Problems solved by technology

At present, although there are many methods for recovering polystyrene, the method for high-grade and high-purity polystyrene that has commercial value is mainly the solvent recovery method. CN00108071.7 discloses a method for recovering polystyrene, but this The method is just to use solvent to carry out simple treatment to make it finalized, and then carry out the recovery method of cutting and granulating. It is difficult to effectively remove the organic impurities of waste polystyrene by using this method, so the quality of recovered polystyrene is low; CN1097196A discloses A regeneration method using recyclable solvents to dissolve waste polystyrene and then perform mechanical granulation, but this method has the disadvantages of long time consumption, complicated equipment, and high energy consumption; CN200510032267.X discloses a recycling method using limonene to recycle waste The method of polystyrene, but this solvent is expensive, does not have industrial value; CN200810058659.7 discloses a kind of recovery method that waste polystyrene is hot-pressed at low temperature, dissolved in a good solvent, and then melted and granulated. The disadvantage is that polystyrene may be decomposed to produce by-products during the low-temperature hot-press solvent and granulation process

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for functionally remolding waste polystyrene. The method includes the following steps of: preprocessing polystyrene foam, adding the preprocessed polystyrene foam to a water-fast organic solvent so as to dissolve the polystyrene foam into a polystyrene swelling body, adding the polystyrene swelling body to water containing a surface active agent, continuously stirring, heating, distilling and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain the finished product of polystyrene particle; and soaking the polystyrene particle in a foaming agent to obtain expandable polystyrene (EPS) particles. The used organic solvent is simple and is easy to recycle and reuse. The method not only can functionally remold the waste polystyrene, but also can conveniently prepare an antistatic black polystyrene particle and a magnetic polystyrene particle, overcomes the disadvantages of toxic solvent, high price, impure products, and the like of the traditonal method for functionally remolding the waste polystyrene and effectively solves the problem of environmental pollution caused by the waste polystyrene. The invention has the advantages of simple process of functionally remolding the waste polystyrene, low cost and high purity of product ingredients.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for functional remodeling and reuse of discarded chemical raw materials, especially a method for functional remodeling of polystyrene foam as raw material. Background technique: [0002] With the development of the plastic industry, the application of plastic products is becoming more and more extensive. The disposal of plastic waste has become a very difficult problem, and the white pollution it produces has become a global public hazard. Among various plastics, polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are the most widely used. Currently commonly used recycling methods: 1. Recycling styrene monomer, oil and asphalt by thermal decomposition; 2. Recycling polystyrene raw materials by melt extrusion; 3. Directly crushing into granules and adding them to new materials; 4. Recycling by solvent method ; 5 Use waste polystyrene to produce coatings, adhesives and other products. At present, although there are many m...
