Depolymerization of Polystyrene


so i looked at this page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depolymerization
here we got some information about this
the simplest way of doing so i guess
would be taking one of these reaction vessel
http://www.ebay.com/itm/100mL-3Mpa-400-deg-C-SUS316L-Hydroth...

they can run at the same temperatue were Polystyrene decompose back into styrene

blend the polystyrene add some water so the water take the place of the air
that is in the reaction vessel
and heat the hell out of the reaction vessel for an hour i guess
stopping the heating, lets it cool down to room temp, look into the vessel to see if there any liquid that look like styrene
sound good ?

Perhaps you should look to see if anyone else has tried depolymerizing styrene. If you do, you will find a number of resources on the subject including a video detailing the process made by a member of this forum.

I have a writeup in prepublication that I think should be quite sufficient.
