Problems solved by technology

For the separation of plastics and fibers with a small density difference, it needs to go through many times of floating and sinking separation, the process is complicated, and the separation result is not pure.
And due to the influence of the shape and size of the material, the surface of the plastic is not easy to wet with water, and it will float on the water surface with air bubbles. It needs to be pretreated with a surfactant to make the plastic fully wet, which also makes the process complicated.
Moreover, the water washing, alkali washing, and drying before separation are completed by separate equipment, which requires large production investment, high product cost, complicated operation, and low production efficiency.

Embodiment 1

[0032] Analysis of the content of the mixture of polymers before separation:

[0033] Add xylene at room temperature to the sample, and obtain a PS true solution after treatment.

[0034] Add tetrahydrofuran at normal temperature to obtain a true solution of PVC after treatment.

[0035] Xylene at 75°C was added to obtain a true solution of LDPE after treatment.

[0036] Xylene at 85°C was added to obtain a true solution of LLDPE after treatment.

[0037] Xylene at 105°C was added to obtain a true solution of HDPE after treatment.

[0038] Xylene at 118°C was added to obtain a true solution of PP after treatment.

[0039] A true solution of PET was obtained after treatment with N-methylpyrrolidone at 160°C.

[0040] The content of each component of the above true solution can be measured by specific gravity method or viscosity method or refraction method or solid content method.

Embodiment 2

[0042] Separation of PS from polymer mixtures:

[0043] Add the pulverized high molecular polymer mixture into the soft net, hang the soft net on the porous inner liner, and feed nitrogen to make the oxygen content in the separation tower 3%. Use the first circulation pump to pump clean water from the liquid inlet, and circulate and wash through the water circulation circuit for 10 minutes to remove the silt on the surface of the mixture. After cleaning, stop the pump, open the drain valve under the drain port, and discharge the water from the drain port and drain pipe on the lower cover. Close the drain valve under the drain port. Then inject 3% sodium hydroxide solution from the liquid inlet with the first circulation pump, and circulate and clean it for 10 minutes through the alkaline water circulation loop to remove the oil on the surface of the mixture. After cleaning, stop the pump, open the drain valve under the drain port, and discharge the alkaline water from the dr...

[0045] Separation of PS and PP from the polymer mixture, which contains 30 kg of PS and 30 kg of PP:

[0046] Add the pulverized polymer mixture into the soft net, and then hang the soft net on the porous inner liner. Nitrogen is introduced to make the oxygen content in the separation tower 4%. The steps of water washing, alkali washing, neutralizing alkaline water and dehydration are the same as in Example 1, and the solvent used in the dehydration step is amyl acetate. The separation steps are as follows: inject 300 kg of amyl acetate at normal temperature from the solvent inlet with the second circulation pump, and circulate the amyl acetate in the solvent circuit for 30 minutes to dissolve the PS therein. When it is detected that the PS is completely dissolved, the valve leading to the PS solution tank is opened to collect the PS solution to obtain a true solution of PS. The pipeline is then flushed with amyl acetate, and the flushing solution enters the PS solution tank...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for physical purity separating the discarded polymer compound, which comprises: importing nitrogen into a knockout tower, controlling the oxygen content, putting the abandoned compound of polymer in the knockout tower, adding the corresponding dissolvents using a circulating pump according to the different temperature for dissolving in single dissolvent by different polymer or the different dissolvability for dissolving in different dissolvents by different polymer, and making the said dissolvent cycle in the knockout tower and dissolve completely, collecting the solution of the polymer and getting the true solusion of the polymer. The invention also discloses a separation facility, in which a plurality of operational process are finished such as water scrubbing, alkali washing, water scrubbing again, dewatering, dissolution and separation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating a mixture and a separation device used therein, more specifically, to a physically pure separation method and a separation device for a waste high molecular polymer mixture. Background technique [0002] Currently. Waste polymers in urban waste are mainly plastics or fibers made of ten kinds of resin materials, they are PS, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PVC, PET, PC, PAN, ABS, HIPS, etc. These resins exist in Household appliances, agricultural and industrial and commercial films and fabrics, transfer boxes, packaging bags, carpets, plastic doors and windows, tapes, disks, foam packaging materials, and temporary shelters, houses, etc., a large part is called "white pollution" , is a big public nuisance, the proportion of these polymers in waste polymers in urban and rural areas is roughly: PS 10%, LDPE 20%, HDPE 21%, PP 16%, PVC 13%, PET 12%, The other 7%. These high-molecular polymers are mixed together, and the ut...
