The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling of waste blended textiles, and particularly discloses a method for oxidative
depolymerization of waste blended textiles into alpha-hydroxy acid and
terephthalic acid, which comprises the following steps: adding waste blended textiles, a
solid acid catalyst and a reaction solution into a catalytic reaction kettle, filling a certain amount of air and / or
oxygen, and reacting for 2-4 hours; the method comprises the following steps: adding alpha-hydroxy acid into a reaction kettle, heating to a specified temperature, stirring, carrying out selective oxidative
depolymerization, after the reaction is finished, filtering, concentrating, separating and purifying the product to obtain
terephthalic acid,
glycollic acid and
lactic acid, and taking
terephthalic acid and alpha-hydroxy acid as
depolymerization products of blended textiles and also as catalysts to participate in depolymerization of blended textiles. According to the method, the
autocatalysis process of depolymerization conversion of the waste blended textiles is achieved, the product composition is simple and easy to recycle, carbon atoms in the raw materials are fully utilized, the requirement of
green chemistry is met, depolymerization conversion of multiple components in the waste blended textiles is achieved through a one-pot method, the process steps are few,
economic benefits are high, and actual operation is simple.
