Patent ID: 7892500

Claim:
A system for recycling plastics, comprising in combination: a reactor means for accepting plastic materials, for storing the accepted plastic materials in a reaction fluid stored therein to form a slurry, for adding a pre-determined catalyst to the slurry, for applying a slight vacuum to form a closed system within the reactor means, for heating the slurry to a pre-determined temperature for a pre-determined time, thereby breaking down the plastics material into a plurality of components including one or more gaseous components and one or more liquid distillate components depending on the pre-determined catalyst used and the original chemicals used to create the accepted plastic materials; a metal oxide scrubber means with a metal oxide for removing sulfur from the one or more liquid distillate components with the metal oxide including a copper oxide; a gas collection means for collecting the one more gaseous components created by the reactor means including a plurality of gas collection components each for collecting and storing a distinct type of gas based on its chemical and physical properties; and a liquid collection means for collecting the one or more liquid distillate components created by the reactor means.
