Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) recycling is crucial for mitigating the environmental impact of PVC
wastes, which take decades to decompose in landfills. This review examines the current …

Chemical treatment of end-of-life PVC at high temperature often results in the formation of
polyacetylene and eventually aromatic char. These insoluble conjugated polymers lead to …

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the third most produced plastic worldwide. However, it is also
among the least recycled plastics, and research in PVC upcycling appears to lag behind that …

The development of high-performance and low-cost catalysts is of great significance in the
field of catalytic hydrogenation. It is advisable to convert the reserved coal gangue waste …

We report the production of biobased plasticizers starting from citric acid (CA) by a two-step
process comprising dehydration-hydrogenation of CA followed by a Fischer esterification …

We conduct a comprehensive investigation into the interactions between polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) and its additives, with a focus on exploring alternative, bioderived solvents for …

Plastics are a ubiquitous and growing presence in our lives, with chlorinated plastics, like
polyvinyl chloride (PVC), playing a pivotal role due to their superior qualities. However, the …
