Catalyzed hydrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate melts

Abstract: SYNOPSISThe effect of zinc catalysts on the hydrolytic depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) melts in excess water was studied using a 2-L stirred pressure reactor at temperatures of 250, 265, and 280°C. The main products of the reaction were found to be terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Rate constants were calculated from initial rate data at each temperature and found to be about 20% greater than the corresponding rate constants for uncatalyzed hydrolysis. The catalyti… Show more

“…The hydrolysis products may be used to produce virgin PET, or may be converted to more expensive chemicals like oxalic acid (Yoshioka et al, 2003). Concentrated sulfuric acid is usually used for acid hydrolysis (Brown & O'Brien, 1976;Pusztaszeri, 1982;Sharma et al, 1985;Yoshioko et al, 1994Yoshioko et al, , 2001, caustic soda for alkaline hydrolysis (Alter, 1986), and water or steam for neutral hydrolysis (Campanelli et al, 1993(Campanelli et al, ,1994aMandoki, 1986). Hydrolysis is slow compared to methanolysis and glycolysis, because among the three depolymerizing agents (i.e.…”

“…Resultados de extensão de reação em função do tempo de hidrólise de PET fino (!) e grosso (+) submetidos à hidrólise em solução aquosa de acetato de sódio (7,5M) a 100°C e 1 atm de hidrólise [11] . De acordo com a Figura 2, este comportamento não se repetiu quando da reação do polímero no estado sólido.…”

“…Dessa maneira, contribui-se para uma comparação entre as reações, principalmente no tocante à exploração de cada uma enquanto técnica viável de reciclagem química. Embora a literatura apresente vários artigos sobre o assunto, a comparação entre resultados de outros autores não é possível, uma vez que praticamente todos os parâmetros experimentais são diferentes entre si [4,[9][10][11][12] . Outro objetivo do trabalho é a comparação de propriedades do monômero comercial, produzido em petroquímica pela oxidação do p-xileno, com o produzido pelo processo hidrolítico considerado mais produtivo e posteriormente submetido a um processo de purificação definido.…”
