A low-temperature hydrogen-free process for upcycling polyethylene (PE) plastics into aliphatic dicarboxylic acid is developed using a heterogeneous catalyst Ru/TiO . The low-density PE (LDPE) conversion can reach 95 % in 24 h under a pressure of 1.5 MPa air at 160 °C with 85 % of the liquid product yield, which mainly is low molecular weight aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Excellent performances can be also achieved for different PE feedstocks. This catalytic oxi-upcycling process paving a new way of upcycling polyethylene waste.
开发了一种使用非均相催化剂 Ru/TiO 的低温无氢工艺,可将聚乙烯(PE)塑料升级为脂肪族二羧酸。在 160°C、1.5 MPa 空气压力下,低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)在 24 h 内的转化率可达 95%,液体产物收率为 85%,主要为低分子量脂肪族二羧酸。不同的 PE 原料也能表现出优异的性能。这种催化氧化升级工艺为聚乙烯废物的升级利用开辟了新途径。
