The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present invention appropriately produces a monomer. This monomer production system comprises: a dissolution unit into which a polyester starting material that contains a polyester is introduced and in which a polyester solution that has the polyester dissolved therein is retained; a reaction unit into which the polyester solution and a reaction solvent that reacts with the polyester are introduced so as to depolymerize the polyester in the polyester solution, thereby generating a reaction solvent in which the depolymerized polyester is dissolved; a separation unit that separates the reaction solvent, in which the depolymerized polyester has been dissolved, into a monomer and the reaction solvent; a detection unit that detects a parameter relating to the concentration of the monomer that is contained in the reaction solvent in which the depolymerized polyester is dissolved; and a control unit that controls the amount of the polyester starting material to be introduced into the dissolution unit on the basis of the parameter.
