Researchers Turn Car Battery Acid and Plastic Waste into Clean Hydrogen and New Plastic
Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor to break down hard-to-recycle forms of plastic waste – such as drinks bottles, nylon textiles and polyurethane foams – using acid recovered from old car batteries. The process then converts the waste into clean hydrogen fuel and valuable industrial chemicals. The reactor was developed by researchers from the University […]
