And a lab-scale application to prepare a precursor of biodiesel
Synthesis of Biofuel precursor with a Polystyrene sulfonic acid resin from waste Polystyrene
Having optimised a reproducible process for preparing Polystyrene Sulfonic Acid (PSSA) from waste Polystyrene (PS), we were keen to test its catalytic activity. The sample shown in the video has a …

We have already developed a robust and user-friendly protocol to upcycle Polystyrene waste from our teaching labs at UCLEast
Synthesis of Polystyrene Sulfonic Acid from waste expanded Polystyrene
Polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) resins are commercially available and can be synthesised from polystyrene (PS) via direct sulfonation, a classic textbook reaction familiar to many chemistry studen…
