Overview

Evaluates how different fibers impact CMF yield in polycotton recycling, suggesting best practices for optimal processes.

Key Points

  • To assess the effects of various fiber contaminants on the hydrochloric acid-based recycling of polycotton textiles.
  • Evaluated impact of cellulose and synthetic fibers on CMF production during hydrolysis of polycotton textiles.
  • Assessed removal efficiency of synthetic fibers and the influence of animal fibers on product yield.
  • Recommended operational adjustments like intermediate filtration and extended hydrolysis time.
  • Cellulose-based fibers did not hinder CMF yield, proving suitable for CMF production.
  • Animal fibers reduced CMF yield (exact metric not provided) and complicated acid recovery.
  • Polyacrylonitrile and wool remained in solid, contaminating recovered polyester and reducing its value.
