Optimizing Ash Content in Biomass Hydrothermal Liquefaction through Machine Learning and Sustainability Assessment

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a highly promising thermochemical technology for converting wet biomass into bioliquid fuels. However, the effects of ash content in process performance and sustainability remain poorly understood. This study examined acid washing, alkali washing, and feedstock blending as methods f...

Molecular Recycling of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Waste via Ytterbium Triflate-Catalyzed Hydrolysis

Returning waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to its original monomers (e.g., terephthalic acid (TPA)) constitutes closed-loop molecular recycling. Hydrolysis can accomplish this conversion and ytterbium triflate (Yb(OTf)3) is an effective catalyst. PET hydrolysis with Yb(OTf)3 at 220 °C for 40 min resulted in 92% P...
