Dual activation of a zinc salt and solvent-tuned dissolution enable efficient neutral hydrolysis of PET and its blends
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC03996G, PaperXuan Zhao, Shun Zhang, Jiaying Xu, Chengfeng Shen, Yifan Liu, Xuehui Liu, Zhishan Su, Shimei Xu, Yu-Zhong Wang
By taking advantage of the combined action of solvents and catalysts, PET can be efficiently hydrolyzed under neutral conditions. The catalyst has a dual activation effect on the protons of water and the ester groups of PET.
