Chemical Recycling of PET Using Catalysts from Layered Double Hydroxides: Effect of Synthesis Method and Mg-Fe Biocompatible Metals.

The chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) residues was performed via glycolysis with ethylene glycol (EG) over Mg-Fe and Mg-Al oxide catalysts derived from layered double hydroxides. Catalysts prepared using the high supersaturation method (h.s.

Degradation study of tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate with TiO immobilized on aluminum meshes employing artificial neural networks.

This work presents the study of tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate advanced oxidation in TiO-containing systems. Titania was immobilized on aluminum surfaces from recyclable materials and the results were compared with the suspension system. The initial concentration of photocatalyst and the oxidizing agent was optimized in a 2 experimental design and a kinetic study of the reactions was performed in the selected conditions.
