涤纶废丝的熔融增黏反应及其性能
Melt polycondensation and characteristics of waste PET fibers
摘要
Abstract
Since its invention in 1948,polyester has been widely used in different areas,including fibers,films,polyesters bottle and so on,because of its excellent fibre forming property,thermal stability and mechanical properties.The total production of polyester fibers for 2020 in China exceeded 60 million tons.However,it's hard to ignore the recycling of waste polyester with the development of the industry.For example,only on the production line will produce about 2%waste fibers,which has caused a great burden on enterprises and the environment.The molecular weight of PET can be increased,and its utilization value can be improved by polycondensation.In this study,melt polycondensation was used to increase the viscosity of waste PET fibers,and the characteristics were investigated in order to provide support for the recovery of waste PET fibers. The polycondenstion reactions were conducted at different temperature and time conditions,and the influence on molecular weight changes were investigated by testing the characteristic viscosity.The molecular weight and distribution were tested by using APC-MALLS-RID,so as to show the change of molecular weight in the process of viscosity increasing.APC-PDA-RID was used to calculate the absolute content of oligomers and determine the composition of different cyclic oligomers.The thermal properties were tested by DSC to analyze the influence of viscosity increasing behavior on thermal properties.It was found that the waste PET powder,coarse cut fibers and virgin PET powder were melted and thickened at different temperatures and times.The results showed that at 270～280℃,the intrinsic viscosity increases with reaction time,and can increase to more than 1.0 dL/g within 50 min.The rate of melt polycondensation is obviously accelerated after the temperature increases,but when the temperature is higher than 270℃,the thermal degradation reaction will be promoted,causing the viscosity of the polyester to decline instead of rising.Therefore,270℃is an appropriate reaction temperature.The viscosity increasing time at 270℃is positively correlated with the molecular weight,and the molecular weight distribution becomes wider after viscosity increasing.Cyclic trimers are the most abundant component of oligomers.The content of oligomers decreases with the increase of the reaction time.The content of oligomers decreases after reaction at 270℃for 40 min.The content of oligomers in the waste PET powder is always higher than that in the virgin PET under the same conditions due to the intrinsic difference.The molecular weight and chain of the waste PET powder increase.The entanglement of the polymer chains hinders their mobility,leading to a reduction in chain regularity and a decrease in crystallization temperatures.The presence of small molecules,such as diethylene glycol generated through side reactions,exerts an influence on the melting point.In this study,characteristics of melt polycondensation and viscosification of waste polyester fibers were manifested from various aspects and compared with the virgin PET.It is found that the waste fibers have better viscosification effect,which id of great significance for recycling.关键词
