Oxidative depolymerization of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) wastes to value-added chemicals
Polymer materials are essential in modern applications such as packaging, construction, and textiles, however, their widespread use generates substantial waste. Due to the complex depolymerization processes, this polymeric waste is becoming an environmental burden. Oxidative depolymerization of polymer wastes has a potentially great impact on the economy, environment, and health. This comprehensive study reviews the latest updates on oxidative depolymerization of polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene. These three polymers were selected due to their extensive commercial use and substantial contribution to plastic waste. The review also addresses the commercial and ecological implications of the oxidative depolymerization of these polymers. Besides, it explores the impact of environmental conditions, additive availability, and polymer molecular structure on oxidative depolymerization. Oxidative depolymerization mechanisms such as chain scission, cross-linking, and chain termination reactions are also discussed. Comparisons are drawn between the three polymers of interest to identify the differences in the factors affecting depolymerization and depolymerization mechanisms. This review is relevant to industries that depend on polymers, underscoring the need to understand the factors driving oxidative depolymerization.
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.
