Abstract Polyolefins, commonly used in packaging and single-use products, are notoriously persistent in the environment, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. In scientific literature to date, polyolefins have not been reported to fully biodegrade. This study examines the biodegradation potential of polyolefin materials, specifically polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), enhanced through the incorporation of Biotransformation Masterbatch technology.
1. Introduction Microplastics have become a major concern of late. They enter the environment, interact with both the geosphere and the biosphere and become a part of biogeochemical cycles just like other substances [1,2,3]. Soil represents a medium where microplastics can accumulate [4,5,6,7].
Abstract Process intensification through continuous flow reactions has increased the production rates of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Catalytic reactions are accelerated through an unconventional and unprecedented use of a high‐performance liquid/liquid counter current chromatography system. Product generation is significantly faster than in traditional batch reactors or in segmented flow systems, which is exemplified through stereoselective phase‐transfer catalyzed reactions.
