Abstract:Waste plastics have become the second biggest environmental concern following climate change. The method for chemical cycling of waste plastics into light olefins is proposed. Four potential technical routes, that is, plastics to light olefins via syngas through the Fischer−Tropsch process (PFTO), plastics to light olefins via syngas through the recently developed OX-ZEO process (PZTO), plastics to light olefins via methanol through the methanol-to-olefins process (PMTO), and plastics to light olefins via pyro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
