Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decolorization technology for waste textiles, specifically a solvent recovery device for waste textiles. Background Technology
[0002] With environmental protection becoming increasingly important, the recycling and reuse of waste polyester is receiving more and more attention. Among the technologies for recycling and reusing waste polyester, the reuse of already consumed waste textiles is the most meaningful, but also the most technically challenging, with the biggest technical bottleneck being the decolorization technology for waste polyester.
[0003] Decolorization techniques for waste polyester fibers are divided into chemical and physical methods. Chemical methods use redox chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and thiourea dioxide to react with and destroy the dyes in the polyester fibers at high temperatures, achieving decolorization. However, this method has limitations, including the applicability of chemicals to different dyes and the presence of chemical residues on the fabric. The other method is the physical method, which involves elution with organic solvents. This method is more universal; as long as a strong dissolving organic solvent is selected, it can effectively remove all disperse dyes. However, this method requires recycling the organic solvent after decolorization to reduce costs. The decolorized dye solution can be directly distilled and recovered, a mature technology in industry. However, there is currently no equipment available for directly recycling the solvent remaining on the fabric, making this step crucial for waste fabric reuse and solvent recovery.

[0031] There are two hot air pipes 13, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the outer casing 1;
[0032] The outer casing 1 includes a housing 1.1, the top of which is provided with a first opening 1.2, and a housing sealing cover 1.3 is provided at the position of the first opening 1.2;
[0033] The support base 2 is located at the center of the bottom of the outer casing 1;
[0034] The waste textile carrier frame 4 includes a frame body 4.1, a second opening 4.2 is provided at the top of the frame body 4.1, and a carrier frame sealing cover 4.3 is provided at the position of the second opening 4.2;
[0035] The outer wall of the frame 4.1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 4.4 evenly distributed;

[0038] Working principle:
[0039] Area B of the waste textile carrier is filled with decolorized waste textiles. These are lifted directly out and placed into the outer shell. The carrier's clips secure it to the high-speed rotating base, and then the outer shell's sealing cover is closed. The rotation is started, causing the waste textile carrier to undergo high-speed centrifugation. The solvent released after centrifugation flows back to the solvent recovery vessel through the first solvent pipe. The first valve on the first solvent pipe is closed, and high-temperature air is introduced into area A. Simultaneously, the negative pressure pump is activated to begin vacuuming. As the temperature of the waste textiles rises, the pressure in area A decreases, and the solvent adsorbed on the textiles begins to evaporate. It then enters the condenser through the second solvent pipe, re-condenses into liquid, and flows into the solvent recovery vessel through the third solvent pipe. Once the solvent adsorbed on the waste textiles has been completely recovered, the hot air and negative pressure pump are turned off, the outer shell's sealing cover is opened, and the entire waste textile carrier is lifted out using a crane. The carrier's sealing cover is then opened again, and the waste textiles are removed, completing the recycling process.
[0040] Zone A is a negative pressure zone, where a negative pressure pump provides a negative pressure environment to reduce the vapor pressure of the decolorizing solvent and aid in its evaporation. Zone B is the waste textile receiving area; the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation can significantly reduce the liquid content of the waste textiles, improving decolorization efficiency. Notably, Zone A is heated directly by hot air pipes, resulting in the highest heating efficiency. The solvent after vacuum distillation is cooled by a condenser and recovered to a solvent recovery vessel.
