Deskripsi

Current recycling methods suffer from harsh reaction conditions and long reaction times. Here the authors show a non-thermal plasma-assisted method for rapid hydrogenolysis of polystyrene at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, generating high yield (>40 wt%) of C1–C3 hydrocarbons.
