Abstract:

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, decreased up 95 %, 37.5 % and 30 % respectively. Results showed that nano Fe3O4@Py-APTS delivered good performance as the reagent as well as the solid support in depolymerizing of PET to the terephthalic acid.

Melt Glycolysis of Poly(ethylene Terephthalate) Using Co2-assisted Extrusion

A single-step, extrusion-based process to depolymerize poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is being investigated. The depolymeriza tion is effected by reacting ethylene glycol (EG) with the high molecular weight polymer (glycolysis). The ethylene glycol causes chain scission by attacking the ester linkages along the polymer backbone. The objective is to recover purified low molecular weight olig...

Modification of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) Fiber by Grafting of Acrylic Acid/Acrylamid for Removel of Pb+2 from Aqueous Solutions

: A new fibrous adsorbent was prepared by grafting Acrylic Acid /Acryl Amide (AA/AAm) co-monomers onto Poly(Ethylene Terephtalat) (PET) fibers. The resulting sorbent has been characterized by Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and ...

Compatibilization of polycarbonate/poly (ethylene terephthalate) blends by addition of their transesterification product

In this study, poly carbonate (PC) and poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were reactive melt-blended under two different conditions to produce PC/PET copolymers. For each condition, samples were taken at specified mixing times representative a specific structure of copolymers and each one employed to physically compatibilize a PC/PET blend with a fixed composition. Reactive blending and copoly...

The Glycolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Waste: Lewis Acidic Ionic Liquids as High Efficient Catalysts

Poly(ethlyene terephthalate) waste from a local market was depolymerized by ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of Lewis acidic ionic liquids [Bmim]ZnCl3 and the qualitative analysis showed that bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate was the main product. Compared with ionic liquid [Bmim]Cl, the Lewis acidic ionic liquids showed highly catalytic activity in the glycolysis of poly(ethylene terephthala...
