Accurate quantification of polyester in textiles through complete depolymerisation and HPLC

Key Points

To accurately quantify polyester content in textiles through complete depolymerisation and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Utilized complete depolymerisation techniques to process textile samples.
Employed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for analysis.
Characterised textile waste to enhance recycling feedstock homogeneity.
Achieved precise quantification of polyester in various textile samples.
Demonstrated the effectiveness of HPLC in identifying polyester content.
Provided insights into improving recycling processes for textile waste.

Abstract

The bulk of textile waste is still landfilled or incinerated, despite its components being potentially recyclable. Textile waste, however, requires prior characterisation to produce homogenous feedstocks that can be recycled...
