A method of producing a chemical pulp from a textile material which comprises cellulose for manufacturing regenerated cellulosic molded bodies, wherein in the method the textile material is comminuted, at least a part of non-fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material is separated from fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material, at least a part of non-cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents is mechanically separated from cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents, at least a further part of the non-cellulosic fibers is chemically separated from the cellulosic fibers, and producing regenerated molded bodies from the chemical pulp based on the cellulosic fibers after mechanically separating and chemically separating.

Methods and equipment for the recycling of carpet are disclosed that produce a clean fiber product suitable for industrial use. The methods allow the recovery of face fiber material, for example a polyester, polyolefin, or a polyamide, from carpets that includes a face fiber material, a polypropylene backing material, and an adhesive, and include the steps of mechanically impacting the carpet to break the bonds between the adhesive and the fibrous components, treating the fibrous components to remove adhesive granules from the fibrous components, and optionally separating the polypropylene backing from the face fiber. A clean adhesive/calcium carbonate product can also be produced from this process.

Method for recycling composite ropes, the method comprising a step of identifying (SO) the type of rope and at least one step of separating components comprising one or the other of the following steps /S1/,/S2/,/S3/,/S4/ as defined below: /S1/—a mechanical separation step, /S2/—a chemical separation step, /S3/—a thermal separation step, /S4/—a biological separation step and machine or installation for recycling composite ropes.

A method of recovering nitrile rubber from water-containing crumbs includes crumb-like nitrile rubber using an extruder in which a screw is disposed inside a barrel so as to be capable of being rotationally driven. The barrel is formed with at least a washing zone. The method includes supplying washing water to the washing zone at a water pressure of 0.2 MPa or higher while mixing the crumb-like nitrile rubber and the supplied washing water in the washing zone, thereby washing the crumb-like nitrile rubber.

A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.

The invention concerns a heating apparatus for recycling metal work pieces such as pipes, stacks, tanks and chutes which are lined and/or coated with materials such as rubber, neoprene, polyurethane or plastic. The heating apparatus applies heat to metal work piece to the point where the adhesive bond between the metal work piece and the rubber, neoprene, polyurethane or plastic is broken. An anti-ignition re-usable bladder is fitted inside a metal work piece to prevent ignition of the liner and/or coating and eliminate or significantly reduce the release of gases from the liner and/or coating during the heating process.

A substrate processing apparatus for separating an electronic component from a substrate with the electronic component attached to an upper surface includes an upper surface processing device that separates the electronic component from the upper surface of the substrate. The upper surface processing device has an upper surface processing transporter that transports the substrate from an upstream side to a downstream side and an upper surface rotary blade that separates the electronic component from the upper surface of the substrate. The upper surface processing transporter has a sixth belt conveyor on the upstream side and a seventh belt conveyor on the downstream side, the sixth and seventh belt conveyors being located below the upper surface rotary blade and aligned in a transport direction. The upper surface rotary blade has a downstream portion facing a gap between the sixth belt conveyor and the seventh belt conveyor.

A system and method are for separating the layers of multilayer plastics, the fragments of multilayer plastic being carried into a receptacle (1) pressurized for 10 to 60 seconds. The receptacle is pressurized using overheated vapor generated in a boiler and introduced into the receptacle until reaching a pressure between 1 and 12 bar and a temperature between 100 and 191.12° C. The fragments are then carried to a discharge tank at a relative pressure between −0.7 and 0.1 bar and at a temperature between 15 and 25° C. for between 1 and 5 minutes. The multilayer fragments are later transferred to a mechanical separation unit where the fragments are separated into fragments of single-layer plastic and, lastly, to a mechanical sorting unit where the fragments are sorted by material.

What is presented is a filter for plastic material, in particular a device that filters recycled plastic material, to clean it of extraneous bodies and foreign elements by means of several filtration units within a single body.

A recycling method is applied to a solar cell module which includes a cover glass, an electric cell layer, and a sealing material which closely adheres the cover glass and the electric cell layer. The recycling method includes heating an interface between the cover glass and the sealing material to a prescribed temperature range; and applying a force from a side surface of the solar cell module to the sealing material with the interface maintained at the prescribed temperature range, to peel off the sealing material and the electric cell layer from the interface thereof.
