Energy Efficiency Analysis of PET Hydrolyzed by Different Ways of Microwave Irradiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of microwave irradiation way on hydrolytic depolymerization of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied at 175°C, 180°C and 185°C. Based on this study, an additional experiment that the intermittent radiation time was one tenth of total reaction time (intermittent radiation (1/10)) was conducted to research the microwave energy utilization. The results showed that the energy efficiency increased as the temperature rose. And the energy utilization of intermittent radiation (1/10) was 16.7% higher than that of the continuous radiation at 175°C.
