  This work aims to investigate the influence of temperature on the recovery and purity of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) by depolymerization of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) dental resins scraps. The experiments were carried out at 350˚C, 400˚C, and 450˚C, 1.0 atm. in laboratory scale, using a borosilicate glass reactor of 125 mL. The density, kinematic viscosity, acidity and refractive index of liquid products were determined experimentally. The chemical compositions of liquid products were determined by GC- MS. The experiments show liquid phase yields between 48.76% and 94.74% (wt.), showing a 1st order exponential growth behavior, increasing with increasing temperature, while that of solid phase (coke) varied between 0.68% and 38.83% (wt.), showing a 1st order exponential decay behavior, decreasing as the temperature increases. The measure liq.. View more»
