Abstract
The efficiency and sustainability for the recycling of plastic wastes into hydrogen was investigated. An integrated microwave-driven valorization of plastic wastes and CO2 for H2 and CO production was proposed. Specifically, plastic wastes were decomposed into H2 and solid carbons, followed by carbon elimination via CO2 gasification under microwave irradiation. Through the high-throughput screen of catalysts as well as the optimization of key parameters, over 96% hydrogen was converted into H2 with a yield of 480 mmol∙g−1Hplastic while the carbon conversion and CO2 conversion reached up to 70% and 53%. The five-cycle successive test displayed extraordinarily high and stable catalytic activity due to the facile elimination of carbon deposition. The application for real-world plastic wastes further demonstrated the efficient microwave-driven CO2 gasification of plastic wastes into H2 and CO production as a feasible and sustainable technology toward the waste-to-energy circular economy.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (formerly Applied Catalysis B: Environmental) is a journal that focuses on the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The journal's publications cover a wide range of topics, including:
1.Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources.
2.Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, particularly in industrial processes.
3.All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation, and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts.
4.New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
5.Catalytic reactions that convert wastes into useful products.
6.Clean manufacturing techniques that replace toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts.
7.Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and a basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems.
8.New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts.
9.New catalytic non-enzymatic transformations of biomass components.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in API Abstracts, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, Web of Science, Theoretical Chemical Engineering Abstracts, Engineering, Technology & Applied Sciences, and others.
