Abstract

A method for recovering polyol from a polyurethane comprises dissolving the polyurethane in a specific aliphatic diol and heating the dissolved polyurethane in the presence of a halogenated ester of phosphoric acid to recover the polyisocyanate used for the production of the polyurethane as a solid form and the polyol used for the production of the polyurethane together with the polyol having urethane bond formed by reaction with the aliphatic diol as a liquid.
