Table 1. Deconstruction of EDB and PET

Sep 2, 2026

This document presents Table 1, detailing the deconstruction of EDB (Ethylene Dibromide) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) under various conditions. The table outlines experiments involving different substrates, catalysts such as UiO-66, ZrO2, Zr6 cluster, and MIL-140A, and atmospheres including H2 and Ar. It systematically records the yields of reaction products, specifically TA (Terephthalic Acid) and MMT (Monomethyl Terephthalate), under controlled temperatures and durations. The data indicates the effectiveness of different catalytic systems and atmospheric conditions in breaking down these compounds. Specific entries detail reactions involving pure PET, as well as PET mixed with PP (Polypropylene) and PE (Polyethylene) derived from bottles. The footnotes provide crucial context, specifying reaction parameters like temperature, time, catalyst loading, and the method used for yield determination (1H NMR spectroscopy). The total yield for EDB reactions is defined as benzoic acid yield, while for PET reactions, it's the combined TA+MMT yield. Abbreviations such as N.R. for no reaction are also clarified, making the table a comprehensive record of experimental outcomes in chemical deconstruction processes.

FAQs

What are the main substrates used in the deconstruction experiments?

The main substrates used are EDB (Ethylene Dibromide) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). PET was also tested in combination with PP (Polypropylene) and PE (Polyethylene).

What types of catalysts were employed in these reactions?

The catalysts employed include UiO-66, ZrO2, a Zr6 cluster, and MIL-140A. The quantity of each catalyst used is also specified in the footnotes.

How were the reaction yields determined and what do the total yields represent?

Yields were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The total yield for EDB reactions is the benzoic acid yield, and for PET reactions, it is the combined TA (Terephthalic Acid) + MMT (Monomethyl Terephthalate) yield.
