Depolymerization of PET with ethanol by homogeneous iron catalysts applied for exclusive chemical recycling of cloth waste
Acid-, base-free depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with ethanol catalyzed by FeCl3, FeBr3 (1.0-5.0 mol%) gave diethyl terephthalate (DET) and ethylene glycol (EG) exclusively (98-99%, 160-180 degrees C), and FeCl3 showed better catalytic performance in terms of activity. The FeC...
