Neutral hydrolysis of post-industrial PET waste: Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-catalyzed and catalyst-free reactions
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used polymers globally, thus generating a significant amount of waste each year. Chemical recycling is an effective method for converting PET waste into its monomeric constituents. In this study, the hydrolysis of a PET waste generated in an industrial production line was investigated. The hydrolysis process was carried out in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a catalyst. The Taguchi L18 design was employed to evaluate the effects of three key parameters: temperature, reaction time, and the CTAB:PET mass ratio. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also conducted to assess the statistical significance of these parameters. The results showed that the highest terephthalic acid yield (90.44 %) was achieved at 215 °C, 90 min, and 5.0 wt% catalyst, while a yield of 95.91 % was obtained at 220 °C, 90 min, without a catalyst. Statistical analysis indicated that temperature had the most significant impact on hydrolysis efficiency, followed by reaction time, and catalyst loading. The calculated environmental energy impacts (ξ) for these optimal reactions are 9.6 × 103 and 7.5 × 103 °C·min, for the 215 and 220 °C, respectively, that are fairly low compared to other neutral hydrolysis reports. To confirm the structural composition and purity of the reaction products, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis were performed.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
