Low-temperature modified-immersion molten ZnCl2-carbonization and activation for continuous production of mesoporous carbon from plastic waste
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC02465J, PaperTheerawat Waiyaka, Rungkiat Nganglumpoon, Chonticha Rajrujithong, Weerachon Tolek, Pui Vun Chai, Masayuki Shirai, Anuchit Wuttitrairat, Paisan Kittisupakorn, Joongjai Panpranot
We developed a prototype continuous MSCA system using a modified-immersion ZnCl2 molten salt process at 350 °C to convert common plastic waste (PP, PLA, and PET) into high-surface-area mesoporous carbon for energy storage applications.
