“…Ghaemy and Mossaddegh verified the results obtained by Baliga and Wong, and the order of activity of the catalysts (Zn +2 > Mn +2 > Co +2 > Pb +2 ) (Ghaemy & Mossaddegh, 2005). J. Chen and L. Chen studied the kinetics of PET glycolysis with zinc acetate catalyst at the same temperature, and they found out that the equilibrium between the BHET monomer and the dimer was reached after two hours, as opposed to 8 hours from Baliga and Wong (J.…”

“…Ghaemy et al [20] studied the decomposition of polyethylene terephthalate resin in ethylene glycol using metal acetate as a catalyst. They assumed a depolymerisation reaction since the glycolysis products mainly consisted of bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (more than 75%) in the liquid phase.…”

“…However, it is very sluggish in the absence of a catalyst. Traditionally, the glycolysis of PET was carried out in the presence of metal acetates [6,7], titanium-phosphate [8], solid superacids [9], metal oxides such as NiO, Fe 2 O 3 or TiO 2 [10], etc. However, these catalysts are toxic and/or corrosive and/or resulting in severe pollution.…”
