Abstract
Acid-, base-free depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with ethanol by FeCl3, FeBr3 (1.0-5.0 mol%) gave diethyl terephthalate (DET) and ethylene glycol (EG) exclusively (98->99 %, 160-180 ºC), and FeCl3 showed better catalyst performance in terms of the activity. The FeCl3 catalyst enabled to proceed exclusive, selective depolymerization of PET from the textile waste to afford DET (and recovered cotton waste), strongly suggesting the possibility of chemical recycling of cloth waste by the transesterification in this catalysis.
