Abstract

Glycolysis is the most promising chemical recycling method to depolymerize poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with ethylene glycol (EG) into the monomer bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET). Boosting the depolymerization kinetics while staying under comparatively mild and green reaction conditions is required to bring glycolysis to industrial scale utilization. This work suggests achieving this goal by a combined pressure, temperature and co-solvent addition approach. By using the environmentally friendly γ-valerolactone (GVL) as a suitable co-solvent in the traditional PET glycolysis system, and slight temperature and pressure elevation, the kinetics was boosted by almost two orders of magnitude compared to the standard literature process. A kinetic model was employed to describe the kinetics as a function of temperature and GVL concentration. The optimized condition allowed nearly full conversion after 2 minutes only.

提高 PET 糖酵解动力学
乙二醇(EG)将聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)解聚成单体对苯二甲酸二(2-羟乙基)酯(BHET)是最有前途的化学循环方法。要将乙二醇技术应用于工业规模,就必须在相对温和和绿色的反应条件下提高解聚动力学。这项工作建议通过压力、温度和共溶剂添加相结合的方法来实现这一目标。通过在传统的 PET 糖酵解系统中使用环境友好的 γ-戊内酯(GVL)作为合适的助溶剂,并略微提高温度和压力,与标准文献工艺相比,动力学提高了近两个数量级。我们采用了一个动力学模型来描述动力学与温度和 GVL 浓度的函数关系。优化后的条件只需 2 分钟就能实现几乎完全的转化。
