METHOD FOR THE RECOVERY OF STARTING MATERIALS FROM BLENDED TEXTILE WASTES

What is shown is a method for the recovery of raw materials from blended textile wastes, which includes the following steps in the given order: a) providing blended textile waste that includes at least a cellulose component and at least a polyester component, b) treating the blended textile waste in an aqueous treatment solution in order to depolymerize the polyester component and dissolve it in the treatment solution, c) separating the cellulose component from the treatment solution and recovering a cellulose raw material, d) filtering the treatment solution in order to remove foreign substances, particularly dyes and metal ions, from the treatment solution, and e) precipitating terephthalic acid from the treatment solution, separating the precipitated terephthalic acid, and recovering a terephthalic-acid-including polyester raw material. In order to, within the scope of the mentioned method, enable the recovery of raw materials with an increased level of purity, it is proposed that filtering the treatment solution in step d) should at least comprise a filtration by an adsorbent filter medium.

A method for processing a waste fabric containing polyester and cotton fibers includes the following steps. The first step is providing a plurality of fabric scraps each containing polyester fibers and cotton fibers. The next step is allowing an acid catalyst aqueous solution to repeatedly contact and react with the fabric scraps at 130° C. to 160° C. in a circulation and backflow manner, so as to separate the cotton fibers from each of the fabric scraps. The last step is recycling the reacted acid catalyst aqueous solution and fabric scraps.

RECYCLING METHOD OF POLYESTER WOOL BLENDED FABRIC

Provided is a recycling method of polyester wool blended fabric, which includes the following. A polyester wool blended fabric containing a dye is put into an acidic aqueous solution containing an oxidizing agent for heating and soaking, so as to degrade a wool in the polyester wool blended fabric, and perform decolorization at the same time to remove the dye. After that, a polyester fabric is obtained by filtration.

DISPOSAL METHOD FOR WASTE FABRIC CONTAINING POLYESTER, NYLON, AND DYE

A disposal method for waste fabric containing polyester, nylon, and dye includes the following steps: step (a): providing a waste fabric containing polyester, nylon, and dye; and step (b): performing a first-stage treatment including acid treatment on the waste fabric to obtain a first liquid material and a first solid material. The first-stage treatment includes acid treatment with an acid liquid mixed with an oxidant. The first solid material includes recycled polyester, and/or the first liquid material includes recycled nylon or degraded nylon.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSING MIXED TEXTILE FEEDSTOCK, ISOLATING CONSTITUENT MOLECULES, AND REGENERATING CELLULOSIC AND POLYESTER FIBERS
20230124761 · 2023-04-20 ·

Methods and systems of the present invention use mixed textile feedstock, which may include post-consumer waste garments, scrap fabric and/or other textile materials as a raw feed material to produce isolated cellulose and other isolated molecules having desirable properties that can be used and be used in the textile and apparel industries, and in other industries. A multi-stage process is provided, in which mixed textile feed material is subjected to one or more pretreatment stages, followed by at least two pulping treatments for isolating cellulose molecules and other molecular constituents, such as polyester. The isolated cellulose and polyester molecules may be used in a variety of downstream applications. In one application, isolated cellulose and polyester molecules are extruded to provide regenerated cellulose fibers and regenerated polyester fibers having desirable (and selectable) properties that are usable in various industrial applications, including textile production.
