Abstract

This invention relates to a process for removing foreign materials from a post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate feed stream which comprises: (1) depolymerizing the polyethylene terephthalate feed stream into a melt having a melt viscosity which is within the range of 0.001 poise to 1000 poise (2) feeding the melt into a separation device, (3) allowing low density foreign ma-terials to float to the surface of the melt, (4) allowing high density foreign materials to sink to the bottom of the melt, and (5) rem-oving molten polyethylene terephthalate oligomer from an area which is located intermediately between the surface of the melt and the bottom of the melt.
