Methanolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using non-stoichiometric protic ionic liquids
Microwave-assisted methanolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) was catalysed by a recyclable, inexpensive non-stoichiometric protic ionic liquid from sulfuric acid and triethylamine.
