Preparation of sodium silicate/red mud-based ZSM-5 with glucose as a second template for catalytic cracking of waste plastics into useful chemicals

) (selectivity: 77.1%) from cracking of low density polyethylene at 500 °C. The long-term cracking experiment showed that the synthesized ZSM-5 is superior in converting waste plastics to light olefins (ethylene and propene) than the commercial ZSM-5.
