Dezheng is studying the conversion of carbon dioxide into plastic materials

At a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society, researchers from Aachen University of Technology in Germany stated that Germany is studying the conversion of large amounts of carbon dioxide emitted from power plants into useful plastic raw materials.

In dealing with the problem of global warming greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, the focus so far has been on the underground storage of carbon dioxide. German researchers recently proposed a different idea to convert carbon dioxide into plastic raw materials for the production of beverage bottles. , DVDs and other useful plastic products. This is the view expressed by Thomas Miller, a researcher from Aachen University in Germany, recently presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans. Miller believes that combining climate protection with plastics production is more meaningful than simply storing CO2 underground. Currently, researchers led by Miller have established a catalyst research center in Aachen University of Engineering and cooperated with German Bayer Chemical Company in Leverkusen to study how to produce low-cost polycarbonate plastic from carbon dioxide. Polycarbonate plastic is a very common raw material for the production of plastic bottles, DVDs, and lenses and other plastic products. The annual global demand is millions of tons. Therefore, if we can successfully research the process of producing polycarbonate from carbon dioxide cheaply, its application prospects will be very broad.

Miller believes that although the use of carbon dioxide to produce plastic materials does not completely solve the problem of global warming, it will make a great contribution to slowing climate warming. Miller also said that the study of this process is not easy, because carbon dioxide is a very stable chemical molecule. To convert it into chemical energy, it consumes energy itself. In addition, special catalysts need to be studied. It is estimated that at least It takes years to get into industrial applications.
