MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617075579 A) filed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. on June 18, 2026, for Reactor And Monomer Production System.
Inventors include Matsubara, Wataru; Seiki, Yoshio; Miyata, Yasuyuki; Genta, Minoru; and Ito, Motofumi.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present invention suppresses reduction in the yield of a monomer. A reactor according to the present invention depolymerizes a polyester upon introduction of the polyester and a reaction solvent that reacts with the polyester. The reactor has a reaction unit comprising: a circulation section having a plurality of first flow paths that extend from an introduction port through which is introduced a reaction solvent from which a first depolymerized polyester, which is a polyester that has been depolymerized, has been extracted, to a lead-out port from which is led out a reaction solvent from which a second depolymerized polyester, which is obtained by further depolymerizing the first depolymerized polyester, has been extracted; and a resistor that is provided at a position so as to cover the lead-out port of the circulation section and forms a second flow path through which the reaction solvent that flows through the first flow paths circulates. The resistor has a pressure loss higher than that of the circulation section.
