Abstract:

Polyester/cotton blended fabrics are widely used for military training uniforms and civilian military training uniforms. However, the military training uniforms, form a large amount of waste every year, leading to heavy waste of resources. This paper reports the alcoholysis of polyester from the polyester/cotton blended military training uniforms with zinc acetate, urea, and urea-zinc acetate eutectic system as catalysts, where the cellulose was also recycled through this acid hydrolysis. The influence of the catalyst type and dosage, and the reaction temperature and time on the alcoholysis efficiency of polyester was explored. Three different waste textiles containing polyester were used. The alcoholysis polyethene terephthalate(BHET) monomer and acidolysis cellulose were characterized using the fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry analyses. The results show that the polyester has good alcoholysis efficiency under the following conditions: zinc acetate as the catalyst, the relative mass fraction of waste military training uniforms was 0.6%, the reaction solid-liquid ratio was 1∶6, the reaction temperature was 196 ℃, and the reaction time was 3 h. White cellulose was obtained and the goal of separating and recycling different components of waste military training uniforms was achieved.

Key words: military training uniforms, polyester/cotton blended fabric, waste textiles, alcoholysis, chemical separation, recycling
