Article Synopsis
- The increasing amount of plastic waste is a major environmental issue, prompting research into thermochemical recycling methods for various plastics, especially polycarbonate (PC).
- This study focuses on using thermo-catalytic treatment to recover valuable monomers, specifically bisphenol A (BPA), from polycarbonate by optimizing pyrolysis conditions and using carbon dioxide (CO) as an atmospheric gas.
- Results showed that utilizing high-porosity MgO catalysts significantly increased BPA yield, with the most effective catalyst yielding over double the amount compared to traditional non-catalytic methods.
