Title: Can terapthalic acid be converted to alkanes?
Post by: dontknow on December 16, 2020, 06:10:50 AM

I'm not a chemistry student, but I need to know if terapthalic acid can be in some way (the easiest/cheapest the better) converted into fuel for my project (business classes). Do you maybe know the answer? Or have any tips about in which books/articles I can find it? Thank you for the help  :).

A lot of heat in a closed vessel will do it.

Google has more. Look fuel from plastic.
