Unraveling the dual effect of water on catalytic plastic recycling (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers investigate the mechanisms by which water, when added to the reaction mixture of a ruthenium-based catalytic process, enhances the conversion of polyolefins into fuels like diesel and gasoline. Their findings represent a breakthrough in catalytic plastic recycling, a promising avenue for tackling the ever-growing threat of plastic pollution.
