Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for cleaning plastics which have at least one polymer and at least one solid component which is insoluble in the polymer in the form of very fine particles.
- engineering plastics contain soluble constituents, for example plasticizers, soluble dyes, stabilizers, and also solid constituents which are insoluble in the polymer, such as talc, calcium carbonate and some color pigments, for example titanium oxide. Objects made from these engineering plastics are often also printed, the color mixtures used for the printing also containing insoluble pigments.
- these various insoluble particles are distinguished, inter alia, by the fact that they have small particle sizes, some of which are below one micrometer. Such particles with a particle size of this order of magnitude are referred to in the application as "very fine particles".
- plastics for example from the collection of the yellow sack or the yellow bin of the Dual System Germany, produces, among other things, regranulates which, after melting, are removed from insoluble solid components by screen changers and then granulated.
- insoluble solid constituents are in particular insoluble polymers of higher melting temperature, thermosets, paper and aluminum.
- the aforementioned fine particles cannot be removed or can only be removed incompletely because of their small grain size.
- Recyclates or regranulates therefore usually have a typical black-gray coloration, which results from the large number of insoluble color pigments. Melt filtration is therefore not sufficient to obtain polymers that are largely free of fine particles.
- WO 91/03515 describes a process in which polymer mixtures are selectively dissolved, with insoluble constituents remaining after a solid-liquid separation. Even if it is assumed that a large part of the very fine particles are contained in this residue, the disadvantages of the known method are obvious. Due to the high viscosity of the swollen polymer residue, which is not dissolved, separation is only possible if the dissolution times and / or high solvent consumption are not technically expedient. In particular, the process for composite materials fails.
- the solution is cooled to a second temperature at which a partial amount of the or at least one polymer or the polymers precipitates with the incorporation of very fine particles, the partial amount containing the very fine particles is separated from the solution with a reduced proportion of fine particles and the remaining amount of the polymer or Polymers are obtained from the solution.
- a liquid precipitant is also added to the solution in an amount such that the very fine particles are incorporated.
- the first temperature mentioned is set depending on the solvent used.
- the precipitant used is a solvent which is at least partially miscible with the solvent or solvent mixture used to dissolve the plastic.
- the addition of precipitant reduces the solvency of the mixture which then forms, which causes the precipitation.
- this precipitation can be improved further by bringing the solution to which the liquid precipitant has been added to a third temperature which is lower than the first temperature. The same effect can be achieved by adding a cold precipitant.
- the concentration of polymer in solution should more preferably be set to 2 to 25% by weight, still more preferably 5 to 20% by weight.
- the precipitation is stopped in both alternative methods if the desired fine particles have been sufficiently separated from the solution. This can be determined, for example, using optical methods after sedimentation of the precipitated polymer.
- the precipitated portion preferably contains at least one polymer in enriched form, preferably in a purity of more than 80% by weight, particularly preferably in a purity of more than 90% by weight and even more preferably in a purity of more than 95% by weight. -%.
- the remaining amount remaining in solution preferably also contains a polymer in enriched form, preferably in a purity of greater than 80% by weight, particularly preferably in a purity of greater than 90% by weight and even more preferably in a purity of greater than 95 wt .-%.
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- HDPE high density polyethylene
- PP polypropylene
- Aliphatic, aromatic or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, esters, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, water, dimethylformaid, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, N-methylcaprolactam or mixtures thereof are used as solvents or precipitants, the Compatibility criterion between solvents and precipitants must be observed.
- the method according to the invention is particularly preferably used for recycling plastics.
- the invention will be explained in more detail below with the aid of examples.
- the mixed plastic from the collection of the Duales System GmbH which contains LDPE, HDPE and polypropylene, is dissolved in petroleum petrol (Riedel-de-Haen, 24551) at 150 ° C for two hours. After the coarse material has been separated off by filtration at 150 ° C., a gray solution remains which, in addition to LDPE, HDPE and polypropylene, also contains the fine particles contained in the mixed plastic. By lowering the temperature to 70 ° C, part of the mixed plastic, which is rich in HDPE and polypropylene, fails. The filtrate obtained after a further hot filtration is green-yellow and largely particle-free; the filter cake is gray and contains the finest particles.
- the mixed plastic which contains polystyrene, LDPE, HDPE and polypropylene, is dissolved in xylene (Merck, 818754) at 130 ° C for at least two hours. After the coarse material has been separated off by filtration at 130 ° C., a gray solution remains which, in addition to polystyrene, LD polyethylene, HD polyethylene and polypropylene, also contains the fine particles contained in the mixed plastic. By lowering the temperature to about 50 ° C, part of the mixed plastic, which is rich in LDPE, HDPE and polypropylene, fails. The filtrate obtained after a further hot filtration (at 50 ° C) is green-blown and largely particle-free; the gray filter cake is very rich in LDPE, HDPE and PP and contains the finest particles.
- xylene Merck, 818754
- the mixed plastic which contains polystyrene, LDPE, HDPE and polypropylene, is dissolved in xylene (Merck 818754) at 130 ° C for at least two hours.
- a fourfold excess of petroleum gasoline (Riedel-de Haen, 24551) is added to the filtrate thus contained.
