  • Multicomponent textile blend recycling [Elektronski vir]
    Šerod, Jana ...
    Apparel and textiles account for approximately 10% of the total global carbon footprint. Every year around 60 million tons of various textile materials are disposed-off in landfills or incinerated. ... The objectives of our approach were to reduce environmental impact of urban textile waste through an innovative solution, which underscores the utilization of multi-component textile waste management and subsequent chemical and biotechnological processing. This combination assures fast and eco-friendly decomposition of fibers into monomers and addresses the issue of often changing composition of the textile waste available. In this paper we will focus on the chemical approach of our research. Laboratorial tests were aimed mainly at separation of cotton/polyester and wool/polyester blends by hydrolysis reactions. The process consisted of cotton or wool removal with acid hydrolysis as a first step, followed by high-pressure neutral hydrolysis of PET to recover the basic constituents.
