The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of Background: using recycled polymer (waste polyethylene terephthalate [PET] bottles) as a membrane material. Furthermore, the effect of the addition of a pore-forming agent and preparation conditions was also observed. Porous Methods: polymeric membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation by dissolving recycled PET...

PET with 68Ga from the TiO2- or SnO2- based 68Ge/68Ga generators is of increasing interest for PET imaging in nuclear medicine. In general, radionuclidic purity (68Ge vs. 68Ga activity) of the eluate of these generators varies between 0.01 and 0.001%. Liquid waste containing low amounts of 68Ge activity is produced by eluting the 68Ge/68Ga generators and residues from PET chemistry. Since clear...

Polyethyleneterephthalate, PET, has become one of the major post-consumer plastic wastes. PET products present a problem of considerable concern due to the huge amount of solid waste produced. The disposal of this waste, together with its low bioand photo-degradability represents a serious challenge for industrial countries all over the world. Pyrolysis could provide an alternative and economic...

Poly(ethylene terephthalate), more commonly known as PET in the packaging industry and generally referred to as ‘polyester‘ in the textile industry, is an indispensable material with immense applications owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties. On the other hand, due to its increasing consumption and non-biodegradability, PET waste disposal has created serious environmental and ...

Biocatalysis can enable a closed-loop recycling of post-consumer PET waste.

if solid wastes are not collected and disposed properly, can cause environmental pollution which affect human health, animals and plants. also aesthetic aspect of solid waste disposal is important. therefore proper management is necessary. this study was carried out for the identification and classification of solid waste produced by oil drilling company temporary camps based on rcra act and un...

In this research, the chemical recycling of terephthalic acid from PET waste by using nano Fe3O4@Py-APTS as solid support was reported. The performance of organically modified nano magnetic was examined in detail and the results were compared with unsupported reactions as the model. By using the solid support, the required time for complete glycolysis, consumption of solvent and catalyst, decre...

ABSTRACT: – The increasing awareness of environment, government has promoted great interest in selected waste collection and has attracted the interest of research groups to challenge of converting recycled plastic into useful products. Converting PET containing film laminate waste is studied to obtain a new material with enhanced properties. In present study different percentage of film lamina...
