The invention relates to the technical field of fabric recycling and reusing, in particular to a process for degrading
colored waste PET fabric and recycling BHET, which comprises the following steps: S1, mixing a composite catalyst, the
colored waste PET fabric and
ethylene glycol, adding into a reaction kettle, heating to 150-165 DEG C, controlling the pressure in the kettle to 0-0.2 MPa, carrying out
degradation reaction for 2-6 hours, and filtering to remove insoluble impurities after the
degradation reaction is finished, so as to obtain a
mixed solution; an alcoholysis solution is obtained; s2, decolorizing the alcoholysis solution obtained in the step S1 through a multi-stage resin tank to obtain a mixture containing
ethylene glycol and a product; and S3, mixing the mixture obtained in the step S2 with deionized water, heating to 95-100 DEG C, cooling to 70-80 DEG C after the mixture is completely dissolved, continuously stirring for 1-3 hours, carrying out hot
filtration to obtain filtrate A and a
solid A, continuously cooling the filtrate A to-10 to-5 DEG C, stirring for 8-12 hours, filtering to obtain filtrate B and a
solid B, and
drying the
solid B to obtain the BHET. The process disclosed by the invention is relatively good in decolorization efficiency on the
colored waste PET and high in BHET yield, and meanwhile, the
solvent can be efficiently recycled, so that resource waste is reduced.
