| Abstract | The circular economy is a paradigm for the upcoming industrial era, in which plastic wastes must be focused on as new resources. Chemical valorisation permits deepening into waste -to -gate schemes by obtaining new chemical platforms to be reintroduced in the production market. In this context, the potential of the protic ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium acetate (2-HEAA) to be used as a homogeneous catalytic co -solvent for the glycolytic conversion of post -consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was validated from different perspectives. Studies were performed for the reaction triplet framed under the experimental conditions ( i ) temperature T [160,170,180 degrees C], ( ii ) plastic -to -solvent mass ratio P/S [1:3, 1:4,1:5] and ( iii ) plastic -to -ionic liquid mass ratio P/IL [2:1, 2:2, 2:3]. The reaction was confirmed in terms of the transformation of PET into BHET (bis (2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate) and a proposal of mechanism induced by the amine group of the 2-HEAA is given. The thermal kinetics were modelled and a first -order equation and an apparent activation energy of 60.5 kJ & sdot;mol -1 were obtained. A statistical Box-Behnken design of experiments explained the relationship between the factors of the glycolysis triplet by a response surface, with a maximum around {T = 170 degrees C, P/S = 1:3.75 and P/IL = 2:1.75}, being T and P/S statistically relevant, whereas only the presence of 2-HEAA and not its amount P/IL was significant. Finally, the reusability of 2-HEAA after 90 -min glycolytic chemical valorisations was confirmed up to 4 cycles. The results position 2-HEAA as a promising catalytic co -solvent for the scale -up of chemical valorisation of PET. |
