Over 30 million ton of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is produced each year and no more than 60% all PET bottles are reclaimed for recycling due to material property deteriorations during the mechanical process. Herein, a sustainable approach proposed produce redox-active nanoparticles via chemical upcycling waste application in energy storage. Redox-active sizes lower 100 nm were prepared ...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, 2C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (2-)·4H(2)O, the terephthalate carboxyl-ate groups inter-acts with the 2-amino-4-methyl-pyridinium cations via a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif. The water mol-ecules form an R(6) (6)(12) ring motif through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and these motifs are fused, forming a supra-molecular chain al...

According to § 5 para 1 no. 1 of the German Act on Foods and Commodities (LMBG), mechanically recycled polyethylene terephthalate for food contact use must meet the same requirements as virgin PET as given in §§ 30 and 31 (1) of LMBG as well as those of the German Regulations on Commodities (Bedarfsgegenständeverordnung). No PET constituents are allowed to migrate into the food except they are ...
