Abstract

Process for the treatment of a material comprising a polymer, especially a polyamide. The process consists in subjecting the polyamide to hydrolysis in the presence of a hydrolyzing nitrous grouping and transforming the hydrolyzed compounds into diacids. The treatment of a polyamide 6.6 results in the recovery of adipic acid and other diacids corresponding to the participating acid monomer and to the transformation of at least one part of the diamine monomer into diacids.
