Membranes from upcycled waste plastics: current status, challenges, and future outlook
Plastic is ubiquitous across all aspects of modern life. Despite its usefulness, only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled, leaving a tremendous amount that ends up in landfills and the environment. New strategies need to investigate using this waste plastic. This report analyzes upcycling waste plastics into membranes for water and gas separations. Polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene, polypropylene, and tire rubber have been studied for use as membranes. Future work needs to investigate greener solvents, health and safety aspects, costs, supply and demand, and life cycle assessments for upcycling plastic waste into membranes.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published.
The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are:
1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic.
2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic.
The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts.
Themed sections:
Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering:
1. Nanotechnology
2. Energy and environmental engineering
3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery)
5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.)
6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials).
7. Process systems engineering
8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
