چکیده

This study reviews the problems in the use and disposal of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and includes the concise background of virgin and recycled PET as well as their possible applications. The current state of knowledge with respect to PET recycling method is presented. Recycling of PET is the most desirable method for waste management, providing an opportunity for reductions in oil usage, carbon dioxide emissions and PET waste requiring disposal because of its non-degradability. Advanced technologies and systems for reducing contamination, mechanical and chemical recycling, and their applications are discussed, and the possibility of diverting the majority of PET waste from landfills or incineration to recycling is suggested.

The Glycolysis of Poly (ethylene terephthalate) Waste:Recovery of Terephthalic Acid by Magnetic FeO@APTS Nanoparticle

In this research, the chemical recycling of terephthalic acid from PET waste by using nano Fe3O4@Py-APTS as solid support was reported. The performance of organically modified nano magnetic was examined in detail and the results were compared with unsupported reactions as the model. By using the solid support, the required time for complete glycolysis, consumption of solvent and catalyst, decre...

Development of an efficient route for combined recycling of PET and cotton from mixed fabrics

Most textile waste is either incinerated or landfilled today, yet, the material could instead be recycled through chemical recycling to new high-quality textiles. A first important step is separation since chemical recycling of textiles requires pure streams. The focus of this paper is on the separation of cotton and PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate), polyester) from mixed textiles, so called p...

Synergistic chemo‐enzymatic hydrolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) from textile waste

Due to the rising global environment protection awareness, recycling strategies that comply with the circular economy principles are needed. Polyesters are among the most used materials in the textile industry; therefore, achieving a complete poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) hydrolysis in an environmentally friendly way is a current challenge. In this work, a chemo-enzymatic treatment was dev...
