UTILIZATION OF PET WASTES AND THE SIDE PRODUCTS OF BIODIESEL PRODUCTION

N. Todorov, Donka Todorova

Abstract :

 The increased use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for packaging and the increase of biodiesel production raised the necessity to utilize both waste PET and glycerol phase which is a side product of the biodiesel production. The present paper describes a possibility for chemical recycling of PET waste from beverage bottles using glycerides of fatty acids (GFA) obtained from the glycerol phase. A great number of depolymerizations were carried out under varied conditions – mass ratio GFA/PET, temperature, process duration and amount of catalyst. The products of the depolymerization were studied by spectral methods of analysis and gel permeation chromatography.
