Dechlorination of poly(vinyl chloride): thermal benchmarks and complementary non-thermal pathways toward sustainable recycling
Key Points
The research aims to explore both thermal and non-thermal methods for effectively dechlorinating poly(vinyl chloride) to improve recycling practices.
Investigated thermal benchmarks for PVC dechlorination.
Evaluated emerging non-thermal strategies for chlorine management.
Analyzed the impact of methods on polymer valorization.
Non-thermal strategies provide alternative pathways for PVC dechlorination.
Conventional thermal treatment remains effective but has limitations.
The integration of both methods offers a comprehensive approach for sustainable recycling.
Abstract
Emerging non-thermal strategies expand the mechanistic scope of PVC dechlorination beyond conventional thermal treatment, opening new pathways for chlorine management and polymer valorization.
