Shape selective cracking of polypropylene on an H- <b>MFI</b> type zeolite catalyst with recovery of cyclooctane solvent
Polyolefin was selectively cracked in the micropores of an MFI -zeolite catalyst, while the solvent, cyclooctane with bulky a molecular shape, was mostly recovered. It opens a way for chemical recycling of plastic without consuming other materials.
