Catalytic Hydrogenation of Organic Polymers by Mixed Transition Metal Oxides

Plastic pollution is inviting a global
environmental crisis. Plastic production and its
corresponding waste generation are increasing
dramatically as a result of growing populations,
continued urbanization, and changes in modern lifestyle.
Moreover, the problem of this extremely useful product
is its long life. Converting waste plastics into liquid and
gaseous products is considered a wise alternative to
minimize the damage to the environment and moreover,
decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. The idea of depolymerization of plastics into other products is its
conversion into monomers and subsequently into
platform chemicals.
