Popis:	The degradation of low-density polyethylene in the presence of water as the degradative agent was studied at a temperature of 450°C and a pressure greater than 160 atm. The experimental work was conducted in an autoclave of 333-mL capacity. The products (gases, liquids, and solids) were analyzed by microanalytical methods and GC-spectroscopic techniques. The results indicate the presence of paraffins, olefines, dienes, and aromatics in the degradation products. The occurrence of aromatics in the products demonstrates the importance of this degradation procedure for obtaining these valuable materials. The present work (Part 1) is believed to be the first publication to discuss the production of aromatics from polyethylenes degradation.
