Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for preparing glycollate by electro-catalyzing ethylene glycol or electro-catalytically reforming waste plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The method for preparing glycollate by electro-catalytically reforming waste plastic PET includes: 1) dissolving the waste plastic PET into an alkali liquid, and carrying out solid-liquid separation after hydrolysis reaction to obtain an alkaline electrolyte containing ethylene glycol; and 2) assembling an anode catalyst, a cathode catalyst and the alkaline electrolyte containing the ethylene glycol into an electrolytic cell, and applying voltage for electrocatalytic reaction, where the ethylene glycol is oxidized at an anode to generate glycollate, and water is reduced at a cathode to generate hydrogen. The present invention firstly provides conversion of the waste plastic PET into the glycollate by means of an electrocatalysis technology in the art, and the method not only utilizes resources and energy of the waste plastic PET, but also provides a new idea for low-cost and large-scale production of glycolic acid.
