Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste textiles, and specifically relates to a method for recycling and reusing dyes in waste fabrics. Background Technology

[0002] Denim clothing, with its rugged, simple, and free-spirited style, is widely loved by consumers. With economic development and improved living standards, the demand for denim clothing is increasing, and consequently, the amount of discarded denim is also rising year by year. According to relevant data, my country generates over 26 million tons of waste textiles annually, but its recycling rate is less than 20%, with the recycling rate for discarded denim being even lower at less than 5%. Approximately 20% of discarded denim is typically discarded in landfills or directly incinerated. The incineration process also produces large amounts of carbon dioxide and toxic gases, causing serious pollution problems. Therefore, the recycling of discarded denim clothing is particularly necessary. Discarded denim contains a significant amount of dye, and recovering and reusing this dye is of great importance.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose a method for recycling indigo dye from waste denim. This method utilizes electrochemical technology to reduce the indigo dye in the waste denim and further electrochemically reduces and dyes the dye for reuse. However, this technology requires a reversible redox medium as an electron mediator, and involves large amounts of chemical reagents and electricity consumption, resulting in high recycling costs. Existing technologies also disclose an enzymatic decolorization method for indigo denim, which uses a horseradish peroxidase / hydrogen peroxide catalytic system to decolorize the denim. While this technology causes less fiber damage, its decolorization efficiency still needs improvement. Furthermore, existing technologies disclose a pigment or coating based on waste denim and its preparation method. This method involves cutting waste denim into shreds, grinding it using a ball mill, and then mixing it with a crosslinking agent, thickener, and water to prepare the pigment or coating. However, this method uses waste denim containing a large amount of residual cellulose and chemical reagents, which affects the performance of the pigment or coating. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Advantages

[0040] The present application adopts a green and environmentally-friendly mannanase enzymatic system to activate and pretreat the waste denim. The neutral mannanase cooperates with alkali metal complexes to swell the cellulose and hemicellulose on the surface of the waste fabric such as waste denim. Meanwhile, the alkali metal has an activating effect on the carbonyl group in the dyes on the waste fabric such as waste denim, which is more conducive to the separation of fibers and dyes in the next step. The electrocatalytic hydrogen reduction technology is adopted to electrolyze the waste fabric such as waste denim in a cathode electrolytic cell. The active hydrogen generated in situ on the cathode electrode of the electrolytic water reduces the reduced dyes on the waste fabric such as waste denim to soluble leuco form, so as to be detached from the fabric such as denim. Further, through sufficient oxidation, the dyes are converted into dyes insoluble in water. After flocculation, filtration and drying, the dyes are recycled. The molybdenum disulfide-based carbon felt catalytic electrode with low price, large specific surface area and excellent conductivity is used as the cathode material for electrocatalytic electrolytic recycling and treatment of the waste fabric such as waste denim. The heterogenization and synergistic effect of the active sites between the metal and non-metal in the catalytic electrode can greatly promote the adsorption of active hydrogen and dyes, and further promote the hydrogen reduction of dyes and improve the decolorization efficiency.

[0041] Compared with the traditional chemical decolorization process, the method for recycling dyes in waste fabric such as waste denim does not damage the structure of the dyes. After recycling, the dyes are further prepared into a pre-reduction solution through electrocatalytic hydrogen reduction, realizing the recycling use of the dyes. The performance damage of the waste fabric such as waste denim after decolorization is small, and the secondary reuse can be realized. The present application avoids the use of reversible oxidation-reduction medium in the traditional indirect electrochemical reduction decolorization, consumes less chemical reagent, has a short processing flow, a simple operation method, a high recycling efficiency, can significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution, and also reduces the comprehensive cost of production, is easy to realize industrialized production, and has a good application prospect.

Finally, 0.5 g of hydrogen peroxide is added into the cathode electrolyte, and the oxidation is carried out at 30°C for 45 minutes, then the pH value is adjusted to 7.5 by using glacial acetic acid, and then 0.5 g of alum is added and fully stirred, and after being placed for 2 hours, the cathode electrolyte subjected to the flocculation treatment is filtered, the filter cake is dried at 105°C, and finally the recovered indigo blue dye is obtained.

[0093] The specifications of the waste indigo blue jeans used in the examples are as follows: warp and weft yarn count 6s x 10s, warp density 237 roots / 10 cm, weft density 178 roots / 10 cm, fabric organization 3 / 1 right oblique, extra dark blue, width 150 / 155 cm (Guangdong Qianjin Jeans Co., Ltd.).

[0095]

[0096] Figure 1 As shown in the infrared spectrum of the recovered indigo blue dye obtained in Example 1 and the infrared spectrum of the standard indigo blue dye, it can be seen that the infrared spectra of the recovered indigo blue dye obtained by the treatment in Example 1 and the standard indigo blue dye are basically the same. Figure 4 As shown in the figure of the redox potential of the cathode electrolyte and the dye reduction rate in the process of the efficient electrocatalytic recovery treatment of the waste indigo blue jeans in Example 1, it can be seen that with the progress of the electrolysis process, the absolute value of the reduction potential of the dye gradually reaches the potential of the leuco form of the indigo blue dye, the indigo blue dye on the waste jeans is gradually reduced into the leuco form of the dye, and further forms a soluble leuco form sodium salt with sodium ions in the electrolyte to be detached from the jeans.

[0097] The K / S value and breaking strength of the waste indigo denim before and after the recycling treatment in different embodiments are shown in Table 1, wherein the K / S value of the waste indigo denim before the treatment in each embodiment is 18.7532, and the breaking strength is 1319.8 N. The mass of the indigo dye recovered, the decolorization rate and the strength retention rate in different embodiments are shown in Table 2.

[0098] In the embodiments 1, 2 and 3, the effects of the neutral mannanase on the dye decolorization and recycling treatment of the waste denim are compared, and it can be seen that after the waste denim is activated and pretreated by the mannanase enzyme system, the recycling efficiency of the dye and the decolorization rate are higher. The neutral mannanase cooperates with the alkali metal complex to swell and loosen the cellulose and hemicellulose on the surface of the waste denim, and the alkali metal has an activating effect on the carbonyl in the mannanase and the dye on the waste denim, which is more conducive to the separation of the fiber and the dye in the next step, and thus the recycling efficiency of the dye can be greatly improved. In the embodiments 1, 3 and 5, the effects of the synergistic action between the enzyme hydrolysis and activation pretreatment and the molybdenum disulfide-carbon felt electrocatalytic reduction on the dye decolorization and recycling treatment of the waste denim are compared, and it can be seen that the decolorization rate in the case of the synergistic treatment of the mannanase enzyme hydrolysis decolorization and the molybdenum disulfide-carbon felt electrocatalytic reduction is much higher than that in the case of the single use of the mannanase enzyme hydrolysis decolorization or the single use of the molybdenum disulfide-carbon felt electrocatalytic reduction, and the high-efficiency recycling of the dye in the waste denim can be realized under the synergistic action.

[0099] In the embodiments 1 and 4, the effects of the molybdenum disulfide-carbon felt catalytic electrode and the ordinary carbon felt electrode on the electrochemical decolorization and recycling treatment are compared, and it can be seen that after the molybdenum disulfide catalyst is loaded on the carbon felt, the decolorization efficiency of the dye on the waste indigo denim can be greatly improved. This is because the nanoscale metal phase molybdenum disulfide catalyst has excellent conductivity, which can greatly improve the electron mobility and ion diffusion rate on the surface of the electrode. In addition, the higher specific surface area of the catalyst shortens the ion diffusion path, and as the cathode material for the electrocatalytic electrolysis recycling treatment of the waste denim, the catalyst can greatly promote the adsorption of active hydrogen and dye, and thus improve the dye recycling efficiency.

[0100] In addition, from Figure 2 , it can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 that the high-efficiency electrocatalytic recycling treatment method of the dye in the waste denim according to the present application has the advantages of higher recycling mass of the dye, higher decolorization rate, higher strength retention rate, less use of chemical reagents, higher decolorization rate of more than 90%, higher strength retention rate, and can meet the requirements of the decolorization and finishing of the denim fabric, from Figure 3It can be seen that the denim fabric treated by the application has deeper color after electrocatalytic pre-reduction liquid dyeing, K / S is 15.7545, can reach 84.01% of the original dyeing depth, realizes secondary reuse, the application can significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution, also reduces the comprehensive cost of production, is easy to realize industrialized production, and has good application prospect.
