Disposal method for recyclate containing polyester
A disposal method for recyclate of the disclosure including: providing recyclable containing polyester; performing a first depolymerization step, including mixing the recyclable and o-BHET for reaction and extrusion depolymerization to at least obtain or produce p-BHET; and performing a second depolymerization step, including mixing the p-BHET and a depolymerization solution for chemically depolymerization to at least obtain or produce m-BHET.
1 . A disposal method for recyclate, comprising:
providing recyclable containing polyester;
performing a first depolymerization step, comprising mixing the recyclable and oligo-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (o-BHET) for reaction and extrusion depolymerization to at least obtain or produce poly-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (p-BHET); and
performing a second depolymerization step, comprising mixing the p-BHET and a depolymerization solution for chemically depolymerization to at least obtain or produce monomer-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (m-BHET), wherein:
the first depolymerization step further comprises mixing the recyclable, the o-BHET, and a catalyst;
the first depolymerization step further comprises heating to 200° C. to 280° C.;
the depolymerization solution comprises ethylene glycol, and a weight ratio of the ethylene glycol in a total weight of the mixture in the second depolymerization step is 30 wt % to 80 wt %; and
the second depolymerization step further comprises heating to 190° C. to 240° C.
2 . The disposal method for recyclate according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the o-BHET in a total weight of the mixture in the first depolymerization step is 5 wt % to 20 wt %.
3 . The disposal method for recyclate according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the catalyst in a total weight of the mixture in the first depolymerization step is 0.2 wt % to 8 wt %.
4 . The disposal method for recyclate according to claim 1 , wherein the first depolymerization step is performed for 1 minute to 10 minutes.
5 . The disposal method for recyclate according to claim 1 , wherein the second depolymerization step is performed for 0.5 hours to 5 hours.
6 . The disposal method for recyclate according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first depolymerization step is performed at least M times or cycles, the second depolymerization step is performed at least N times or cycles, where M and N are both natural numbers, and M is greater than N; and
the o-BHET used for mixing in the M th time or cycle of the first depolymerization step comprises the o-BHET obtained or produced from the N th time or cycle of the second depolymerization step.
