Plastic separation becomes an effective method to improve the plastic recycling by concentrating a single component from complex plastic mixtures. Based on advanced oxidation process, surface modification assisted by ammonium persulfate ((NH 4) 2 S 2 O 8) was applied to selectively wet plastic surface, achieving the separation of hazardous polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC) in forth flotation. The mechanisms were investigated through contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), as well as scanning electron microscope (SEM). The floatability of PS, PC, and ABS reduces owing to the introduction of carbonyl (O= C single bondO), hydroxyl (− OH), and amide (O= C–NH 2) on plastic surfaces, which is the result of the oxidation by sulfate radical (S O 4∙-) and the hydrolysis of nitrile group (Ctriple bondN) and butadiene (Cdouble bondC). Then, available reaction equations of ABS, PS, and PC were established to supplement the mechanisms of surface modification. The optimal conditions for flotation separation of PVC are (NH 4) 2 S 2 O 8 concentration 0.2 M, temperature 70° C, pretreatment time 30 min, pH 10, flotation time 4 min, terpineol dosage 20 mg/L, and particle size 3–4 mm. The recovery and purity of PVC reach 100% and 99.7±0.2% respectively, favoring the reuse of separated waste plastic.
