Management of waste poly vinyl chloride (PVC) through chemical modification

摘要

This review presents a strategy for management of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) waste by chemical modification as a viable method. PVC contains chlorine as a source to attack by nucleophiles (Nu-) and resultant product can be used for various applications due to its conductivity, antibacterial and ion exchange properties. Prominently used Nu- are I-, SCN-, OH-, N_3-phthalimide anion and concentrated alkali solution in the presence of O_2 as oxidants.
