In this study, we aimed to figure out how the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate produces monomers, dimers, trimers, and other oligomers bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate. Polymerization was achieved in a bubble column reactor with 0.05 wt% 40–50 nm magnesium oxide nanoparticle as catalyst. A used perform recycling process at boiling point ethylene glycol atmospheric pressure. Depo...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the joint between glass-infiltrated alumina frames and the experimental adjusting agent (MA modifier) that contains alumina and magnesia. METHODS A commercially available adjusting agent (Optimizer), a slurry of alumina powder (Alumina modifier), and a bulk specimen (joint-free alumina) were used as controls. Be...

An alumina-supported nickel catalyst was prepared by impregnation of Ni2+ solution onto mesoporous alumina under microwave irradiation (denoted as M-Ni/Al2O3). For comparison, a catalyst with the same nickel content was prepared by conventional impregnation method (denoted as UM-Ni/Al2O3). Both M-Ni/Al2O3 and UM-Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were applied to the syngas (H2 + CO) production by methane oxy-s...
