Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a process for recovering polyester. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for recovering polyester component and products of non-polyester component from an article comprising a polyester blend.
  • Polyesters and its blends with various substances such as cotton, silk and viscose find applications in various articles such as apparel, home furnishings, upholstery, containers, carpets and the like owing to their flexibility and a range of desirable properties.
  • Waste or used polyester is either burned or buried in landfills. These methods, although common in practice, are enormous detrimental to the environment. This is because the microorganisms present in the soil are unable to degrade the polyester which causes its accumulation in the soil. Such accumulated polyester mars the growth and development of the flora and fauna present in the sub-soil environment thereby disturbing the ecological balance.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,959 discloses a process for recycling polyester/cotton blends by subjecting the blends to a first alcoholysis in a bath containing an alcohol and an effective catalyst such as sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate at a suitable temperature until the polyester is depolymerized into a lower molecular weight polyester oligomer.
  • Cotton fibers are removed from this alcoholic solution of oligomers and are further processed by pulping and acetylyzing processes to recover the cellulose acetate.
  • the low molecular weight polyester oligomers are alcoholized yet again to produce the lower dialkyl ester of terephthalic acid.
  • the present disclosure provides a process for recovering a polyester component and products of non-polyester component from an article comprising a polyester blend.
  • the polyester blend comprises a polyester component and a non-polyester component and the polyester component is polyethylene terephthalate and the non-polyester component is at least one selected from the group consisting of cotton and viscose.
  • the process comprises hydrolyzing the article using at least one hydrolyzing agent to obtain a first mixture comprising the polyester component, the non-polyester component, optionally, products of the non-polyester component and the hydrolyzing agent, followed by incubating the first mixture with at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of cellulase and pectinase to further convert the non-polyester component into its products; thereby releasing the polyester component.
  • the step of hydrolyzing the article is carried out at a temperature ranging from 90 to 160° C. for a time period ranging from 10 to 90 minutes and at a pressure ranging from 5 to 25 psi.
  • the step of incubating is carried out in the presence of a buffer having strength ranging from 30 to 70 mM and pH ranging from 4.5 to 7.0 for an incubation period ranging from 20 to 50 hours at a temperature ranging from 40 to 60° C. and accompanied by stirring at a speed ranging from 150 to 250 rpm.
  • the butler is sodium citrate.
  • the present disclosure also provides a process for the removal of dye from the polyester blend.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates Scanning Electron Microscopy images of PET/Cotton (65:35) fabric blend after undergoing the process as disclosed in Example 6, wherein
  • FIG. 1A represents Control PET/Cotton (65:35) (untreated);
  • FIG. 1B represents PET/Cotton (65:35) after treatment with 4% Na 2 CO 3 and 5 g/L of enzyme
  • FIG. 1C represents PET/Cotton (65:35) after treatment with 4% Na 2 CO 3 and 10 g/L enzyme.
  • FIG. 1D represents PET/Cotton (65:35) after treatment with 0.5% NaOH and 5 g/L enzyme.
  • FIG. 1E represents PET/Cotton (65:35) after treatment with 0.5% NaOH and 10 g/L enzyme.
  • the word ‘article’ besides having its standard meaning, includes any product made up of a polyester blend and is selected from the group consisting of apparel, home furnishings, upholstery, containers, carpets, tubes, stripes and pipes.
  • the polyester blend is composed of a polyester component and a non-polyester component.
  • the polyester component is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the non-polyester component is at least one selected from the group consisting of cotton and viscose.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the article, before initiating the process described herein below, is optionally subjected to shredding.
  • the article is first hydrolyzed at pre-determined temperature, pressure and time duration using at least one hydrolyzing agent to obtain a first mixture.
  • the pre-determined temperature ranges from 90 to 160° C.
  • the time period for hydrolysis ranges from 10 to 90 minutes
  • the pre-determined pressure ranges from 5 to 25 psi.
  • the amount of said article taken during the step of hydrolyzing ranges from 1 to 5% with respect to the total volume of the hydrolyzing agent.
  • the hydrolyzing agent used is at least one alkali selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate and has concentration ranging from 0.1 to 5%.
  • the hydrolyzing agent used in the present process is water.
  • the process of hydrolyzing is carried out in an autoclave.
  • the first mixture that results from the step of hydrolyzing typically comprises a polyester component, a non-polyester component and the hydrolyzing agent.
  • the mixture may also optionally contain products of the non-polyester component as a result of the step of hydrolysis.
  • the first mixture is an eclectic mix which is a result of the reaction between the hydrolyzing agent and the non-polyester component.
  • the first mixture is optionally neutralized to wash off the hydrolyzing agent.
  • the present step of alkali hydrolysis may also be used to remove dye(s) when the non-polyester component of the article is dyed.
  • removal of dye from the article is achieved.
  • the first mixture is incubated with at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of cellulase and pectinase to further separate the non-polyester component from the polyester component.
  • at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of cellulase and pectinase to further separate the non-polyester component from the polyester component. This is achieved by means of the afore-stated enzymes which convert the non-polyester component into its products—an act which releases the polyester component
  • products of the non-polyester component includes the products or fragments of the non-polyester component obtained or left behind after the steps of alkali hydrolysis and/or enzyme treatment.
  • ‘products of the non-polyester component’ are the disintegration products of the non-polyester component.
  • the products of the non-polyester component of the present disclosure are carbohydrates.
  • the step of incubation with enzyme(s) is carried out in the presence of a buffer which is sodium citrate.
  • a buffer which is sodium citrate.
  • the strength of the buffer ranges from 30 to 70 mM and has pH ranging from 4.5 to 7.0.
  • the step of incubating is carried out for a time period ranging from 20 to 50 hours at a temperature ranging from 40 to 60° C., and is accompanied by stirring at a speed ranging from 150 to 250 rpm.
  • the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of cellulase and a combination of cellulase and pectinase.
  • the enzyme has a concentration ranging from 0.5 to 15 g/L.
  • the enzymes after employment in the present process may be recycled up to 3 times without losing much of their activity.
  • incubation with the afore-stated enzyme(s) results in further separation and release of the polyester component from the non-polyester component and both the, separated components are recovered and processed independently for re-use or for preparing value added products.
  • a characteristic feature of the present disclosure is that separation of the non-polyester component from the polyester component is achieved twice, first chemically during the hydrolysis step and second biologically using the enzyme(s). This causes effective separation and maximum recovery of both the components. It is significant to note that during both the afore-stated steps, the non-polyester component gets reduced to derivatives/products which can be processed independently to obtain value added products.
