Chapter 31, Problem 31.22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The validation of the fact that chemical recycling of HDPE and LDPE cannot easily be converted into their monomers is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Polymers contribute towards the environmental problems. To reduce this problem the biodegradable polymers or polymer recycling method can be used. Polymers can be recycled by reusing the polymers or by reconversion of the polymers into monomers.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why can’t chemical recycling–that is, the conversion of polymer to monomers and re-conversion of monomers to polymer–be done easily with HDPE and LDPE?
Recycling of monomers instead of polymer may become an interesting option against environmental pollution. What conditions should be applied for such a degradation to be performed.
Please answer
