Hephaestus Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Dear All, a useful source of interesting chemicals are found "locked" up within the plastics we consume each day. Is there a simple and clean method of extracting say terepthalic acid and other derivatives from these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkblade48 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I believe terepthalic acid can be extracted using a simple saponification reaction, with ethylene glycol as the solvent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
