Phytocat - a bio-derived Ni catalyst for rapid de-polymerization of polystyrene using a synergistic approach

Environmentally-friendly recycling of polystyrene and disposal of metal-containing plant biomass from phytoremediation sites are major challenges. Strategies beyond waste-to-energy that can harness the circular chemical potential of such feed-stocks are needed. We present a "triple-green"...

Zusammenfassung:Environmentally-friendly recycling of polystyrene and disposal of metal-containing plant biomass from phytoremediation sites are major challenges. Strategies beyond waste-to-energy that can harness the circular chemical potential of such feed-stocks are needed. We present a "triple-green" approach using microwave irradiation (250 °C, 200 W,
