Description

TITLE WASTE PLASTIC CONVERSION Technical Field
THIS INVENTION is a method to recycle indiscriminate waste plastics without the need of separation and a process of pre¬ paration of such wastes. Combining with other wastes that adds strength to the mixture of plasticβ and a system to per¬ form such process and an apparatus named INJECTRUSION to hand' le this indiscriminate plastic mixture and manufacture value added products.
BACKGROUND ART Recycling of waste plastics are widespread throughout the world. Plastics are reclaimed within the plastic industry they add regrounds to virgin plastics at a rate of 5 percentage. Companies developed sandwich techniques where up to 25% of the same plastic reclaim is utilized in production of bottles. Some σther methods use solvents to dissolve plastic waste and ex¬ truding it into pellets. The major impediments are the nu - merous plastic types that do not intermix like a jigsaw. The incompatibility of plastics means that the wastes have to be separated or at least selected for each blend. This adds to the cost of recycling and reusing. To deal with this problem intelligent identification systems have been developed. This is based on recognizing plastics with infra-red spectroscopy me- thod. The problem is still the need of separation. If there are two component wastes, for instance PET bottle and HDPE bottle - top; or plastic and paper labels the articles have to be discarded most often mannually taken out of the system. Although this separating system is working at accep¬ table level this is not the situation with industrial plastic wastes ; automobile plastic components or in general bulkier wastes and all other composite products* Coding systems int- roduced recently make those products easier to identify, but when they are joined with other materials (metal,paper,leather) they are currently dumped. Dumping of large quantities of plastics are widespread throughout the world complicating the problem by exporting the waste to third world countries. Recovering the waste plastics is around 30 - 38 per¬ centage, the bulk of these plastics are household packaging materials.
Indiscriminate plastic recycling is virtually non exis- tant. There are no recycling schemes anywhere for 60 % of plastic wastes.
Categories of plastics are vast and new families of plastics are created at an increasing rate.
More common plastics are: acetal, ABS, Acrylic, CP, HDPE LDPE, EPS, PA, PA6, PAG, PC, PΞ, Pi, PS, PUR, PVC, UC, UPVC, SAN, etc Products made from plastics that generate the wastes axe: furniture, flooring, containers, toiletries, shavers, television sets, phones, radios, casβttes, computers, hairdryers, cables, pipes power points, tools, vacuum cleaners, torches, food dishes, trays, glasses, shoes, goggles, clothes, swim flippers, packaging container scrapp cars,boats, toys, aviation parts, machine parts, space junk..
In general terms consumption of plastics worldwide is about 100 kg per head of population and is increasing at an annual rate of at least 5 percent. DISCLOSURE OP THE INVENTION
It has been found that waste plastics can be prepa¬ red for recycling and even blending with each other together with other wastes can be used in the manufacturing of value added products.
Aboundant waste thinners from paint companies, spray painters and chemically active plastics together with inert plastics can be blended and heated to form a new bond. The heating process partially de-polymerizes the plastics assisting new bond forming to take place under pressure.
In one form the invention comprises a method to use suitable thinners to be mixed with chemically active plas¬ tics like polystyrene, A3S, PVC. These thinners or solvents can be acetone, toluene, xylene, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phtha- late, tributyl Phosphate, butyl stearate and others.
The active plastics can form thick resins with the thinners that is a concrete like medium.
Inert plastics are granulated in the usual fashion and they are further micronized to fine particles. Mieroniza- tion is an important advantage. A better intermixing can be achieved and melting temperature is spread quicker through the medium.
The blend is loaded to its utmost potential. The plastic powders are thoroughly mixed into the resin. In some instances other wastes can be incorporated in the mix. They can only be fillers but can act as reinforcing agents ad - ding strenght to the final product.
Such fillers/reinforcers can be fine - fibre paper, shredded natural fibres, flyash, carbon black (from tyres)glass. 9
This specific blending method assures a homogeneous mix . The resin considerably increases the absorption of heat, assisting of the fast elimination of excess solvents.
As the melt temperature is selected at the highest melting point of a given plastic, partial depolimerisation takes place and thus the monomers of the various plastics interpolymerize and form a new bond. The lower melt tempe¬ rature plastics act like a cement glue that reinforce the molecules. During the heating the reinforcing fillers are coated with the plastics and assist in the interbonding.
In the absent of waste thinners virgin solvents and or other hydrocarbons can be used.
A typical blend can incorporate the following: waste thinners(including pigment contaminant)polystyrene waste, polypropelene, polyvinylcloride,flyash,fine-fibre paper. Another mix is made up of : waste thinners, polystyrene, ASS,HDPE, PP, glass reinforced ABS, carbon black and fine-fibre paper. Yet another preparation will contain: waste or virgin thin.- ners/solvents, ABS,PET, nitrile,flyash, copper dust, The combinations of the mixes could be varied according to the requirement of the product design.
The most important aspect of this recycling is that the plastics can be mixed in any quantity. This type of recycling system can be fully automated to handle all waste plastics, combine them with other fibrous waste and produce value added products. The invention includes in a further form an appara¬ tus for using the prepared plastic blend to manufacture plastic pipes of various thicknesses.
The apparatus is a combination of injection and ex- trusion machine. As the number of plastics have a variable heat softening point they also have a variable cooling/harde¬ ning time scale.
The pressurized melt-chamber will soften the plastic compound injecting it into a pipe cavity. As the cavity fills the inner support pipe is pulled within an outher support pipe. At this section the plastic pipe is being cooled. The walls of the newly made plastic pipe is sup¬ ported until the product is totally cooled off.
This apparatus is utilizing two combined methods of plastic production and it is named INJECTRUSION.
By changing the outher and inner support pipes' diameter all sizes of plastic pipes can be manufactured. Utilizing this techniques all types of products can be moulded from indiscriminate waste plastic blends. Articles that are manufactured from blends with injection techniques preferably have to have longer cooling cycles*

BEST MODE OF PERFORMING THE INVENTION
Referring to figure 1 there is disclosed various components used in a preferred method to prepare the plas- tics and thinners.
Specifically figure 1 discloses a chemical storage area(thinners) A . Above this area there is a fume extractor marked G attached to a condenser F which condenses and channels the liquid to liquid tanks D. The thinners are pumped through a filter. Pump being B and filter is marked C. The filtration does not remove fine particles of pigments only lumpy, foreign materials and soli¬ dified paint. Plastic "0" stockpile marked H is a stockpile of chemically active plastics , that is that these plastics dissolve in thinners. The compactor I transfers the plastics from stockpile H into liquid tanks D concentrating them . Pump B2 transfers the resin to a storage E„
The plastic "1 - infinite stockpile J contains all plastics available in the waste stream regardless of type, size, colour. This plastic pile is granulated by granulator K and then washed of liquid and other impurities by a mobile wash conveyor L» The granulated waste plastics are drained and dryed at system M. The water is filtered for reuse and solids co¬ llected at station S.
The plastics now advance to a pulverizer 0 where they are ground to fine powder which are stored in holding tank P, From this stock a mobile vacuum loader Q picks up the powder plastic and a weigh/mix station R will blendsftix the compound once more. The next stage of the process is a blending tank S where the ground plastics (and other fil- lers X ) are mixed blended with resin from storage E to its optimum loading potential. The blend is introduced to the compression chamber T where together with the heater unit U the plastic blend is compressed and heated to the designed melting point of 180 - 240^3. The heat can be sup- plied by oil - electrical element - infra red - microwave heat- source. The rotational moulder V is a fully automated in- jectrusion, injection or extrusion system. The innovative pro¬ perties of the injectrusion version will be explained in mo¬ re details on figure 3. The products : pipes and/or any plastic articles are stockpiled at storage station W.
Figure 2 is a diagram of indiscriminate plastic waste. A conveyor/feed hopper feeds this product to grinder and a secondary blender. After washing this grind the plas- tics are micronized/pulverized to fine powder of 20-45 micron size. This is a very important advantage for preparing a thouroughly mixed compound and assist in heating to penet¬ rate at a faster and even way. Figure 3 shows the injectrusion method developed for indiscriminate waste plastic recycling and in this diagram deals in particular with the manufacturing of pipes.
The lenght of the machine is equal to the outer support pipe t within this support sleeved support pipe 2. The outher support pipe 1 is stationary the inner pipe which covered with a sleeve in order to assist in demoul- ding is the sleeved support pipe 2 is attached to a ret¬ ractable wall 5 which is mobilized with the retractor screw 10 marked 6.
The fixed wall 14 the retractable wall 5 the outer support pipe 1 and the sleeved support pipe 2 form the pipe cavity into where the molten plastic 13 is extruded under pressure by the pressurized melt chamber 4. This is fed with 15 the plastic blend 12 by a vacuum evacuator 18 from the pro— duct container 11.
The pressurized melt chamber has an outlet 16 where excess solvent is bled off. In the event that the thin¬ ners are dried prior pressure melting the outlet is closed. 20. The drawn off thinners are colected as solvent at 17,
The sleeved support pipe 2- 6 meter long and for this reason and for stability it is supported with fixed supports 15.
As the pipe cavity3 is getting filled with plastic the retractable wall 5 pulls the sleeved support pipe 2 into 25 the outer support pipe 1 where the newly formed plastic pi¬ pe will be cooled. The cooling system Θ is situated in the support bench 00 under the outer support pipe 1. which is en¬ cased in a cooling jacket 7. Water is supplied by water pi¬ pes 19. The water is cooled and circulated in cooling tower TO The diameter of the outer support pipe 1 and the in¬ ner sleeved support pipe 2 can be varied accordind to the requi¬ rement of the plastic pipe to be produced. Alternately seve¬ ral fixed sized machines could opperate side by side, Figure 4 deals with the injectrusion of a plastic pipe. This was a trial where the actual intention was to accu¬ rately log the temperatures and the power.
Figure 5 shows the partial depolymerization and the subsequent interpolymerization of the monomers together with the glue like reinforcement of the fibres. On these pictures some cavities are visible they have developed due absence of bleeding outlets.
