Description of the Invention: - Technical Field to Which the Invention pertains The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for recycling liquid crystal in an waste panel, more particularly to a cyclic extraction method therein. [Prior Art] Liquid crystal displays have advantages such as thinness, light weight, low power consumption, no radiation pollution, and compatibility with semiconductor processes, and their usage, throughput, and waste have increased significantly. Although it is still unclear whether the liquid crystal is harmful, the incineration or burying of the waste panel without removing the liquid crystal may cause environmental pollution. Although the amount of liquid crystal used only accounts for 〇·1_0 2〇/〇 of the total weight of the panel, the panel glass cannot be recycled and reused due to regulations. At present, Taiwan is already one of the largest LCD producers in the world, and the Waste Eiectrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) announced by the European Union in 2003 has required manufacturers to sell. Recycling of things. It is foreseeable that there will be more and more discarded LCD panels in the next few years. If the liquid crystals can be taken out of the waste panel efficiently and the recovered liquid crystals can be reused, the environmental and economic effects can be achieved at the same time. In recent years, there have been patents related to the disposal of discarded panels. JP. 2001-337305 first removes the polarizing plate by hand tearing and cuts off the sealant portion, then breaks the panel, and then washes the liquid crystal in the panel with solvent to recover it. This method must first remove the polarizing plate and the frame glue, the process is complicated, and it takes a lot of solvent to remove the liquid crystal by rinsing. In JP2002-166259, the liquid crystal is dissolved in hot water, and the solution is cooled to room temperature to separate and recover the liquid crystal and water. However, according to the experiment of the inventors of the present invention, 1375587 -r *' found that the dissolution effect of hot water on most liquid crystals is very poor, and this method consumes a large amount of heat energy but cannot be efficiently recovered. ._ JP2002-254059 . In the method of electrical separation, after the waste panel is broken in water, the liquid crystal on the panel is eluted with a solvent. The liquid crystal is obtained by dissolving the liquid crystal by ultrasonic vibration or stirring, and then evaporating the solvent. When the method separates the waste panel by electrical separation, the encapsulating material is inevitably dissolved in the above solvent. Since this method does not mention the problem that the solvent for recovering the liquid crystal dissolves the encapsulating material, there is no mention of a method for purifying and recovering the liquid crystal, because the recycled liquid crystal material will contain a large amount of encapsulating material and cannot be directly used. TW 2004-04884 first removes the sealant, and then removes the liquid crystal by a solvent solution: or by a blow method or a centrifuge, and then removes the impurities in the liquid crystal by a vacuum distillation method or removes ions with an adsorbent to recover the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal recovered by this method needs to be added with a liquid crystal monomer in order to be the same as the original liquid crystal composition. This method must first remove the sealant on the panel to avoid contamination, and the way to purify the f crystal is column chromatography. The recovered liquid crystal material needs to be added with liquid crystal and the early body can be reused, which greatly increases the complexity of recycling the liquid crystal. With cost. JP2006-G896G5 removes the recovered liquid crystal product by column chromatography using a non-polar mixed organic solvent. The purification method of this method is column chromatography, which is difficult to use in a large amount of recycling, and the liquid crystal material after the recovery also needs to be added with a liquid crystal monomer. (4) G6· purchased 76 ° decompression heating to volatilize the liquid crystal and organic matter in the panel. The carrier gas, liquid crystal and other organic matter are separated by condensation. This method does not directly break the liquid crystal panel, and the method of heating under reduced pressure separates the liquid 2 and other organic substances (such as packaging materials) from the panel at the same time. This method does not mention the method of purifying and recovering liquid crystals, so the recovered liquid crystal material will contain a large amount of packaging material and cannot be directly applied. Some of the above methods are complicated in processing steps, some are only applicable to specific liquid crystals, some may change liquid crystal formulations, etc., and there are still many spaces for improvement in application. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for continuously recovering liquid crystals in waste panels, which can be applied to Most of the liquid crystal panels on the market are processed, and the liquid crystal impurities taken out are small and the formulation composition is unchanged. It can be reused only after being purified by the previously published liquid crystal purification method (patent of the Republic of China, patents 1282359 and 1297282). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for recovering liquid crystal in a waste panel, comprising: (1) disintegrating the waste panel after disintegrating the waste panel, so that the solvent dissolves the liquid crystal and the encapsulating material in the discarded panel to form an extraction (ii) cooling the extract to precipitate the encapsulating material, separating the encapsulating material from the extract, followed by filtering the adsorbent extract; (iii) heating the extract to form a vapor and condensing to form a recovery solvent; (iv) recycling The solvent is used to soak the fragmented waste panel to form an extract; and 0) repeating steps (ii) to (iv) until the liquid crystals in the panel are dissolved in the extract, and then removing the solvent to obtain a recovered liquid crystal. The invention also provides a device for recovering liquid crystal in a waste panel, comprising an extraction tank having a basic filtering function at the bottom of the extraction tank; a temperature control device located in the extraction tank or between the extraction tank and the filter adsorption device; the collecting tank having heating The device heats the collection tank; the first storage tank is located above the extraction tank and connected to the extraction tank; the second storage tank is located below the extraction tank and the filter adsorption device; and the condensation device is respectively connected to the collection tank and the first storage 6 8 1375587 The storage tank is located above the first storage tank and the collecting tank; wherein the extraction tank, the collecting tank and the second storage tank are respectively connected to the three-way valve by a pipeline, and the filtration-adsorption device is located between the extraction tank and the three-way valve. [Embodiment] The method for recovering the liquid crystal in the waste panel of the present invention is as shown in the flow chart of Fig. 1. First, after the waste panel is broken, the waste panel is soaked in a solvent to dissolve the liquid crystal of the waste panel to form an extract. The source of the discarded panel can be a scrapped product of the factory process, or it can be a recycled product after a period of use. The method for disintegrating the waste panel of the present invention is to directly disassemble the frame until only the liquid crystal cell portion is crushed, and it is not necessary to remove the encapsulating material such as the frame glue. In an embodiment of the invention, the fragmented liquid crystal panel has a chip size of less than 1 平方 square centimeter. The solvent suitable for use in the present invention may be a C6-10 alkane such as n-hexane, a C3_5 alcohol such as isopropanol, a C2_4 ether such as diethyl ether, a C3-5 ketone such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or pentanone, or a mixed solvent thereof. . It is noted that the present invention dissolves the liquid crystals in the waste panel by soaking rather than flushing. Due to the gap between the shredded waste panels, the flushing method will not allow the solvent to flow into the gaps to dissolve the liquid crystals, which will reduce the recovery efficiency. On the contrary, the immersion method can stably allow the solvent to flow into the above gap. In one embodiment of the invention, the solvent that soaks the fractured waste panel has a liquid level that is higher than the topmost waste panel. In one embodiment of the invention, the soaking time is between about 10 minutes and 1 hour. It is worth noting that the solvent in this step will also dissolve part of the packaging material. The extract is then cooled to provide a poor solubility in the extract.

After the solidified encapsulating material is separated from the extract by solid-liquid separation, the extract is filtered through an adsorption device to remove impurities of the non-liquid crystal component. In an embodiment of the invention, the cooling temperature is between about 10 ° C and -60 ° c. The step of filtering and adsorbing may be carried out by gravity only, or by inert gas pressure filtration, for example, using nitrogen, helium, argon or a mixture thereof having a purity of 99.99% or more. The adsorbed extract is then heated and filtered to form a vapor. The condensed vapor forms a recovery solvent which can be immersed again to form a second batch of the extract. After the second batch of the extract was cooled to precipitate the package material, the adsorbed extract was filtered. It is then heated again, condensed to form a recovery solvent, and used to soak the fractured waste panels. Repeat the above steps 2 to 10 times until no liquid crystal remains on the broken waste panel. Finally, the extract is heated and condensed to form a recovery solvent and stored in the storage tank, and only the recovered liquid crystal will remain in the collection tank. As a result, the final recovered liquid crystal has a higher purity and does not require a complicated purification process. The recovered liquid crystal is then removed and placed in a suction cabinet to allow a small amount of residual solvent to naturally evaporate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the solvent may be further heated to accelerate volatilization or the liquid crystal is dried by an inert gas to remove residual solvent. The appropriate inert gas is as long as the reaction does not occur during the drying process, such as high-purity nitrogen gas and helium gas. , argon or a mixture thereof. Since the present invention has been cooled before filtration and adsorption to precipitate the encapsulating material in the extract, and then the impurities are removed by the filtration adsorption step, the recovered liquid crystal after removing the residual solvent has a purity similar to that of the original material, and the recovery efficiency is as high as 95% or more. In the embodiment of the present invention, the properties of the liquid crystal are recovered: the formulation has almost the same composition as the commercially available liquid crystal, and can be directly purified to remove moisture and metal ions and reused without additional 8 1375587 to add a liquid crystal monomer. In addition to the above-described recovery method, the present invention also provides a recovery apparatus as shown in Fig. 2. The above recovery apparatus has an extraction tank 11, storage tanks 12 and 14, and a collection tank 13. The extraction tank 11 and the collection tank 13 are connected by a communication pipe 18A, and a filter plate 22, an on-off valve 43, and a filter adsorption device 15 are sequentially disposed below the extraction tank 11. The recovery unit also has a condensing unit 17 which is connected to the collecting tank 13 and the storage tank 12 by communicating pipes 18B and 18C, respectively. In an embodiment of the invention, the relative height of the collection tank 13 and the filter adsorption unit 15 can be adjusted to shorten the distance between the collection tank 13 and the condensing unit 17 (i.e., the length of the communication tube 18B). The shorter the length of the communication tube 18B, the less energy is required to recover the solvent. When the height of the collecting tank 13 is lower than that of the filter adsorption device 15, the filtered adsorbed extract liquid can flow into the collecting tank 13 by gravity. On the other hand, if the height of the collecting tank 13 is higher than that of the filter adsorption unit 15, the pump 16 is additionally connected to the three-way valve 29 and the collecting tank 13 to pump the extract to the collecting tank 13. In this way, the solvent can be first introduced into the storage tank 12 through the refill port 24. After the solvent flows into the extraction tank 11 through the on-off valve 42, the liquid crystal and the encapsulating material contained in the fragmented waste panel are dissolved. After the above-mentioned extract is cooled, it flows through the crucible 22, the on-off valve 43, the filter adsorption device 15, the three-way valve 29, the communication tube 18A, and the on-off valve 44 to enter the collection tank 13. The vapor generated by heating the solvent in the collecting tank 13 reaches the condensing device via the communicating pipe 18B. The condensed liquid droplets flow into the storage tank 12 through the communicating pipe 18C and the opening and closing valve 41, thereby achieving the effect of circulation. In addition to the addition of the solvent to the storage tank 12, the solvent may be added to the collection tank 13 via the rehydration liquid P25, and the circulation process is similar to the above. The above recovery device also has a storage tank 14 for storing the solvent of 1375587 after the end of the extraction, and a gas pressurizing device. The gas pressurizing device includes a gas-cylinder 31 and a gas pressure control device 33, and the rainers are connected by a communication pipe 32 for extracting the solvent by pressure filtration. The aforementioned air pressure control device can control the air pressure in the extraction tank 11 during pressure filtration, and the pressure filtration air pressure can be controlled at 〇~60 psi. Further, in the step of pressure filtration, the on-off valve 41 is closed to maintain the pressure of the extraction tank 11. After the end of the pressure filtration, the opening and closing valve 41 is opened to depressurize the extraction tank U. The extraction tank 11 has an inlet and outlet port 21 and a viewing window 23.

In the implementation of the present invention, the above-mentioned filter medium and adsorbent can be introduced into the collecting tank from the extracting solution 1375587 tank 11 in the extraction liquid, the sulphuric acid Is, the slashing acid Is, the boron > At 1300, impurities not belonging to the liquid crystal are removed. In an embodiment of the invention, the extraction tank 11 has a temperature control device to lower the temperature of the extract to precipitate the dissolved encapsulant to form a solid. In another embodiment of the present invention The temperature control device is disposed between the filter plate 22 and the filter adsorption device 15, and can achieve the above effects. In actual use, after the solvent is added to the storage tank 12, the waste panel is poured into the extraction tank 11 to form a waste panel. The extract, the extract is a solution of liquid crystal and solvent (containing a small amount of encapsulating material). First, the temperature of the extract is lowered by a temperature control device. Then, the gas is sent to the extraction tank through the communicating tube 32 through the gas cylinder 31 to pressurize the above. The extract liquid is controlled by the air pressure control valve 33 to pass through the filter plate 22 and the filter adsorption device 15 to remove impurities, and then enters the collecting tank 13 through the communication pipe 18A. The collecting tank 13 has a heating device 27 for heating. The extract is described so that the solvent forms a vapor and the liquid crystal remains in the collecting tank 13. The heating temperature of the heating device 27 depends on the boiling point of the solvent. The solvent vapor enters the condensing device 17 through the communicating tube 18B, and the liquid is formed after condensation. The drip through tube 18C flows into the storage tank 12. After the extract in the tank 11 to be extracted is cooled and filtered and adsorbed, it completely flows into the collecting tank 13, and then the opening and closing valve 42 is opened to cause the recovered solvent of the storage tank 12 to flow into the extraction tank 11 to be again Soaking the fragmented liquid crystal panel to form a second batch of extract liquid. The second batch of extract liquid is adsorbed by cooling and pressure filtration, and then flows into the collecting tank 13, and then heats and recovers the solvent. The above-mentioned cycle steps of soaking, cooling, filtering adsorption, and recovering the solvent The river proceeds to the fragmented waste panel without any residual liquid crystal. Finally, the solvent in the extraction tank 11 (without liquid crystal dissolved therein) does not flow into the collection tank 13 after the filtration adsorption, but flows into the storage tank μ. The collection tank 13 The recovered liquid crystal can be collected by the discharge port 26. In one embodiment of the invention, the extract/solvent inflow is controlled to the valve 29 by three 1375587. 13/storage tank 14. - The above-mentioned connecting tubes 18A, 18B, 18C, and 32 may be made of PTFE, stainless steel, or broken glass such as commercially available j>yrex 8. The above-mentioned extraction tank 11, collecting tank 13, and condensation The device π, the storage tanks 12 and 14 , and the filter adsorption device 15 are independent components and can be disassembled and assembled separately, which is beneficial to the subsequent equipment cleaning and maintenance. The liquid crystal recovered by the above recovery method and equipment contains few solvents, including The impurity ratio is extremely low' and the recovery efficiency is as high as 95% or more. In summary, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art. First, the present invention directly breaks the entire panel without removing the sealant in advance. The encapsulating material 'reduces the complexity of the recycling step. Secondly, the present invention dissolves the liquid crystal by immersion rather than rinsing to effectively increase the solubility of the liquid crystal and reduce the amount of solvent. In the third aspect, the present invention precipitates the encapsulating material in which the extract is dissolved by means of a cooling method, and the solid-liquid separation simplifies the purification step of recovering the liquid crystal. The final recovered liquid crystal is extremely pure and the formulation ratio is constant, and no need to add liquid crystal monomer can be directly applied to the industry through the previously published liquid crystal purification method. In order to make the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following detailed description of the embodiments will be described as follows: [Embodiment] Example 1 A pair of 15 discarded panels of a factory are used, and the use thereof is used. The liquid crystal is a twisted nematic type (TN-Q1 for short). After the fragmentation, acetone is used as a solvent for the naphthalene.

It is to be noted that the recovery apparatus of the first embodiment does not contain the temperature control means and the filter suction attachment means 15. First, a 1000 mL crushing panel was placed in the extraction tank 11 of 200_0 mL. Next, 3000 mL of acetone was introduced as an extraction solvent into the storage tank 12, and then the on-off valve 42 was opened to allow the solvent to flow into the extraction tank 11, and the panel was immersed for 30 minutes to form an extract. Then, the extract was filtered through a filter plate 22, and then passed to a collecting tank 13, and the collecting tank 13 was heated in a water bath at 90 ° C to form acetone in the extract to form a vapor. The acetone vapor is condensed by the condensing device 17 to form droplets flowing into the storage tank 12. After the extract liquid in the extraction tank 11 completely flows into the collecting tank 13, the opening and closing valve 42 is opened to allow the recovered solvent to flow into the extraction tank 11 for the next immersion. In the above cycle, each time the solvent is heated, distilled and condensed, soaked and crushed, and the filtration cycle time is about 45 minutes. The above process needs to be performed three times in total to complete one extraction. After the extraction is completed, the acetone can be removed for recovery. liquid crystal. The liquid crystal content is estimated to be 6.3 g, the actual recovery is 6.6 g, and the recovery rate is over 95%. The gas chromatography mass spectrometry (hereinafter referred to as GCMS) spectrum of the original liquid crystal is shown in Fig. 3, and its properties are shown in Table 1. The GCMS spectrum of the recovered liquid crystal is shown in Fig. 4. As can be seen from the comparison of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the above-mentioned uncontrolled temperature, filtered adsorption treatment of the recovered liquid crystal still has a lot of impurities. After the above-mentioned recovered liquid crystal is dissolved in acetone, it is treated by a -20 degree low-temperature cold precipitation and filtration adsorption device 15, and various impurities are precipitated and filtered and adsorbed, and the adsorbent used includes molecular sieve, alumina, borosilicate glass, etc. The GCMS spectrum is shown in Figure 5, and its properties are shown in Table 1. From the comparison between Fig. 5 and Fig. 3, it is understood that the impurity content of the recovered liquid crystal after the cold precipitation and the filtration adsorption treatment is drastically reduced.

In addition, in Example 3, the recovery amount was further enlarged to 670 discarded panels, and the liquid crystal content was estimated to be 670 g, and the actual recovery amount was 650 g, and the recovery rate was over 95%. The GCMS spectrum for recovering liquid crystals is the same as in Fig. 8 except that the recovery time is long. Furthermore, the recovered liquid crystals are further purified by the liquid crystal purification methods of 1282359 and 1297282, and then poured into the panel test piece for voltage maintenance ratio (VHR) test, and the new liquid crystal is poured into the panel test piece for numerical comparison. The above two test pieces were respectively subjected to a reliability test (long-time high-temperature baking, referred to as RA), and voltages were applied to the same two positions (center point and frame glue point) of the two test pieces before and after the test.
