Description of the Related Art The resin most widely used as a plastic lens for spectacles is a resin whose main component is diethylene glycol bisallyl carbonate (hereinafter referred to as DAC), and is generally molded by a cast polymerization method. Target. In cast polymerization, a resin monomer is injected into the cavity of a molding mold consisting of a glass molding die and a gasket, and the temperature is controlled by an electric furnace or the like to carry out the polymerization. Then, after the polymerization is completed, the gasket is removed and the molded lens is peeled off from the mold. Since the DAC is anaerobic during this mold release work, unreacted monomer on the outside of the mold that has adhered or leaked during the injection work may adhere to hands or jump, which hinders the work. In addition, unreacted monomers, oligomers, polymers, components bleeding out from the gasket, and many plastic molding materials adhere to the molded product after polymerization.

In addition, since the washing step including the surfactant requires a rinsing step with water or the like, there is concern that the drainage may affect the environment. Then, the objective of this invention is providing the manufacturing method of the plastic lens using the cleaning agent which replaces these cleaning agents mentioned above, and the cleaning method using the cleaning agent.

The glycol ether and water are recovered by distillation, and those not distilled are discharged as waste liquid. The distillation is preferably carried out at a reduced pressure of 40 mmHg or less at 50 to 200 ° C., and the glycol ether and water recovered by distillation are sent to the regenerant tank 44. As for the degree of reduced pressure during distillation, when the degree of reduced pressure is high, it is possible to distill at a lower temperature, and when the degree of reduced pressure is low, a high liquid temperature is required.

内に残留物として残り、廃液として排出される。To regenerate the cleaning agent, an oil / water separation system or a distillation regeneration system is generally used. The oil-water separation method is
This is a method that utilizes the difference in affinity and the specific gravity difference between the waste and the cleaning liquid, but it is difficult to remove 100% of the waste, and if the waste is completely dissolved in the cleaning liquid, it cannot be separated. The DAC used in the present invention is almost dissolved in a mixed solution of glycol ether and water. On the other hand, the distillation regeneration method as opposed to the oil-water separation method is a method utilizing the boiling point difference between the cleaning liquid and the waste, and when the boiling point difference between the cleaning liquid and the waste is small, or when the boiling point of the waste is lower, it cannot be used. However, if the boiling point difference is large, complete separation is possible. As the distillation regeneration method, a reduced pressure method is preferably used for the distillation regeneration. Distillation under reduced pressure lowers the boiling point of the cleaning solution and requires less heat for distillation. Also, reducing the pressure reduces the oxygen concentration in the distillation pot, so it contains hydrocarbon solvents. Even if the substance has a flash point or a substance that has a flash point during distillation, there is an advantage that the risk of ignition is reduced and the safety can be maintained. Moreover, the boiling point of DAC, which is a raw material for the lens molded article produced in the present invention, is 16.6 ° C. at 2 mmHg, and the difference in boiling point from glycol ether is large, so that the distillation regeneration method can be used. By carrying out the distillation regeneration, the cleaning liquid component can be distilled and reused, and the waste liquid remains in the distillation pot as a residue and is discharged as a waste liquid.

Furthermore, by providing these tanks, it is possible to compensate for the amount of liquid evaporated from the cleaning tank and to use the liquid for a long time without replenishing the liquid.

いき、洗浄液の循環サイクルが形成される。Since the boiling point of water is different from that of glycol ether, which is a cleaning component, it is effective to install a water content adjusting tank for distillate. Further, this water content adjusting tank not only serves to balance the water content, but also serves to adjust the unevenness of the amount of the distilled regenerated liquid over time. Moisture meter in the regenerant tank
The water content of the regenerant is controlled at 45, and is controlled so that it does not fall below a certain level. This is to prevent the risk of flammability of glycol ether, which is a component of the cleaning liquid, and is preferable as a practical measure as a safety measure in a lens mass production factory. And from the regeneration tank 44 to the pulling tank
The regenerant is sent to 2 and replenished. The replenishment is controlled by a valve with a flow meter. And the raising tank
The replenishing liquid overflows from 2 and is supplied to the cleaning tank 1 to form a circulation cycle of the cleaning liquid.
