[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of industrial catalysis, specifically to the preparation of Pt-supported TiO2 catalysts and a method for photocatalytically converting waste PET plastic and sulfite into hydroxymethylsulfonate. Particularly, it relates to TiO2 with different Pt loadings (Pt... x The TiO2 (x = 0.05–0.7%) catalyst reacts polyethylene glycol (EG) monomers derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with sulfites (SO3). 2- The highly efficient photocatalyst is hydroxymethyl sulfonate (HMS). Background Technology
[0002] Organosulfur compounds are widely distributed in natural ecosystems and various organisms, with over a thousand such compounds identified and extracted from terrestrial and aquatic environments. These compounds play a crucial role in the development of anticancer, anticonvulsant, and antibacterial drugs. Currently, the market for organosulfur compounds is experiencing sustained growth and is expected to continue expanding at a significant compound annual growth rate, including both natural and synthetic varieties. These compounds continue to have a profound impact on new drug discovery, highlighting their key role in driving advancements in medical science and other related fields. Hydroxymethyl sulfonate (HMS), as one of the simplest organosulfur compounds, not only functions as an important cleaning agent in the electronics industry but also serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants and pharmaceuticals. Its industrial synthesis is typically carried out via the nucleophilic addition reaction of formaldehyde with bisulfite, but this process can generate byproducts such as polyoxymethylene (POM) and poses a potential cancer risk to workers. Therefore, developing a more environmentally friendly HMS production strategy is of great significance. In recent years, several innovative technological routes have been developed to combine biomass alcohols with bisulfite (SO3) via a catalytic CS coupling reaction. 2- ) or bisulfite (HSO3) - Combined with other methods to prepare HMS. For example, using a photocatalyst to in-situ photo-oxidize alcohols to formaldehyde, while SO3... 2- As an S-containing nucleophile, it immediately undergoes an addition reaction with formaldehyde to generate HMS. Due to the mild reaction conditions, controllable parameters, and good atom economy, this photocatalytic synthesis technology for HMS shows promise as an environmentally friendly alternative.
[0003] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is produced globally at a rate of approximately 70 million tons per year, making it one of the most widely used polymers. About 60% of PET is used in the production of synthetic fibers, such as carpets, while approximately 30% is used to manufacture disposable beverage bottles. Depolymerizing PET into its monomers via hydrolysis is considered one of the most promising depolymerization methods, a process that converts PET into terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG). TPA can be used to further synthesize new PET plastics, while PET-derived EG can be photo-oxidized to formaldehyde, which can serve as a raw material for the synthesis of hydroxymethyl sulfonate (HMS). Therefore, designing efficient photocatalysts to stabilize and capture the formaldehyde intermediate during the photooxidation of ethylene glycol is crucial for achieving the reaction of PET-derived EG with SO3. 2- The efficient photocatalytic conversion of waste into HMS, as a dual waste treatment strategy, has significant value-added potential and environmental significance.

Since Pt metal has stronger contrast under aberration electron microscopy than TiO2, these bright spots can be attributed to Pt metal particles. Because this process uses methanol-water solution as the dispersion liquid, the Pt metal particles are small in size and uniformly dispersed on the TiO2 support.
