A new recycling technique has been developed which uses a natural solvent, d limonene, to shrink expanded polystyrene (EPS). d-Limonene is a natural vegetable oil which is extracted from the rinds of citrus fruits and is a good solvent of EPS. Limonene has almost the same solubility as toluene at ro

A new system of recycling expanded polystyrene has been developed which uses limonene orange oil as a solvent to recycle high grade polystyrene. Life cycle assessment was applied to this system to simulate its effect on the environment. It is shown that the new system has a lower greenhouse effect (
A prototype production system for recycling expanded polystyrene (EPS), which uses an orange oil, d-limonene, as the EPS shrinking agent, has been developed. This system consists of an apparatus to dissolve EPS and a recycling plant to separate the limonene solution. The recycling plant can mass rep
