Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling and reutilization of waste polyurethane foam products, and in particular relates to a method for degrading waste polyurethane foam to recyclepolyether polyol. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: mixing and compounding low molecular alcohol and degradation auxiliary agents to form an alcoholysis solution; adding the waste polyurethane foam into the alcoholysis solution and carrying out degradation reaction; carrying out vacuum degassing treatment on degraded crude polyether to obtain recyclable crude polyether polyol. According to the method provided by the invention, the low molecular alcohol is used as an alcoholysis agent and various degradation auxiliary agents are added, so that the recycling ofthe waste polyurethane foam with different physical and mechanical properties is realized under a relatively moderate condition through reaction mechanisms of chemical alcoholysis and alkaline hydrolysis, and recycled polyether polyols with various viscosity and different hydroxyl values are obtained; the method has the advantages of low cost, simple technology, high recycling efficiency, greenness and environment protection and the like; different polyurethane foam recycling requirements are met, and the method can be stably applied to subsequent polyurethane foaming.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recovery and reuse of waste polyurethane products, and in particular relates to a method for degrading waste polyurethane foam and recovering polyether polyols. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent mechanical and physical properties, polyurethane foam is widely used in packaging, home appliances, construction, electrical and electronic, and automotive industries. It is estimated that about 12 million tons of polyurethane foam are needed every year and are increasing year by year. At the same time, a large amount of waste is generated. Therefore, the disposal of waste polyurethane foam has attracted more and more attention. [0003] At present, the processing methods of waste polyurethane foam mainly include the following types: The physical recycling method mainly adopts the pulverization and rebonding of polyurethane foam to realize the recycling and reuse of polyurethane foam. The recycli...
