美国马萨诸塞州阿默斯特(Amherst)大学和特拉华大学的化学工程师团队已经发现了一种新的方式,利用生物质而不是利用石油来制取塑料瓶。这是一种高效率、利用可再生资源的方法,用于生产化学品对二甲苯。这项研究已在美国化学学会杂志“催化(Catalysis)”上发表。二甲苯化学品被用来制造PET塑料,目前这在许多产品中被使用, A team of chemical engineers at Amherst University and the University of Delaware in the United States has discovered a new way to make plastic bottles from biomass rather than using oil. This is a highly efficient and renewable resource-based process for the production of chemicals called p-xylene. This study has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, “Catalysis.” Xylene chemicals are used to make PET plastics, which is currently used in many products,
