The Commodore PET is a line of personal computers produced starting in 1977 by Commodore International. [3] A single all-in-one case combines a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, Commodore BASIC in read-only memory, keyboard, monochrome monitor, and, in early models, a cassette deck.

Building on R&D by IBM Research, this project aims to optimize key unit operations, scale-up, and demonstrate an integrated process for a novel organocatalytic PET chemical recycling method known as VolCat.

In the battle against the massive, growing issue of plastic pollution, scientists from IBM recently announced a new plastics recycling system called VolCat, short for volatile catalyst. The system is based on a catalytic chemical reactor that converts PET waste into raw plastic material.

PET is a ubiquitous plastic used in beverage containers. Due to its semicrystalline nature, high melting point and relatively low Tg, processing of PET allows for exquisite control of percent crystallinity and size of crystallites.

2019年7月17日 · To transform plastic and increase recycling, San Francisco-based IBM has developed a new technology called VolCat, a catalytic chemical process that can turn PET into a renewable resource...

2019年2月11日 · IBM's new recycling system VolCat can break down materials that are often difficult to recycle, and it could help cut down on fossil fuel emissions. With so many issues surrounding plastic recycling in the U.S., it's imperative that the country finds new ways to make recycling more accessible and sustainable.

2019年5月22日 · Called VolCat, short for “volatile catalyst,” the technology enables the recovery of the monomer bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), which can then be used in the production of like-new PET. VolCat, IBM says, is cost-efficient, produces no …

2020年9月25日 · 使用IBM研究院的VolCat化学回收工艺,可以将该绿色、消费后废弃物转化为纯PET单体,即世界上最常用的塑料聚合物。 今年,IBM研究院计划启动下一阶段工作,推动创新型VolCat塑料回收工艺实现商业化。

The TechnoDrive 65 PET machine evolved from Jomar’s TechnoDrive 65, which is a high-speed production machine first unveiled in 2018. It has a dry cycle time of only 1.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest injection blow molding machines in the industry.

The document discusses injection blow molding (IBM) of PET. It describes the typical IBM machine and mold setup for PET, including temperature control of molds and manifolds. PET requires specialized drying and temperature control throughout the process.
