Sustainable plastic bottle recycling: employing zinc-deposited SBA-15 as a catalyst for glycolysis of polyethylene terephthalate

Novel catalysts for recycling PET bottles into monomers have been developed by depositing zinc onto the surface of SBA-15, mitigating ZnO catalyst agglomeration in glycolysis separation processes to enhance reaction yields. Various zinc compounds (Zn(OAc)<sub>2</sub>, ZnCl<sub>2<...
