Description

Method for preparing polyester chips by chemical recycling of waste polyester fibers
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of recycling of waste materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing polyester chips by chemical recycling of waste polyester fibers.
Background
Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester for short) is a semi-crystalline polymer material, and is the most main variety of thermoplastic polyester, commonly called polyester resin. The catalyst is prepared by the steps of synthesizing dihydroxyethyl terephthalate by the transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate and glycol or the esterification of terephthalic acid and glycol, and then carrying out polycondensation reaction. Together with PBT, are collectively referred to as thermoplastic polyesters, or saturated polyesters. The method is mainly used in the fields of textiles and plastics. The polyester raw material characteristics for spinning and plastics are different: such as viscosity, molecular weight, crystallinity, transparency, etc., both of which have been used in parallel. With the wide application of polyester materials in the fields of textile and plastics, waste textiles and waste packaging bottles formed after consumption are more and more used polyester materials. In China, about 2600 tens of thousands of tons of waste textiles are produced each year. About 200 ten thousand tons of the produced 950 ten thousand tons of old polyester bottle materials are low-value and low-quality bottles, boxes, sheets, shells, barrels, printing waste films and the like with miscellaneous colors, abnormal intrinsic viscosity, low melting point and the like. Because of complex components and large characteristic difference, no advanced scientific method for realizing high-value recycling is available at present. Because of its irreducibility, it places a great burden on the environment. At present, some low-end utilization and resource waste are caused, and waste textiles (mainly polyester clothes, leftover materials and the like), low-value low-quality old polyesters and other waste materials such as mineral water bottles, edible oil bottles, waste printing films, packing belts and the like are utilized to prepare regenerated colorless transparent Polyester (PET) slices, but the components of the old polyester waste materials are complex, the impurity content is high, and the intrinsic viscosity difference is large (0.4-0.9 dl/g).
The conventional method for regenerating the polyester is a pure physical method for sorting, crushing, cleaning and dehydrating and drying the waste polyester, and obviously, the physical method cannot remove the inherent non-polyester components and cannot modulate the intrinsic viscosity. At present, the preparation of the partially regenerated polyester chips generally adopts a micro-alcoholysis method, namely, a very small amount of ethylene glycol is adopted to carry out alcoholysis on polyester waste, but the addition amount of the ethylene glycol has great influence on the alcoholysis of the polyester waste: micro-alcoholysis is carried out on the regenerated polyester by adding ethylene glycol (0.5%) in a trace amount, and the effects of filtering out large insoluble external impurities and fine adjustment of intrinsic viscosity can be only achieved; for the polyurethane, nylon, cotton, printing ink on the printing film, nylon in the middle of the gas barrier bottle, PVC mixed in the sheet, a glue film and other materials contained in the waste cloth cannot be utilized. After the pretreatment of adding dihydric alcohol which is several times of the raw materials, the waste Polyester (PET) plastic is completely depolymerized, filtered, crystallized, sublimated (impurities such as spandex, chinlon, cotton, PVC, glue, heavy metal ions and the like are thoroughly removed), esterified and polymerized in a mode of completely depolymerizing the dihydric alcohol and alkane mixed solvent, and the high-purity colorless transparent polyester chip can be prepared, so that the search of a proper depolymerization method has important significance for recycling the waste polyester.
The inventor researches recycling waste Polyester (PET) from 2000, and searches a large amount of literature data and tests for a plurality of times, and finds that the yield of the polymerization after the depolymerization by a chemical method is not high, the yield is difficult to reach 70%, the cost is too high, so that the recovery by the chemical method is not economical, the improvement of the yield becomes particularly important, and the yield is not high.
Disclosure of Invention
The application aims to solve the problems that the recycling rate of the existing regenerated polyester technology is low, the reaction is incomplete, and the existing regenerated polyester technology cannot be applied to waste cloth. In view of the above, the present application provides a method for preparing waste Polyester (PET) plastic, which makes the purity of polyester chips high and can prepare various high-quality polyester plastic products.
In order to solve the technical problems, the application adopts the following technical scheme:

B. mixing the polyester reclaimed material with an initiator, dihydric alcohol and an alkane-like solvent, and heating and pressurizing to carry out depolymerization reaction to obtain a polyester depolymerization solution;
C. cooling and filtering the polyester depolymerization liquid, cooling and crystallizing, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain polyester monomer BHET particles;
D. drying the polyester monomer BHET particles, and performing sublimation desublimation to obtain BHET powder;
E. and polymerizing the BHET powder to obtain the colorless transparent polyester chip.
Through intensive research and repeated experiments, the application can remove attachments and spandex on the surface of Polyester (PET) waste, nylon, PVC, pigment, printing ink, gray soil and the like without damaging and losing the Polyester (PET) material through simple pretreatment, and secondly, the application prevents reverse reaction in the depolymerization process by mixing excessive alkane-like solvent in dihydric alcohol, and at high temperature, part of depolymerized BHET is continuously transferred into alkane-like solvent phase along with the progress of the reaction, the proportion of PET-oligomer/EG is reduced, and balance is transferred to depolymerization. An additional advantage of the alkane-like solvent is the ease of separation of excess EG and purity of the product, since most degradation products dissolve in the alkane-like solvent phase. The product was extracted with hot water and then crystallized to obtain mainly monomeric BHET, which showed that the yield reached 97% to complete the present application.
Preferably, in the step B, the addition amount of the initiator is 0.2-0.5wt% of the polyester reclaimed material, and the mass ratio of the total amount of the dihydric alcohol and the alkane-like solvent to the polyester reclaimed material is 2-8:1; the mass ratio of the dihydric alcohol to the alkane-like solvent is 1:3-5.
Preferably, in step a, the preprocessing includes: and (3) carrying out contact reaction on the waste polyester fibers and the pretreatment solution in a heating state to obtain the polyester reclaimed material.
