摘要：

Catalytic cracking is of considerable interest as a sustainable, renewable, efficient, and eco-friendly chemical conversion method of plastic wastes. In catalytic cracking, plastic wastes can be converted into valuable products such as monomers or petrochemical feedstock. Solid acid catalysts, especially zeolites, significantly lower the thermal decomposition temperature of plastics. However, the catalysts have not shown enough performance to be implemented in society. Therefore, major efforts have recently been devoted to solving this problem by appropriately designing zeolite catalysts. Herein, we report a new defect-rich Beta zeolite synthesized by a dry gel conversion method using methyltriethoxysilane. The obtained catalyst exhibited outstanding activity on low-density polyethylene cracking. We measured Fourier-transform infrared spectra using pyridine as a probe molecule and found that this high activity is contributed by the increase of the amount of Lewis acid sites. It probably arises from the ratios of extra-framework hexacoordinated aluminum and silanol groups higher than the conventional Beta zeolite shown in 27Al and 1H magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. We can say that the increase of defects of zeolite Beta further accelerated polymer cracking. This work provides a new strategy to improve the catalytic activity of zeolites on polymer cracking. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
