Glycolysis of postconsumer polyethylene terephthalate waste
Abstract
Glycolytic depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle waste was attempted using ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of chlorides of zinc, lithium, didymium, magnesium, and iron as catalysts. Virtual monomer bis (2‐hydroxyethyl terephthalate) (BHET) was obtained in all cases with nearly 74% yield, the highest yield being achieved with zinc chloride catalyst 0.5% w/w, PET : EG ratio 1 : 14 and 8 h under reflux conditions. The results were comparable to other catalysts like common alkalis, acids, and salts of some earth metals and zeolites used earlier although parameters of glycolysis were observed to vary depending on the catalyst. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
