[0009] Below, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below. Furthermore, to clarify the description, the drawings may show the width, thickness, and shape of each part schematically compared to the actual form, but this is merely an example and should not be interpreted as limiting.

[0011] Hereinafter, the method for treating a resin sheet and the method for producing recycled raw materials according to the present disclosure will be described in detail.
[0012] A. Resin Sheet Treatment Method Fig. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a resin sheet treatment method according to the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 1, the resin sheet treatment method according to the present disclosure includes a separation step of separating a resin coating film from a substrate using a cleaning liquid. As shown in Fig. 2, a resin sheet 10 is formed by separating a substrate 1 and a resin coating film R in a thickness direction D. TIn the separation step, the resin coating film R is separated from the substrate 1 using a cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid in the present disclosure contains alcohol as a main component. 14 C. The biomass degree is 88% or more and 100% or less.
[0013] According to the present disclosure, 14 By using a cleaning solution with a high C biomass content (a cleaning solution containing a large amount of biological materials), it is possible to treat a resin sheet with a low environmental impact. Furthermore, since the cleaning solution contains alcohol as a main component, the resin coating film can be easily separated from the substrate, and the substrate can be recovered with little residual resin coating. Conventionally, resin sheets having a substrate and a resin coating film are discarded as industrial waste after use without being recycled. When reusing a resin sheet as a resource, it is desirable to separate the resin coating film from the substrate so that recycling destinations are not limited.
[0014] When a cleaning solution is used to separate a resin coating from a substrate, for example, if the cleaning solution contains a large amount of petroleum-derived materials, the cleaning solution itself places a burden on the environment. Typically, the amount of cleaning solution used is significantly greater than the amount of resin sheet processed, so the cleaning solution itself has a significant impact on the environment. In contrast, in the present disclosure, the cleaning solution contains a large amount of biological (particularly plant-derived) materials, allowing the resin sheet to be processed with a low environmental burden.
[0015] 1. Separation Step The separation step in the present disclosure is a step of separating the resin coating film from the substrate using a cleaning solution. The cleaning solution contains alcohol as a main component. 14 The C biomass degree is 88% or more and 100% or less. Furthermore, the separation in the present disclosure includes both peeling and separating the resin coating film from the substrate, and dissolving and separating the resin coating film from the substrate.
[0016] (1) Cleaning Solution The cleaning solution in this disclosure 14 C. The biomass degree is 88% or more and 100% or less. 14The C biomass content, also known as the biobased content, is an index that indicates the proportion of carbon-containing materials contained in the cleaning solution that are derived from living organisms. Carbon contains multiple isotopes, 12 C and 13 C is a stable isotope and accounts for the majority of carbon. 14 C is a radioisotope, 14 The carbon concentration is about 100 pMC (percent modern carbon). 14 The C concentration is maintained in equilibrium through life activities, but when life activities cease, 14 C undergoes beta decay 14 It changes to N, 14 The C concentration decreases over time (half-life: 5700 years). 14 The C concentration is about 100 pMC, but in petroleum-derived materials 14 The C concentration becomes zero.
[0017] For example, if 100% biological materials are used, the cleaning solution 14 On the other hand, if 100% petroleum-derived materials are used, the cleaning solution will have a biomass content of 100%. 14 In addition, if 50% of biologically derived materials and 50% of petroleum-derived materials are used (based on organic carbon), the cleaning solution will have a biomass content of 0%. 14 C The biomass ratio is 50%. 14 The biomass content is measured using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) based on ASTM D6866 (bio-based content test standard). 14 The C biomass degree may be 90% or more, or 95% or more. 14 The C biomass degree may be 100% or less than 100%.
[0018] (i) Alcohol The cleaning solution in the present disclosure contains alcohol as a main component. The “main component” refers to the component with the largest mass among all components contained in the cleaning solution.
[0019] The cleaning solution according to the present disclosure contains a biologically-derived (particularly plant-derived) alcohol as the alcohol. The proportion of the biologically-derived alcohol in the total alcohol contained in the cleaning solution is, for example, 80% by mass or more, or may be 90% by mass or more, or may be 95% by mass or more. Meanwhile, the proportion may be 100% by mass or less than 100% by mass. The cleaning solution may contain only one type of biologically-derived alcohol, or two or more types.
[0020] The alcohol contained in the cleaning solution is not particularly limited. The number of carbon atoms of the alcohol is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 1 or more, 5 or more, 7 or more, 10 or more, or 12 or more. When the number of carbon atoms of the alcohol is small, the boiling point of the alcohol tends to be low, and there is a possibility that the alcohol will volatilize from the cleaning solution. On the other hand, the number of carbon atoms of the alcohol is, for example, 25 or less, 20 or less, or 18 or less. When the number of carbon atoms of the alcohol is large, the viscosity of the cleaning solution tends to be high.
[0021] The number of hydroxyl groups contained in one molecule of alcohol is not particularly limited, and may be 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more. The molecular weight of the alcohol is also not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 32 to 250, or 90 to 220. The cleaning solution may contain only one type of alcohol, or two or more types of alcohol.
[0022] The boiling point of the alcohol contained in the cleaning solution is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 60°C or higher, 80°C or higher, 100°C or higher, 120°C or higher, or 140°C or higher. On the other hand, the boiling point of the alcohol contained in the cleaning solution may be, for example, 380°C or lower, 360°C or lower, 340°C or lower, or 320°C or lower. The boiling point refers to the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid and the external pressure become equal, and corresponds to the temperature at which the liquid boils. In particular, it is preferable that the cleaning solution contains, as a main component, an alcohol having a boiling point of 120°C or higher.
[0023] The proportion of alcohol contained in the cleaning solution is, for example, 50% by mass or more, or may be 70% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, 85% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more. If the proportion of alcohol is too low, the resin coating film may not be able to be satisfactorily separated from the substrate. On the other hand, the proportion of alcohol contained in the cleaning solution may be 100% by mass or less than 100% by mass.
[0024] An example of the alcohol contained in the cleaning solution is an alcohol having a five-membered ring structure or a six-membered ring structure (hereinafter, may be referred to as alcohol A). The five-membered ring structure or the six-membered ring structure may have a monocyclic structure or a heterocyclic structure. The monocyclic structure is preferably a carbon monocyclic structure. The heterocyclic structure is preferably a heterocyclic structure having carbon and a heteroelement other than carbon. Examples of heteroelements other than carbon include oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The five-membered ring structure or the six-membered ring structure may be a conjugated ring structure or a non-conjugated ring structure. The number of carbon atoms in alcohol A is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 4 or more and 11 or less.

Alcohol B may be a chain compound or a cyclic compound. The chain compound may have a linear structure or a branched chain structure. Alcohol B may have a 5-membered ring structure or a 6-membered ring structure, or may not have a 5-membered ring structure or a 6-membered ring structure. The 5-membered ring structure or the 6-membered ring structure is as described above.

On the other hand, the boiling point of alcohol B is, for example, 380°C or lower, 360°C or lower, 340°C or lower, or 320°C or lower. The boiling point of alcohol B may be higher than the boiling point of alcohol A. The cleaning liquid may contain alcohol B, whose boiling point is in the above range, as a main component.

[0031] The alcohol B is preferably derived from a living organism (particularly from a plant). The cleaning solution may contain only one type of alcohol B, or may contain two or more types.

[0032] The cleaning solution of the present disclosure may contain both alcohol A and alcohol B. In this case, alcohol A and alcohol B are usually different compounds.

The primer layer 4 shown in FIG. 6 improves the adhesion between the protective layer 5 and the adhesive layer 7. The adhesive layer 7 according to the present disclosure may be a heat seal layer. The resin sheet 10 is also formed in a thickness direction D. T In the resin sheet 10, a back surface layer 6 may be provided on the opposite side of the color material layer 2 with respect to the substrate 1. TIn the above, a second primer layer 8 may be provided between the substrate 1 and the back surface layer 6. The primer layer 4, the back surface layer 6, and the second primer layer 8 may have a known configuration.
[0061] (b) Resin Sheets Other Than Thermal Transfer Sheets The resin sheet in the present disclosure is not limited to a thermal transfer sheet, and any sheet having a substrate and a resin coating can be used. The resin coating may be colored or uncolored. FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a resin sheet in the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the resin sheet may have a substrate 1 and a printing layer 9. The printing layer 9 contains, for example, a colorant (colorant) and a binder. The colorant and binder are the same as those described above.
[0062] (iii) Resin Sheet The resin sheet has the above-described substrate and resin coating film. The thickness of the resin sheet varies depending on the type of resin sheet and is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 3.0 μm or more and 150 μm or less, or 3.0 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The thickness of the resin sheet may be 3.0 μm or more and 12 μm or less, 3.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less, or 4.0 μm or more and 8.0 μm or less. The above range is a suitable range when the resin sheet has a relatively thin substrate. On the other hand, the thickness of the resin sheet may be 30 μm or more and 150 μm or less, 35 μm or more and 120 μm or less, or 45 μm or more and 110 μm or less. The above range is a suitable range when the resin sheet has a relatively thick substrate.
[0063] In the separation step, the resin sheet is washed using a cleaning liquid to separate the resin coating film from the substrate. The resin sheet in the washing step may be in the form of crushed pieces 11, as shown in FIG. 8 . That is, a crushing step in which the resin sheet is crushed to produce crushed pieces may be performed before or simultaneously with the separation step. The crushed pieces are brought into contact with the cleaning liquid to separate the resin coating film from the substrate. By using the crushed pieces, a large amount of resin sheet can be washed. On the other hand, in the case of a thin resin sheet with little stiffness, such as a thermal transfer sheet, the crushed pieces tend to aggregate, and the cleaning liquid does not easily penetrate into areas where multiple crushed pieces aggregate, making it difficult to separate the resin coating film from the substrate. In contrast, in the present disclosure, by using the above-mentioned cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid can penetrate into areas where multiple crushed pieces aggregate, and the resin coating film can be successfully separated from the substrate. The area of the crushed pieces is, for example, 1 cm 2 More than 15cm 2 less than or equal to 1.5 cm 2 Above, 10cm 2 The area of the crushed pieces is calculated as the average area of a plurality of crushed pieces. On the other hand, the resin sheet in the cleaning treatment does not have to be crushed pieces.
[0064] When preparing crushed pieces, the size and shape of the crushed pieces are not particularly limited, but it is preferable that they are in an appropriate state so that the contact area between the cleaning solution and the object to be cleaned is increased. Examples of crushing devices for crushing the resin sheet include jaw crushers, impact crushers, cutter mills, stamp mills, ring mills, roller mills, jet mills, and hammer mills. The crushing conditions for the resin sheet are not particularly limited.
[0065] (3) Separation step The separation step is a step of separating the resin coating film from the substrate using a cleaning liquid. In the separation step, the mass (amount used) of the cleaning liquid relative to the mass (amount treated) of the resin sheet is, for example, 10 times or more, 20 times or more, 40 times or more, 100 times or more, 150 times or more, or 200 times or more. If the mass (amount used) of the cleaning liquid is too small, the resin coating film may not be separated well from the substrate. On the other hand, the mass (amount used) of the cleaning liquid relative to the mass (amount treated) of the resin sheet may be, for example, 600 times or less, 550 times or less, or 500 times or less. If the mass (amount used) of the cleaning liquid is too large, a large amount of cleaning liquid is required, which may reduce the processing efficiency.
[0066] The method for cleaning the resin sheet with the cleaning liquid is not particularly limited, but for example, a method of immersing the resin sheet in the cleaning liquid can be mentioned. The temperature of the cleaning liquid during immersion is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 25° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, or 30° C. or higher and 80° C. or lower. The immersion time is, for example, 1 minute or longer and 24 hours or shorter.
[0067] In the separation step, it is preferable to stir the cleaning solution in which the resin sheet is immersed. Stirring allows for better separation of the resin coating film from the substrate. When stirring the cleaning solution in which the resin sheet is immersed, media such as beads may be used, or no media may be used. In the former case, the media dispersed in the cleaning solution come into contact with the resin sheet, allowing for better separation of the resin coating film from the substrate. On the other hand, in the latter case, the generation of bubbles can be suppressed compared to the former. In addition, the cleaning agent may or may not contain additives such as activated carbon, anti-redeposition agents, and antifoaming agents. The separation step may be performed once or twice or more times. Examples of devices for separating the resin sheet include a mechanical mixer, a Henschel mixer, a tumbler mixer, and an ultrasonic device.
[0068] 2. Rinsing Step The resin sheet treatment method according to the present disclosure preferably includes a rinsing step for removing the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate after the separation step. The rinsing step can also promote separation of the resin coating film and the substrate.
[0069] In the rinsing step, a rinse liquid is usually used to remove the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate. An example of the rinse liquid is water. Among them, warm water is preferable as the rinse liquid. This is because the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate can be efficiently removed. The temperature of the warm water is, for example, 35°C or higher and 60°C or lower. On the other hand, the rinse liquid may be an organic solvent. The rinse liquid may contain only one organic solvent, or may contain two or more organic solvents. In addition, the organic solvent is preferably derived from a living organism (particularly from a plant). The rinse liquid 14 The C biomass degree is preferably 88% or more and 100% or less. The boiling point of the organic solvent is, for example, less than 100°C, and may be 95°C or less, 90°C or less, or 85°C or less. On the other hand, the boiling point of the organic solvent is, for example, 40°C or more, and may be 50°C or more. Examples of organic solvents include alcohols such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, ketones such as acetone, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran.
[0070] The rinse liquid may be water (including warm water), an organic solvent, or a mixture of water and an organic solvent. Here, a rinse liquid containing water as a main component is referred to as rinse liquid A. The proportion of water in rinse liquid A may be, for example, 50% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more. Meanwhile, the proportion of water in rinse liquid A may be 100% by mass or less. The boiling point of rinse liquid A may be, for example, 80°C or more and 120°C or less, or 90°C or more and 110°C or less.
[0071] A rinse liquid containing an organic solvent as a main component is referred to as rinse liquid B. The proportion of the organic solvent in rinse liquid B is, for example, 50% by mass or more, or may be 70% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more. On the other hand, the proportion of the organic solvent in rinse liquid B may be 100% by mass or less. The boiling point of rinse liquid B may be, for example, 40°C or more and less than 100°C, or 50°C or more and 85°C or less. The boiling point of rinse liquid B is preferably lower than the boiling point of rinse liquid A. The difference between the boiling points of rinse liquid A and rinse liquid B is, for example, 10°C or more, or may be 15°C or more, or may be 20°C or more. On the other hand, the difference between the boiling points of rinse liquid A and rinse liquid B is, for example, 60°C or less.
[0072] In the rinsing step, a removal treatment using a rinse liquid to remove the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate may be performed once or twice or more times. When the removal treatment is performed twice or more times, the same rinse liquid may be used in each removal treatment, or different rinse liquids may be used. When the rinse liquid used in the nth (n is an integer of 1 or more) removal treatment is rinse liquid X and the rinse liquid used in the n+1th removal treatment is rinse liquid Y, it is preferable that the rinse liquid Y has a lower boiling point than the rinse liquid X. This is because the drying temperature in the subsequent drying step can be reduced. For example, when the rinse liquid X is water, it is preferable that the rinse liquid Y has a lower boiling point than water, i.e., a boiling point of less than 100°C. Examples of liquids with a boiling point lower than water include ethanol (boiling point 78.4°C) and isopropyl alcohol (boiling point 82.3°C). The liquid with a boiling point lower than water may also be the organic solvent described above.
[0073] The rinse liquid X may be the rinse liquid A described above, and the rinse liquid Y may be the rinse liquid B described above. That is, the rinsing process preferably includes a first rinsing process in which the rinse liquid A is used to remove the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate, and a second rinsing process in which the rinse liquid B, which has a boiling point lower than that of the rinse liquid A, is used to remove the cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate after the first rinsing process. In particular, the boiling point of the rinse liquid B is preferably less than 100°C. If the boiling point of the rinse liquid B is too high, the drying residue is likely to remain, which may result in problems in subsequent processes such as molding. On the other hand, if the boiling point of the rinse liquid B is too low, the evaporation of the rinse liquid B may reduce production stability. In addition, examples of equipment used in the rinsing process include a mechanical mixer, a Henschel mixer, a tumbler mixer, and an ultrasonic device.
[0074] 3. Drying Step The resin sheet treatment method according to the present disclosure may include a drying step of drying the substrate separated from the resin coating film after the separation step. In addition, when the resin sheet treatment method includes the above-described rinsing step, the resin sheet treatment method may include a drying step after the rinsing step.
[0075] The drying temperature in the drying step is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 80°C or higher, 90°C or higher, 100°C or higher, or 120°C or higher. On the other hand, the drying temperature in the drying step may be, for example, 160°C or lower, 150°C or lower, 140°C or lower, 120°C or lower, or 100°C or lower. If the drying temperature is too low, it may be difficult to sufficiently dry the substrate. On the other hand, if the drying temperature is too high, the processing efficiency may decrease. Furthermore, if the drying temperature is too low, the drying property may decrease, and if the drying temperature is too high, the dried material may be thermally damaged.
[0076] The drying time in the drying step is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 30 minutes or more, 1 hour or more, or 2 hours or more. On the other hand, the drying time in the drying step may be, for example, 12 hours or less, 10 hours or less, 8 hours or less, or 5 hours or less. If the drying time is too short, it may be difficult to sufficiently dry the substrate. On the other hand, if the drying time is too long, the processing efficiency may decrease. Furthermore, if the drying time is too short, the drying property may be insufficient, and if the drying time is too long, the working efficiency may decrease.
[0077] The drying method in the drying step is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include reduced pressure heating drying, hot air drying, and pressurized compression drying. The above drying methods can be used alone or in combination.
[0078] B. Manufacturing Method of Recycled Raw Materials The manufacturing method of recycled raw materials in the present disclosure includes a recovery step of recovering the base material from the resin sheet using the treatment method described above in "A. Treatment method of resin sheet."
[0079] According to the present disclosure, by treating a resin sheet using the above-mentioned treatment method, recycled raw materials can be obtained while reducing the environmental load. The recovery process is the same as that described above in "A. Treatment method for resin sheet," and therefore will not be described here.
[0080] The method for producing recycled materials may include a pelletizing step of pelletizing the recovered substrate, as needed, to obtain recycled materials in the form of pellets.
[0081] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments are merely examples, and anything that has substantially the same configuration as the technical idea described in the claims of the present disclosure and exhibits similar effects is included within the technical scope of the present disclosure.
[0082] [Preparation of cleaning solution] Plant-derived tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (boiling point: 178°C), plant-derived 1-dodecanol (boiling point: 261°C), and water were mixed in a mass ratio of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol:1-dodecanol:water = 80.6:10.1:9.3 to obtain cleaning solution 1. Furthermore, the materials shown in Table 1 were mixed in the compositions shown in Table 1 to obtain cleaning solutions 2 to 4. In cleaning solutions 2 to 4, all of the materials containing carbon elements were plant-derived materials. Therefore, cleaning solutions 1 to 4 14 The C biomass degree was 100% in all cases. Note that lauryl glucoxide and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether in Table 1 do not have boiling points.
[0083] On the other hand, water, sodium hydroxide, and plant-derived polyoxyalkylene lauryl ether were mixed in a mass ratio of water:sodium hydroxide:polyoxyalkylene lauryl ether = 97.7:2:0.3 to obtain cleaning solution 5. Furthermore, petroleum-derived toluene and petroleum-derived methyl ethyl ketone were mixed in a mass ratio of toluene:methyl ethyl ketone = 50:50 to obtain cleaning solution 6. 14 The C biomass content is almost 0%, and the cleaning solution 6 14 The C biomass ratio was 0%.
[0084]
[0085] [Preparation of Resin Sheet] Resin sheet 1 was prepared as a dye-sublimation thermal transfer sheet having a crosslinked resin coating (containing a diisocyanate compound as a crosslinking component, thickness 0.5 μm) on one side of a substrate (PET, thickness 6.5 μm) and a dye-containing resin coating (thickness 0.5 μm) on the other side. Resin sheet 2 was prepared as a sheet (thickness 100 μm) having a resin coating (printed layer, thickness 8.0 μm) formed by gravure printing on a substrate (polyethylene, thickness 92 μm). Resin sheet 3 was prepared as a sheet (thickness 80 μm) having a resin coating (printed layer, thickness 8.0 μm) formed by gravure printing on a substrate (polyethylene, thickness 72 μm). Resin sheet 4 was prepared as a melt-type thermal transfer sheet having a resin coating (0.2 μm thick) on one side of a substrate (PET, 12 μm thick) and a resin coating (7.5 μm thick) containing resin and carbon black on the other side. Resin sheet 5 was prepared as a melt-type thermal transfer sheet having a resin coating (0.2 μm thick) on one side of a substrate (PET, 6.0 μm thick) and a resin coating (1.2 μm thick) containing resin and carbon black on the other side. Resin sheets 1 to 5 are summarized in Table 2.
[0086]
[0087] [Example 1] Resin sheet 1 was shredded using a ribbon shredder (device name: GRASYS BiT) to obtain shredded pieces. The cutting method was twisted micro-cutting, and the maximum shredding speed was 12 m / min. Then, cleaning solution 1 was added to a container and heated in a hot water bath until the temperature of cleaning solution 1 reached 50°C. Next, 1.0 g of the shredded pieces was placed in a 100 mL beaker, and 49 g of heated cleaning solution 1 was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature at 300 rpm for 10 minutes. After stirring, the shredded pieces were collected using a sieve with 2 mm openings.
[0088] The recovered fragments were then placed in 49 g of hot water at 50°C and stirred at room temperature at 300 rpm for 5 minutes (rinsing step). After stirring, the fragments (substrate) were recovered using a sieve with 2 mm openings, drained, and dried with hot air in an oven at 140°C for 3 hours (drying step). This yielded washed fragments (substrate).
[0089] Examples 2 to 4 Cleaned crushed pieces (substrates) were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that cleaning solutions 2 to 4 were used instead of cleaning solution 1.
[0090] Examples 5 to 8 Washed crushed pieces (substrates) were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that resin sheets 2 to 5 were used instead of resin sheet 1.
[0091] Example 9 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that the hot water used in the rinsing step was changed to water at 25°C, and thus washed crushed pieces (substrate) were obtained.
[0092] Example 10 Cleaned crushed pieces (substrates) were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the oven temperature in the drying step was changed to 100°C.
[0093] [Example 11] The same procedure as in Example 1 was followed up to the rinsing step (first rinsing treatment). Next, after stirring, the crushed pieces (substrate) were collected using a sieve with 2 mm openings. Next, the crushed pieces were placed in 49 g of ethanol (EtOH, boiling point 78.4 ° C) at 25 ° C and stirred at 300 rpm for 5 minutes under room temperature conditions (second rinsing treatment). Next, after stirring, the crushed pieces (substrate) were collected using a sieve with 2 mm openings and dried with hot air in an oven at 100 ° C for 3 hours (drying treatment). This resulted in the crushed pieces (substrate) after washing.
[0094] [Examples 12 to 17] Crushed pieces (substrates) after washing were obtained in the same manner as in Example 11, except that the type of resin sheet, whether or not a first rinse treatment was performed, and the type of rinse liquid in the second rinse treatment were changed as shown in Table 4. In Table 4, IPA is isopropanol (boiling point 82.3°C), ACE is acetone (boiling point 56°C), and THF is tetrahydrofuran (boiling point 66°C).
[0095] [Comparative Example 1] Cleaned crushed pieces (substrates) were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that cleaning solution 5 was used instead of cleaning solution 1 and the drying temperature in the drying step was changed from 140°C to 110°C.
[0096] Comparative Example 2 A washed crushed piece (substrate) was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that Resin Sheet 5 was used instead of Resin Sheet 1.
[0097] [Comparative Example 3] Cleaned crushed pieces (substrates) were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that cleaning solution 6 was used instead of cleaning solution 1 and the drying temperature in the drying step was changed from 140°C to 120°C.
[0098] [Evaluation] (Residual rate of resin coating film) The surface of the crushed pieces before and after cleaning was photographed using a microscope (magnification 20x). These images were captured using a scanner (CanoScan9000F) under the following conditions: resolution: 600 dpi, color mode: grayscale, color correction: none. The captured images were binarized using image analysis software (ImageJ), and the number of dots from 0 to 200 gradations was counted. The residual rate of resin coating film was calculated using the following formula: Residual rate of resin coating film (%) = (number of dots after cleaning) / (number of dots before cleaning) x 100
[0099] The remaining rate of the resin coating film was evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4. AA: The remaining rate of the resin coating film was less than 2%. A: The remaining rate of the resin coating film was 2% or more and less than 5%. B: The remaining rate of the resin coating film was 5% or more and less than 10%. C: The remaining rate of the resin coating film was 10% or more.
[0100] (Residual Rate of Cleaning Solution) The fragments after the rinsing process were measured using GC-MS (JMS-Q1500GC model and JMS-T1000CV model manufactured by JEOL Ltd.). Of the detected components, the total amount of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and 1-dodecanol detected was calculated, and the residual rate of the cleaning solution was calculated using the following formula: Residual rate of cleaning solution (%) = {(Detected amount of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol) + (Detected amount of 1-dodecanol)} / (Mass of fragments) × 100
[0101] The residual rate of the cleaning liquid was evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4. A: The residual rate of the cleaning liquid was less than 0.12%. B: The residual rate of the cleaning liquid was 0.12% or more. C: Not detected.
[0102]
[0103]
[0104] As shown in Tables 3 and 4, in Examples 1 to 17, the residual rate of the resin coating film was low, and the resin coating film was successfully separated from the substrate. In particular, in Examples 13 and 15, the first rinse was performed with warm water, and the second rinse was performed with IPA, which has a boiling point lower than that of water, which resulted in an extremely low residual rate of the resin coating film. 14 The use of cleaning solutions 1 to 4, each with a high C biomass content, enabled a reduction in the environmental impact. Furthermore, in Examples 1 to 17, the residual rate of the resin coating film was low, and the residual rate of the cleaning solution was also low. In contrast, in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the residual rate of the resin coating film was high, and the resin coating film could not be satisfactorily separated from the substrate.
