Preparation of Cu-Mg-Al-O catalyst for the hydrodeoxygenation of waste plastic PET monomer into p-xylene

More than 400 million tonnes of plastics are produced annually, with PET representing a significant fraction of post-consumer waste. Converting PET-derived monomers into p -xylene (PX) via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) provides a pathway to both plastic valorization and sustainable ar...
