## 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 (2βhydroxyethyl terephthalate) (BHET) was obtained in all

To reclaim the monomers or prepare intermediates suitable for other polymers zinc acetate catalayzed glycolysis of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was carried out with ethylene or propylene glycol, with PET/glycol molar ratios of 1 : 0.5-1 : 3, in xylene at 170-245ΠC. During the multiphase
The glycolysis reaction of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) melts with ethylene glycol has been examined in a pressurized reactor. The kinetics of the glycolysis reaction are studied. The rate constants for glycolysis without addition of catalyst are calculated at four different temperatures, yiel
The experiments were carried out in excess ethylene glycol (EG) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) oligomer in the presence of zinc acetate as catalyst at 190Β°C. It was found that during the glycolysis reaction, the monomer and dimer were contained in the liquid phase. After 2 h of the glycolysi
