Embodiments relate to a process for regenerating a polyester container and regenerated polyester chips prepared therefrom. The process comprises preparing a polyester container provided with a heat shrinkable film; crushing the container provided with the heat shrinkable film to obtain flakes; and thermally treating the flakes to produce regenerated polyester chips, wherein when the flakes are thermally treated at a temperature of 200° C. to 220° C. for 60 minutes to 120 minutes, the clumping fraction is 5% or less, and the flakes comprise first flakes obtained by crushing the container and second flakes obtained by crushing the heat shrinkable film. It not only solves the environmental problems by improving the recyclability of the polyester container, but also is capable of enhancing the yield and productivity.

A method for processing a mixture of recycled polyester material and a polyester prepolymer from a polyester manufacturing process, wherein a recycled polyester material is mixed with a polyester prepolymer, from a polyester manufacturing process, and treated in a bulk thermal treatment reactor (7) with a process gas which flows in a counter-current or a cross-current flow direction to the flow direction of the mixture. In this process, the process gas, before entering a catalyst vessel (14), is passed through a protective bed (11) containing a solid adsorbent material that removes high-boiling organic substances or organic substances, with a high combustion temperature, from the process gas stream.

A hopper for feeding previously-mixed virgin and crushed plastic materials into the throat of a barrel of an injection unit of a plastic injection molding machine, the hopper comprising a rotating auger extending longitudinally preferably in the center of the hopper from an upper area to a lower area within the hopper. The rotating auger rotates in the same direction as the flights of the auger such that the auger's flights continuously lift up the materials from the bottommost area of the hopper to an upper area of the hopper, thereby minimizing the coagulation of the materials in the lower areas of the hopper.

A liquid polymer or chemical activation system, having a chamber; a top cover plate, a middle cover plate and a bottom cover plate; wherein such configuration creates a hollow space inside the chamber that is flanked by the top cover plate and the bottom cover plate; a hybrid pump blending reactor having a progressive cavity pump and one or more inlets for receiving first and second substances; an upper multistage mixing cup configured to receive the first and second substances from the hybrid pump blending reactor; at least one high shear mixer for mixing the first and second substances; at least one submersible actuator for actuating the high shear mixer; an intermediate blending section for receiving the mix of first and second substances from the upper multistage mixing cup; a lower multistage aging cup for further mixing of the first and second substances; and at least one outlet on the bottom cover plate for releasing the mix of first and second substances.

The invention, belonging to the field of biological treatment of pollutants and functional materials, presents a method for the preparation of biofilm carrier with biochar fixed by thermoplastic resin. Extrusion grade polyethylene/polypropylene particles are used as the basic material. One or some combination of plant biochar, straw biochar, rice husk biochar, shell biochar, excess sludge and animal waste biochar are used as the functional material. The biofilm carrier with biochar fixed by thermoplastic resin is prepared by the screw extrusion process, which is a simple, flexible and controllable method, and possesses strong adaptability. The reactor with these biofilm carriers has high removal efficiency of refractory organic pollutants.
