Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for accelerating the degradation of waste polyester, and belongs to the technical field of recycling and reusing waste textiles. Background Art

[0002] Saving resources and protecting the environment are the problems that the world needs to solve together today, especially in the chemical fiber industry, which is highly dependent on petroleum resources and has a large volume and wide range. Among them, polyester is one of the most popular fiber materials in the world. In addition to being used as a textile fiber, polyester is often blended with other fibers. The blended fabric can not only retain the excellent mechanical properties of polyester, but also increase the performance of other fabrics, further improving the use scenarios of the fabric. With the improvement of people's living consumption level, the use cycle of textiles has been greatly shortened, the demand for textile fibers has increased rapidly, and various discarded textiles have continued to increase every year in the world, while waste textiles are rarely recycled and are mostly directly buried or incinerated. Since synthetic fiber textiles such as polyester are not easy to degrade, they are extremely harmful to the soil environment after being buried. In addition, textiles containing synthetic fibers will produce a large amount of toxic gases during the combustion process, causing air pollution. Therefore, the recycling and reuse of waste textiles, especially the recycling and reuse of polyester, can not only alleviate the current situation of resource shortage in the chemical fiber industry, but also reduce the pollution caused by chemical fiber textiles (such as polyester, etc.) to the environment, which has great economic and social benefits.

[0003] At present, the recycling technology of polyester in waste textiles is mainly based on chemical depolymerization of polyester. However, the depolymerization process of polyester fibers is often accompanied by harsh reaction conditions. It is generally necessary to carry out under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and strong acids, strong bases, heavy metals, etc. are also required as catalysts, which can easily cause corrosion to equipment, and excessive use of heavy metals will seriously harm the environment. In addition, since the depolymerization conditions of hydrolysis and alcoholysis technology are extremely harsh, for blended textiles, other blended fibers will also experience corresponding degradation. In order to avoid the impact of the degradation of these non-polyester components, it is particularly important to develop catalysts with mild reaction conditions, high catalytic activity, and improve the degradation method.

[0004] In addition, the patent application with publication number CN117964474A discloses a neutral hydrolysis method for waste polyester without waste liquid discharge, firstly, ethylene glycol is used to partially depolymerize PET in waste polyester textiles, impurities are removed, and purified partially depolymerized PET is obtained, and then hydrolyzed to produce terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and water. After decomposing polyester by this method, small molecular terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are obtained, and the application rate in polymer materials is relatively low. If a polyester degradation method for obtaining terephthalic acid glycol ester can be developed, it will be of great significance, because terephthalic acid glycol ester can be widely used in the fields of fibers, plastic bottles, films, etc., and the utilization rate is higher. Summary of the invention

[0055] Example 6

[0056] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the proportion of the photodegradation catalyst in Example 6 was 0.05%. The purity of the final product was 99%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 94%.

[0057] Example 7

[0058] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the proportion of the organic base catalyst in Example 7 was 0.4%. The purity of the final product was 99%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 96%.

[0059] Example 8

[0060] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the proportion of the organic base catalyst in Example 8 was 0.8%. The purity of the final product was 99%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 97%.

[0061] Example 9

[0062] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the proportion of the organic base catalyst in Example 9 was 1%. The purity of the final product was 99%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 97%.

[0063] Example 10

[0064] The broken polyester rags were added to methanol, the mass ratio of polyester rags to methanol was 1:1, and then 0.04% of the mass of polyester rags was added as a photodegradation catalyst nano zinc oxide and 0.4% of the mass of polyester rags as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). Under the condition of heating at 60°C, 20W ultraviolet light was used for photodepolymerization. The reaction was stopped after 120 minutes, and the undegraded polyester rags and catalyst were separated by hot filtration. The degraded filtrate was cooled and crystallized, wherein the cooling crystallization temperature was 5°C and the cooling time was 2h. The solid precipitated by cooling was filtered, separated, washed, and dried to obtain the final product, diol terephthalate. The purity of the final diol terephthalate product was 99%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 94%.

[0065] Embodiment 11

[0066] The broken polyester rags were added to methanol, the mass ratio of polyester rags to methanol was 1:2, and then 0.05% of the mass of polyester rags was added as a photodegradation catalyst nano zinc oxide and 1.0% of the mass of polyester rags was added.

[0069] It can be seen from the experimental results of the above examples 1 to 12 that the degradation rate of polyester can be accelerated by using the method of the present invention. Under appropriate degradation conditions, the degradation of waste polyester can be completely achieved within two hours, the degradation rate of polyester can even reach more than 97%, and the purity of terephthalic acid glycol ester is not less than 99%. The method for preparing terephthalic acid glycol ester by degrading waste polyester provided by the present invention can, to a certain extent, make up for the problems of high energy consumption, low degradation rate and low purity of the product in the prior art of polyester degradation. In addition, from the data comparison of Example 1, Example 6 and Example 12, it can be seen that when the mass ratio of the organic base to the photodegradation catalyst is ≥2.0, it is more conducive to the efficient degradation of polyester, because the appropriate proportion of the organic base and the photodegradation catalyst can form a coordination relationship, so that the photodegradation catalyst is evenly embedded in the organic base, which is more conducive to the efficient degradation of polyester in a suspended state in the degradation system. When the amount of the photodegradation catalyst is too much, the nano-scale photodegradation catalyst is easy to agglomerate in the degradation system, which ultimately affects the degradation effect. Therefore, the reasonable combination of the organic base and the photodegradation catalyst is more conducive to the efficient degradation of polyester.

[0070] Comparative Example 1

[0071] The polyester was degraded by the same method as in Example 1, except that no ultraviolet irradiation was performed in this comparative example 1. The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0072] The broken polyester rags were added to methanol, the mass ratio of polyester rags to methanol was 1:1.5, and then 0.03% of the mass of polyester rags was added as a photodegradation catalyst nano zinc oxide and 0.1% of the mass of polyester rags was added as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The reaction was carried out under heating conditions of 65°C, and the reaction was stopped after 120 minutes. The undegraded polyester rags and the catalyst were separated by hot filtration, and the degraded filtrate was cooled and crystallized, wherein the cooling crystallization temperature was 5°C and the cooling time was 2h. The solid precipitated by cooling was filtered, separated, washed, and dried to obtain the final product of terephthalic acid glycol ester. The purity of the final product was 97%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 88%.

[0073] Comparative Example 2

[0074] The polyester was degraded by the same method as in Example 1, except that no heating was performed during the degradation reaction in Comparative Example 2. The specific preparation process is as follows:

[0075] The broken polyester rags were added to methanol, the mass ratio of polyester rags to methanol was 1:1.5, and then 0.03% of the mass of polyester rags was added as a photodegradation catalyst nano zinc oxide and 0.1% of the mass of polyester rags was added as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). 150W ultraviolet light was used for photodepolymerization. The reaction was stopped after 120 minutes of reaction, and the undegraded polyester rags and the catalyst were separated by constant temperature filtration. The degraded filtrate was cooled and crystallized, wherein the cooling crystallization temperature was 5°C and the cooling time was 2h. The solid precipitated by cooling was filtered, separated, washed, and dried to obtain the final product, diol terephthalate. The conversion rate of the product was determined by measuring the mass of the final product. The purity of the final diol terephthalate product was 10%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 25%.

[0076] From the comparison of the experimental results of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, it can be seen that in the degradation process of polyester, simultaneous heating and illumination are more conducive to achieving efficient degradation of polyester, and the purity of terephthalate glycol ester can reach 99%. Because organic bases can quickly degrade polyester polymers into low molecular weight polymers, the introduction of photocatalysts can quickly degrade low molecular weight polymers into small molecular monomers under the synergistic effect of organic bases under the action of ultraviolet light, thereby improving the degradation rate and purity.

[0077] Comparative Example 3

[0078] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the amount of the photodegradation catalyst was reduced in Comparative Example 3, and the amount of the photodegradation catalyst in Comparative Example 3 was 0.01% of the mass of the polyester rags. The purity of the final terephthalate glycol ester product was 98%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 90%.

[0079] From the comparison of the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that if the amount of the photodegradation catalyst is reduced, the depolymerization efficiency is reduced in the subsequent depolymerization process of the low molecular weight polyester, resulting in a reduced degradation conversion rate.

[0080] Comparative Example 4

[0081] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the amount of organic base used in this comparative example 4 was reduced, and the amount of organic base used in this comparative example 4 was 0.05% of the mass of the polyester rags. The purity of the final terephthalate glycol ester product was 96%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 81%.

[0082] From the comparison of the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that if the amount of organic base is reduced, the amount of polyester degraded into low molecular weight polyester is reduced, resulting in a lower conversion rate. In addition, the photodegradation catalyst and the organic base form a coordinated relationship to achieve efficient degradation of polyester. If the mass ratio of the organic base to the photodegradation catalyst is less than 2, the efficiency of oligomer degradation into small molecules is reduced, resulting in a lower purity and conversion rate of the finally obtained terephthalate glycol ester.

[0083] Comparative Example 5

[0084] The degradation of polyester was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature was increased in Comparative Example 5, and the reaction temperature was 120° C. The purity of the final terephthalate diol product was 98%, and the degradation rate of polyester was 99%.

[0085] From the comparison of the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that if the reaction temperature is increased, the conversion rate of polyester is increased, but the purity of the monomer of the degraded polyester will be significantly reduced, mainly because under the action of high temperature, the organic base can effectively degrade the polyester, and the photoinitiator can continue to decompose the degraded monomer, thereby inducing side reactions and reducing the purity of the depolymerized monomer. Therefore, the combination of organic base and photoinitiator can effectively achieve the degradation of polyester under the condition of lower energy consumption, and in addition, it can improve the purity of the degraded monomer and achieve efficient recovery of polyester.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are exhaustively listed. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
