Solvent-based removal of colorants from post-consumer recycled HDPE plastics
A solvent dissolution-precipitation approach to remove colorants from post-consumer recycled high-density polyethylene (PCR-HDPE). Using Hansen solubility parameters and novel solvents, this method aims to purify recycle...
Catalytic subcritical water hydrolysis for selective PLA recovery from PHA/PLA polymer blends
An environmentally friendly chemical recycling process that selectively depolymerizes PLA into lactic acid from PHA/PLA polymer blends using subcritical water hydrolysis with catalyst screening. This method enables separ...
PHA-based barrier coating for sustainable molded fiber packaging
This innovative barrier coating combines compostable PHA with PVOH and bio-based fillers to enhance paper packaging. It offers improved grease resistance, moisture barrier, and compatibility with recycling or composting.
Hydrothermal liquefaction of papermill waste into fuels and chemicals
Transform papermill waste, predominantly plastic, into high-value fuels and chemicals using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). This process yields hydrocarbons like naphtha and BTEX, suitable for industrial and fuel applic...
Efficient pigment removal from TPU using supercritical CO2
A novel method using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to remove pigments from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) without degrading its properties. This environmentally friendly process offers an alternative to traditio...
