Plastics not only bring convenience and color to human life, but also bring endless troubles
and disaster to our environment. Reutilization of plastic wastes is in favor of energy …

Thermoplastic polymers (such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride,
polystyrene, etc.) are major constituents of municipal solid waste. Millions of tons of plastic …

Poly (ethylene) terephthalate (PET) waste was subjected to carbonization in a nitrogen
stream at 1098K. The coke was then activated in a carbon dioxide stream under various …

Activated carbons (ACs) are the most widely used and attractive support materials for
electrocatalytic applications because of their significant surface areas, high electrical …

Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET), has become one of the major post-consumer plastic
wastes. In this work, PET wastes were used to produce activated carbon by physical …

Waste and low-cost lignocellulosic biomasses are well studied and widely used as raw
materials for porous carbon adsorbents. Much less attention is given to the exploration of the …

We successfully prepared activated carbon derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
via carbonization and subsequent activation under various conditions and applied it as …

The scientific community has believed the potential of waste PET plastics as an effective
carbon precursor, however, developing PET-derived activated carbons (PETACs) for a …

The thermal decomposition of carbon black composites with polyethylene (PE),
polypropylene (PP) and polyisobutylene (PIB) has been studied in order to clarify the …

The ubiquitous presence of plastic waste presents a significant environmental challenge,
characterized by its persistence and detrimental impacts on ecosystems. The valorization of …
