[0008] S1. Collection and Classification: Preliminarily classify and collect the used plant fiber utensils according to the material, shape, and degree of pollution;
[0009] S2. Crushing Treatment: Feed the roughly cleaned plant fiber utensils into a crusher, control the rotation speed of the crusher at 1500 revolutions per minute, and crush them into fragments with a particle size of less than 5 millimeters;
[0010] S3. Rough Cleaning: Immerse the classified plant fiber utensils in an aqueous solution containing a biodegradable non-ionic surfactant with a mass concentration of 0.5% for 20 minutes, and then rinse them with a high-pressure water gun with a pressure of 3 MPa to remove most of the stains and impurities on the surface;
[0011] S4. Screening and Separation: Use a vibrating screen to screen the crushed fragments, the mesh number of the vibrating screen is 80 meshes, separate the large particle impurities with particle sizes not meeting the requirements, and then through a density separation device, according to the density differences of different components, adopt a combination of air flotation separation and gravity sedimentation to separate the impurities with larger densities;
[0012] S5. Fine cleaning: Put the screened fragments into an ultrasonic cleaning device, add a weak alkaline cleaning agent prepared from sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and water in a mass ratio of 3:2:100, and clean for 15 minutes at a temperature of 40°C to further remove residual stains and small molecule impurities;
[0013] S6. Dehydration and drying: Dehydrate the fragments after fine cleaning through a centrifugal dehydrator. The rotation speed of the centrifugal dehydrator is 3000 revolutions per minute, and the dehydration time is 8 minutes. Then send them into a hot air drying device and dry at a temperature of 80°C until the moisture content is lower than 8%.
[0014] As a further solution of the present invention, the surfactant is a biodegradable non-ionic surfactant, and its mass concentration in the aqueous solution is 0.5%.
[0015] As a further solution of the present invention, the crusher adopts a double-shaft shearing crusher, and an intelligent monitoring system is arranged inside the crusher, which can automatically adjust the rotation speed according to the material crushing situation, and the adjustment range is ±300 revolutions per minute.
[0016] As a further solution of the present invention, the mesh number of the vibrating screen is 80 meshes, and the density separation device adopts a combination of air flotation separation and gravity sedimentation. The air flotation time is 5 minutes, and the gravity sedimentation time is 10 minutes.
[0017] As a further solution of the present invention, the weak alkaline cleaning agent is prepared from sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and water in a mass ratio of 3:2:100.
[0018] As a further solution of the present invention, the rotation speed of the centrifugal dehydrator is 3000 revolutions per minute, and the hot air drying device adopts a circulating air heating method, and the circulating air speed is 5m / s.
[0019] As a further solution of the present invention, after the collection and classification step, a pre-sorting step is added. Use a near-infrared spectroscopy analyzer to accurately identify different material fibers in the plant fiber utensils, further subdivide the collection categories, and the identification accuracy rate can reach more than 95%.
[0020] As a further solution of the present invention, in the rough cleaning step, the high-pressure water gun washing pressure is intelligently adjusted through a pressure adjustment system according to the utensil material and pollution degree. The pressure range is 2-4MPa, and the adjustment accuracy is ±0.2MPa.

[0023] Through systematic collection and classification, the present invention improves the pertinence and efficiency of subsequent processing. Coarse cleaning combines soaking and high-pressure water gun rinsing, which can efficiently remove surface impurities; crushing treatment controls the particle size to facilitate subsequent separation; screening and separation combine multiple means to improve the separation accuracy; fine cleaning uses ultrasonic waves and specific cleaning agents to deeply remove residual impurities; dehydration and drying ensure the dryness of the product, which is beneficial for storage and subsequent utilization.
[0024] The biodegradable non-ionic surfactant not only ensures the cleaning effect but also is environmentally friendly, reducing the impact on the subsequent processed products. The double-shaft shear crusher and intelligent monitoring system improve the crushing uniformity and efficiency. The specific mesh number of the sieve and the innovative density sorting method enhance the separation effect.
[0025] The weak alkaline cleaning agent enhances the cleaning power and is environmentally friendly. The optimized rotational speed of the centrifugal dehydrator and the hot air drying equipment method improve the quality and efficiency of dehydration and drying. By accurately identifying the material through a near-infrared spectroscopy analyzer, the classification accuracy is greatly improved, providing more accurate raw materials for subsequent processing.
