摘要

Abstract

Converting polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wastes to its monomer and valuable chemicals

via

eco-friendly chemical method is still a challenge task. Previously

phase transfer catalysts used for alkaline hydrolysis were soluble in reaction media and hardly separated after reaction. Here

we reported several pH-responsive catalysts combined alkyl quaternary ammonium units with heteropolyacid anion for achieving stepwise product/catalyst separation and catalyst recycling. The properties of homogeneous/heterogeneous transfer behavior allow catalyst to be easily separated from reaction media by adjusting of pH value. Among them

N(CH

)

]

(abbreviated as [CTA

]

PW) exhibits the highest activity and the most suitable pH responsive values. Such a pH triggered switchable catalytic system not only shows good performance for depolymerization of pure PET

but also some real PET wastes such as coloured trays and PE/PET complex films could be completely degraded into terephthalic acid. Additionally

the reaction kinetics and activation energy of PET alkaline hydrolysis also studied with and without

pH-responsive [CTA

]

PW.
