“…Nowadays, plastic waste, namely poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which is most commonly associated with plastic drink bottles, is one of the major problems of our society. Many research works have been performed in the last years in order to develop innovative technologies for the conversion of these excessive amounts of waste into new useful, value‐added products 1–9. Among the various recovery methods, the conversion of waste PET into carbonaceous porous adsorbents may be a notable way.…”

“…Among the various recovery methods, the conversion of waste PET into carbonaceous porous adsorbents may be a notable way. The high carbon content and low amounts of mineral matters and impurities in PET have made this residue a promising precursor for activated carbons (AC) 1, 3, 4, 8. Conversion of the available, low‐cost, and reproducible PET wastes into AC would eliminate the related environmental concerns; it would also reduce the total production costs of AC and promote their application to various industrial uses.…”

“…Obuchi et al15 obtained 70 wt % of oil containing aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons after the decomposition of a mixture of 15 wt % PET and 85 wt % polypropylene. Active carbon was also successfully obtained by carbonization of PET, using different chemical activators and conditions 16–18. Surface areas between 100 and 2500 m 2 g −1 were achieved.…”

“…Activated carbons are produced from various precursors by carbonization and activation. These precursors can be of natural origins such as hard coal, brown coal, peat, wood, and fruit stones [12] or be polymeric substrates such as phenolformaldehyde resins [13,14], furfural [15], poly(ethylene terephthalate) [16], and ion exchange resins [17]. The polymeric precursors of activated carbon microparticles have several advantages, but the crucial one is the high purity of the final product [1].…”
