Catalytic alkaline hydrolysis of PET and BPA-PC waste in minutes at atmospheric pressure without microwaves or organic solvents

Rapid alkaline hydrolysis of PET, BPA-PC and mixtures of both is possible in minutes at atmospheric pressure through the combination of solute-derived boiling point elevation and phase transfer catalysis without requiring microwaves or cosolvents.
