Abstract
This review aims to comprehensively address recent degradation techniques (physical, chemical and biological) of halogenated waste polymers with a prime focus on thermal degradation techniques. Exploiting various metal oxides during co-pyrolysis is deemed a viable solution for recycling halogenated polymeric waste. This approach has multiple accomplishments of reducing toxic gas emissions and producing valuable products in addition to the invaluable metal recovery via water leaching from pyrochar. More details can be found in article number e202500022 by Mohamed Shafi Kuttiyathil, Labeeb Ali, and Mohammednoor Altarawneh.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Record (TCR) is a "highlights" journal publishing timely and critical overviews of new developments at the cutting edge of chemistry of interest to a wide audience of chemists (2013 journal impact factor: 5.577). The scope of published reviews includes all areas related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and medicinal chemistry as well as interdisciplinary fields.
TCR provides carefully selected highlight papers by leading researchers that introduce the author''s own experimental and theoretical results in a framework designed to establish perspectives with earlier and contemporary work and provide a critical review of the present state of the subject. The articles are intended to present concise evaluations of current trends in chemistry research to help chemists gain useful insights into fields outside their specialization and provide experts with summaries of recent key developments.
