Synthesis of an efficient MOF catalyst for the degradation of OPDs using TPA derived from PET waste bottles

Abstract In this study, a method for degrading PET-waste plastic bottles using ZnCl2:Urea as a catalyst was developed, resulting in high conversion (87%). The terephthalic acid obtained from the degradation of Waste PET Bottles (WPTs) was combined with copper and zinc salts to synthesize bimetallic...
