material of the present invention may further comprise a recovery tank for recovering the gaseous recovered material after decomposition of the polymer material. The present invention can effectively convert and convert high-molecular materials into high-value-added raw materials, thereby reducing production costs, and not only helping to solve environmental problems, but also from the viewpoint of resource conservation.

The plasma generated by the power supply 40 in the cavity 20 and the water vapor can form a water plasma. In the embodiment of the present invention, the power supply 40 can provide a high-frequency 13.56 MHz discharge plasma or a 2.45 GHz microwave discharge plasma, but the invention is not limited thereto. After the water plasma located in the cavity 20 reacts with the polymer material 30, the polymer material 30 is decomposed to form a solid residual substance and a gaseous recovery substance. The nitrogen input end 25 is disposed at the upper end of the cavity 20, and nitrogen gas can be injected from the nitrogen input end 25 to cause the cavity 20 to be vacuumed to smoothly take out the solid residue treated by the water plasma. In addition, the recovery tank 50 is disposed at the upper end of the cavity 20, and liquid nitrogen can be introduced into the recovery tank 50 from the liquid nitrogen input end 26 to recover the gaseous recovered material after the high molecular material 30 is decomposed by the hydroelectric slurry. • The present invention also includes a spectral analyzer 45 that can be disposed outside of the cavity 20 for detecting the formation of the water plasma decomposing polymer material 30 in the cavity 20. Further, in addition to the above-described apparatus for decomposing the polymer material 30, the present invention provides a method of decomposing the polymer material 30 and recovering the gaseous recovered material produced by decomposing the material 30 by the water plasma. Please refer to FIG. 2 for a flow chart of the steps of the present invention. It should be noted here that the following examples illustrate the application of the disassembled polymer material of the present invention 9 1327154, and a high-frequency 13.56 MHz discharge plasma power supply and a 200 mg weight PE test piece. For example, the invention is not limited thereto. In the meantime, the materials, the sizes, the temperatures, the pressures, the various variables, and the like set forth in the following embodiments are exemplified, and the present invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 2, the method comprises the following steps: Step 101: Providing a polymer material in a cavity. First, before proceeding to step 101, a pellet sample of PE material is prepared in advance, and the material having a weight of 200 mg is weighed as a test piece by a precision φ. Then, the inside of the cavity 20 is wiped and cleaned with acetone. At this time, the cavity 20 which is wiped and cleaned will leave the volatilized gas of the acetone, so the cavity 20 is evacuated, and the residual gas inside the cavity 20 is cleaned. Then, the test piece is placed as shown in FIG. 1 and can be used as the electrode 22 under the test piece. Step 102: The chamber is evacuated. At this time, the cavity 20 is evacuated to a depth of 3.0 x 10 -5 Torr or less by the pump 51 (shown in Fig. 1) located at the upper end of the cavity 20. * Step 103: Provide a water vapor into the chamber. Next, water vapor is introduced into the interior of the chamber 20 by means of a water vapor input 24 (shown in Figure 1) connected to the chamber 20. Step 104: Adjust various variables in the cavity. In step 104, the chamber 20 is warmed to 150 ° C, and the pressure in the chamber 20 is adjusted to 1 Torr, and the flow rate of the water vapor is set to 60 cc / min, and the high frequency is charged. The decomposition experiment was carried out with the slurry power adjusted to 250 W. Step 105: Providing a plasma to react with the water vapor to form a hydroelectric 1327154 slurry discharge, causing the polymer material to be decomposed into a gaseous recovered material and a solid residual material. In the step 105, the present invention forms a water plasma by reacting one of the plasmas supplied from the power supply 40 with the water vapor in the cavity 20. When the water plasma is discharged, the test piece is decomposed into a powdery substance. Next, the powdery substance is heated to 450 °C by the heater 23, and after the powdery substance is vaporized, the water plasma is discharged, and the vaporized substance is decomposed to become a gaseous substance. φ Step 106: The gaseous substance is reacted with the water plasma to be decomposed into a gaseous recovered substance. Next, the gaseous substance is reacted with the water plasma - and the discharge is decomposed into a gaseous recovered substance. Among them, the gaseous recovery materials include acetone, decyl alcohol, ethanol and acetaldehyde. Further, in the above steps 105 to 106, the reaction time may be set to 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Step 107: recovering the gaseous recovered material. Next, the recovery tank 50 was charged with liquid nitrogen to recover the gaseous recovered matter after the decomposition of the test piece, and the analysis was carried out after the experiment. In the above steps 103 to 105, a spectral φ analyzer 45 can be used to simultaneously detect the water plasma in the cavity and the water plasma to decompose the test piece. Step 108: The chamber is evacuated by nitrogen gas to remove the solid residual material of the test piece. Next, nitrogen gas was poured from the nitrogen inlet port 25 to break the vacuum of the chamber 20, and it was confirmed whether or not the granular test piece was completely decomposed. Step 109: Detect the components of the gaseous recovered material. Next, the basic spectrum measured by the spectrum analyzer 45 is compared with the actually measured spectrum at the time of decomposition to confirm the progress of the decomposition and resynthesis reaction. The gaseous recovered material in the recovery tank 50 is measured by a GC-Mass instrument for detection of 1327154, and the composition and content of the gaseous recovered material are detected. Hereinafter, the results of the detection by the spectrum analyzer 45 and the MS-GC apparatus with respect to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. Please refer to Fig. 3 for the measured basic spectrum when the water vapor is in the cavity 20 but has not been placed in the test piece. The horizontal axis is the plasma wattage and the vertical axis is the spectral intensity. As shown in Fig. 3, the plasma applies energy to the gas to be excited and ionized. It can be found that the gas is ionized to generate H, 0 charged ions, and the higher the wattage φ, the measured H, 0 charged ion energy changes can be found. It also rises, but in addition to the large change in strontium ions, strontium ions change less. • Figure 4 shows the water vapor in the cavity 20 and the test piece placed in the cavity.
