CHemical Recycling Of NItrogen Containing poLymErs CatalistiCatalisti, Flemish Institute for Technological Research, Catholic University of Louvain, University of AntwerpWith a market volume of > 3.5 million tons/y in Europe, representing 8% of the total polymer demand, PUs are a very important class of materials. Their versatility, cost competitiveness and durability have led to an increasing use in daily life and a variety of industrial applications. As a result of their intensive use, each year high amounts of PU/PIR waste are generated, of which ...
(CIRCA) Circular plastics: advanced chemical recycling of plastic waste Ghent University
Mixed plastic waste streams are heavily dominated by polyolefin materials and their recycling is a challenge having a large societal significance. Chemical recycling via pyrolysis and steam cracking is seen as a promising technology for the recycling of mixed polyolefins into new plastics with identical properties to virgin grades. However, current technologies are not yet efficient from the economic and environmental standpoint. In fact, ...

Chemical recycling of plastic waste: model-guided design and optimization of sorting and pyrolysis processes Ghent University
Department of Green Chemistry and Technology, Department of Materials, Textiles and Chemical EngineeringPlastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. Chemical recycling of plastic waste into pyrolysis oils, followed by steam cracking into platform molecules, overcomes the limitations of current recycling processes and is expected to become one of the main routes to boost circularity. However, plastic waste contains large amounts of contaminants, a.o. halogens, heteroatoms (N, S, O, P), and metals. Steam crackers ...
Chemical recycling of nitrogen containing polymers (CHRONICLE). University of Antwerp
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Flemish Institute for Technological Research, University of Liège, Intelligence in PRocesses, Advanced Catalysts and Solvents (iPRACS)Develop a novel chemical recycling approach to process rigid polyurethane (PU) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) end-of-life materials. By using selective depolymerization, we will transform these wastes into valuable building blocks to produce more sustainable materials, guaranteeing in this way a high carbon circularity. To secure the sustainability of the new technological route, CHRONICLE will also have a strong value chain management supported by ... Chemical recYCLing of Oxygenated Polymer materialS (CYCLOPS) Ghent University
Department of Materials, Textiles and Chemical Engineering, Department of Green Chemistry and TechnologyThe general objective of the CYCLOPS project is to develop an innovative, breakthrough process for the recycling of oxygenated waste polymers, and in particular polycarbonates (PC), epoxy resins (polyethers) and PET (polyesters) together with some relevant mixed streams (e.g. PC /PET, PC/ABS, PET/PE). The intended process enables to convert the oxygenated waste polymers into valuable di- and polyols which can then be used as the development ...

VITO (Flemish institute for technological research) , KULeuven, UAntwerpenCHRONICLE is a Catalisti Moonshot project that aims to develop a novel, breakthrough approach based, that will enable the chemical recycling of rigid polyurethane (PU) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) end-of-life materials. By using selective depolymerization via amino and/or ammonolysis, these wastes will be transformed into valuable building blocks for the production of more ...
CHRONICLE: CHemical Recycling Of NItrogen Containing poLymErs KU Leuven
Membrane Separations, Adsorption, Catalysis, and Spectroscopy for Sustainable Solutions (cMACS), VITO, Universiteit AntwerpenCHRONICLE aims to develop a breakthrough platform process for the recycling of nitrogen-containing polymers (NCPs), with a focus on rigid PU (polyurethanes) and PIR (Polyisocyanurates). The project is aimed at the full valorisation of the polymer by, in addition to the production of polyols with high added value, also converting the nitrogen-containing fraction into valuable functional building blocks, namely diureas and diamines. The ...
Chemical recYCLing of Oxygenated Polymer materialS VITO (Flemish institute for technological research)
University Ghent, VITO (Flemish institute for technological research) This Catalisti Moonshot project aims to develop and optimize a novel heterogeneously catalyzed reductive depolymerizationprocess to selectively depolymerize waste mixtures of heteropolymers, in particular oxygenated polymermaterials (polyethers, polyesters and polycarbonates) into high added value polyols. The later will besubsequently formulated into functional materials with a focus on potentially recyclable epoxy resins. Chemical recycling of plastic waste to oil in supercritical water Ghent University
Chemical recycling of plastic waste to oil followed by subsequent steam cracking into light olefins will become the main route for reduction of the escalating plastic waste crisis in the coming decade. Plastic waste contains a significant amount of contaminants in the form of heteroatomic compounds containing O, N, S, Cl and Br. Steam crackers have strict limits on these contaminant concentrations to ensure a high quality product and protect ...
