Catalytic strategies for upvaluing plastic wastes

(Chem 8, 1–12, November 10, 2022) In the originally published version of this article, chemical formula shown above label “alanine” in Equation 3 unfortunately depicted lactic acid instead alanine. The correct equation appears below and online, authors apologize for any confusion error may have caused.(Equation 3, corrected) (Equation original) Catalytic strategies upvaluing plastic wastesZhang et al.ChemSeptember 7, 2022In BriefIn perspective, we illustrate that polymers can be depolymerized transformed into high-value chemicals through three strategies: (1) depolymerization monomers, oligomers, or other derivatives, followed by transformation chemicals; (2) degradation to small platform molecules (e.g., CO2, CH4, formic acid, methanol) upgradation; (3) direct chemicals. New possibilities future development catalytic upcycling using wastes as raw materials been discussed. Full-Text PDF
