Facile Recycling Strategy of Dyed Polyester Waste by Template-Based Synthesis of UiO-66 for Value-Added Transformation into Self-detoxifying Fabrics.

ABSTRACT: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) accounts for a significant portion of textile waste, and recycling strategies for this material have attracted much attention. This study proposes a facile and innovative PET recycling method applicable to environmental remediation that involves the conversion of dyed PET fabric waste into a value-added fabric. Herein, a template-based synthesis approach capable of growing a UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) directly on a dyed PET fabric is reported. The advantage of this process lies in its simplicity, where the partial hydrolysis of PET followed by a zirconium chloride treatment results in the successful growth of UiO-66 on a dyed PET fabric with the concurrent removal of the dye without additional steps. The catalytic performance of the UiO-66-grown f
