Size-Controlled Nanoparticles Embedded in a Mesoporous Architecture Leading to Efficient and Selective Hydrogenolysis of Polyolefins

Xun Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of Pt nanoparticle size on the activity and selectivity of polyethylene hydrogenolysis. The results show that the smallest Pt nanoparticles exhibit the highest activity, while the three different-sized Pt nanoparticles have equivalent selectivity. Furthermore, the study also reveals that the mesoporous pores template the formation of a C 23 -centered distribution of hydrocarbons. These findings provide a framework for catalyst design by separating the carbon-carbon bond cleavage activity from the selectivity for chain lengths of the products.

Mass transfer from a sheared spherical rigid capsule

Clement Bielinski et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the solute mass transfer from a spherical fluid-filled rigid capsule subjected to shear flow, taking into account unsteady, continuous, and nonuniform boundary conditions. The results show that the combined effects of forced convection and the rotation of the capsule increase the mass transfer efficacy, while continuity of both the concentration and the mass flux on the capsule significantly decreases the mass transfer coefficient.

The Critical Role of Process Analysis in Chemical Recycling and Upcycling of Waste Plastics

Scott R. Nicholson et al.

Summary: There is a pressing need to develop new technologies for the circularity of synthetic polymers due to the accumulation of waste plastics and their impact on climate change. Chemical recycling offers a promising solution by converting waste plastics into molecular intermediates for remanufacturing. This paper defines classes of chemical recycling and upcycling and presents general process concepts for the recycling of mixed plastics waste. A framework for techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment is also provided to evaluate the effectiveness of different recycling approaches.

Single pot catalyst strategy to branched products via adhesive isomerization and hydrocracking of polyethylene over platinum tungstated zirconia

Brandon C. Vance et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Pt-WZr is a bifunctional catalyst for LDPE hydrocracking, leading to higher value branched alkanes. The metal-to-acid site molar ratio (MAB) can shift the product distribution and increase the isomerization degree in the residual polymer. This research provides a blueprint for designing effective catalysts for hydrocracking polyolefin plastic wastes using MAB as a catalyst descriptor.

The hydrotreatment of n-C16 over Pt/HPMo/SBA-15 and the investigation of diffusion effect using a novel W-P criterion

Junhao Sun et al.

Summary: A series of Pt/HPMo/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared with pore size as a single variable to investigate the internal diffusion effect on the hydrotreatment of n-C16. A novel model was developed to calculate the Weisz-Prater number, which showed improved accuracy compared to traditional models. It was found that the formation of m-i-C16 is more susceptible to internal diffusion than the consumption of n-C16, and a pore size of not less than 10 nm is required to avoid step-limitation of internal diffusion.

Plastic Waste Conversion over a Refinery Waste Catalyst

Ina Vollmer et al.

Summary: Research has shown that industrial Fluid Catalytic Cracking catalyst can effectively convert polypropylene, and through separate testing, the limitations of transmission have been revealed. The equilibrium catalyst produced the same aromatic content as the fresh catalyst, but with less coke formation, likely due to reduced activity of the zeolite domains and enhanced cracking activity of the matrix.
