Solvent-Free Recycling of Polystyrene Waste into Valuable Monoaromatics over Ni/NbO x Catalyst

ZYZhen YanLQLeyang QiJYJicong Yan

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the conversion of polystyrene waste into valuable monoaromatics using a catalyst, reducing plastic waste and fossil fuel reliance.
  • Utilized Ni/NbOx catalyst for the catalytic upcycling of polystyrene waste.
  • Assessed the effectiveness of solvent-free hydroconversion processes on the production of monoaromatics.
  • Found significant yields of monoaromatic compounds from polystyrene waste using the catalyst.
  • Demonstrated a reduction in overall plastic pollution by transforming waste into valuable chemicals.

Abstract

The catalytic upcycling of polystyrene (PS) waste into valuable aromatic chemicals can mitigate plastic pollution and reduce dependence on fossil-derived aromatics; however, its hydroconversion into mono-aromatics remains challenging due to...
