Examples of applications in hydrolysis reaction

As shown in Fig. 1, the hydrolysis of PET generates terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The reaction time ranges from a few to 30 minutes, and requires no additive.
This leads to the hope that the process will be more efficient than the conventional process for PET decomposition.

Example of a hydrolyses reaction: The hydrolysis of PET pellets using supercritical water
Before composition PET pellet material + water	After decomposition Terephthalic acid (in fine particles) + an ethylene glycol aqueous solution
