Abstract

Catalytic degradation of low density polyethylene (LDPE) including small amounts of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been carried out to develop a chlorine tolerant catalyst for chemical recycling of waste plastics. H-galloaluminosilicate has been found to be highly active as a catalyst for converting LDPE into aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of hydrogen chloride.
