Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cotton fabric recycling equipment, and particularly relates to a depolymerization recycling system device for waste cotton fabrics. Background Technique

[0002] With the development of the textile industry and the substantial improvement of people's material needs, the replacement frequency of various fashionable clothes has accelerated, and a large amount of domestic waste textiles are generated every year. At present, the recovery rate of various textile cotton fibers is relatively low globally, and the comprehensive utilization rate is relatively low. Cotton fiber is a natural polymer organic matter, which has advantages such as good air permeability and moisture absorption, and is quite popular among consumers. It is found through research that the proportion of cotton fiber in waste textiles is relatively high. Due to current technical reasons and other factors, most waste textiles still adopt low-value-added recovery methods such as incineration, which will also bring problems such as air pollution and do not conform to the current global advocated concept of green sustainable development.

[0003] For the reuse of cotton textiles, it is generally necessary to first reduce the degree of polymerization of cotton fibers. Among the equipment for reducing the degree of polymerization of cotton fibers, currently, alkaline reagents such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are generally used to fully mix with waste cotton fibers, and the depolymerization effect of waste cotton fibers is achieved by means of high temperature and high alkalinity. However, during the depolymerization process using the alkali method, a large amount of black waste liquid will be generated, seriously polluting the water environment and instead increasing the environmental governance cost. In addition, during the process of adding the alkali solution, it is easy to cause alkali burns to operators, etc., and there are certain safety hazards. The current cotton fabric depolymerization recycling system has a complex structure, and the depolymerization effect is poor and the efficiency is low, resulting in poor quality of the recycled cotton fabrics. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model discloses a depolymerization recycling system device for waste cotton fabrics, aiming to improve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following scheme:

[0006] A depolymerization recycling system device for waste cotton fabrics includes: a crushing device, a disinfection device, a sterilization device, a depolymerization device, and a drying device; wherein,

[0007] The crushing device includes a biomass fiber cutting machine arranged in a crushing chamber for crushing waste cotton fabrics, and the disinfection device is arranged above the crushing chamber to spray a disinfectant during crushing;

[0008] The sterilization device includes a sterilization chamber connected to the crushing chamber. The sterilization chamber is connected with a steam generating device and a third water inlet, and the steam generating device is adapted to provide steam to the sterilization chamber to increase the temperature of the sterilization chamber;

[0009] The depolymerization device includes a reaction chamber connected to the sterilization device. The reaction chamber is provided with a catalyst feed pipeline and a degradation aid feed pipeline for supplying a catalyst or a degradation aid to the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber is provided with an ultrasonic device to reduce the degree of polymerization of the cotton fabric slurry in the reaction chamber.

[0010] The drying device is connected to the reaction chamber for drying the depolymerized cotton fabric slurry.

[0011] Further, the disinfection device includes a first spraying device which stores an alcohol disinfectant for spraying and disinfecting when the cotton fabric is broken.

[0012] Further, a pressure gauge, a thermometer and a timer are arranged in the sterilization chamber. The pressure gauge is suitable for monitoring the pressure in the sterilization chamber, the thermometer is suitable for monitoring the temperature in the sterilization chamber, and the timer is suitable for timing the time of high-pressure and high-temperature sterilization.

[0013] Further, a stirring device is arranged in the sterilization chamber to improve the sterilization efficiency.

[0014] Further, the ultrasonic device is arranged at the bottom of the reaction chamber, and a heating device is also arranged in the reaction chamber to heat the reaction chamber.

[0015] Further, a second spraying device and a drying device are also arranged in the drying chamber. The second spraying device is suitable for spraying water before drying to filter out impurities on the fabric surface, and the drying device is suitable for heating and drying the cotton fabric.

[0016] Further, the catalyst feed pipeline is suitable for introducing a 0.1% - 5% chloride catalyst.

[0017] Further, the lower part of the crushing chamber is connected to the upper part of the sterilization chamber through a pipeline, and the bottom of the sterilization chamber is connected to the upper part of the reaction chamber through a pipeline; the bottom of the reaction chamber is connected to the upper part of the drying chamber through a pipeline.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] In this embodiment, while the crushing device is used for crushing, disinfection is carried out, and then it is transported to the sterilization chamber for sterilization in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. Then, the sterilized cotton fabric is transported to the reaction chamber, where under the action of a chloride catalyst and an additive, ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic device are used to assist in depolymerization to improve the efficiency and effect of depolymerization. Finally, cleaning and drying are carried out, which can reduce the degree of polymerization of the cotton fabric, and no black liquor is generated during the whole process. This also eliminates the thorny problem of black liquor treatment for the comprehensive utilization of cotton fabric, and avoids problems such as heavy metal pollution in the water environment, thus greatly reducing the subsequent pollution treatment expenses.

[0025] The sterilization chamber 21 is arranged below the outlet of the crushing chamber 11, facilitating the entry of the cotton fabrics by gravity. The sterilization chamber 21 is connected with a steam generating device 22 to provide a high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the sterilization chamber 21 for sterilizing the cotton fabrics.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned processing system, an experimental embodiment is provided. Specifically, waste cotton fabric from domestic sources is put into the crushing device 1, prepared into a shape of 10 cm * 2 cm by a fiber cutting mechanism, and sprayed with a 1.0% - 20% ethanol solution, and the surface of the cotton fabric is cleaned with flowing water.

[0032] During the high-pressure steam sterilization process, the preliminarily prepared strip-shaped cotton fabric is put into the sterilization device 2 and sterilized under the conditions of a pressure of 0.2 - 1.0 Mpa and a temperature of 100 - 135 °C for 10 - 60 minutes.

[0033] In the reaction chamber 31, 0.1% - 5% cobalt chloride, the auxiliary agent HB-3803L, and the sterilized cotton fabric are added.

After depolymerization, the above-mentioned cotton fabric is subjected to drying treatment.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, when depolymerization is carried out in the reaction chamber 31, an appropriate amount of cobalt chloride, demineralized water, and HB-3803L are added to the reaction chamber 31. Specifically, the volume ratio of demineralized water to HB-3803L is 10:1, and the weight ratio of cobalt chloride to the cotton fabric is 0.05:1. It is treated in ultrasonic at 40 °C for 30 minutes, then the heating device 35 is started to heat to 85 °C and maintained for 90 minutes. After completion, it is rinsed with flowing water multiple times and dried in a drying chamber at 60 °C for 4 hours. Through this scheme, the degree of polymerization of the cotton fabric can be relatively reduced by 30.2%, and the depolymerization effect reaches the best.

[0035] Through this scheme, no black liquor is generated during the whole process of depolymerization of the cotton fabric, avoiding problems such as water environment pollution, thus greatly reducing the subsequent pollution treatment cost, and the depolymerization effect is good.
