PROCESS OF RECYCLING OF DISPOSABLE DIAPERS AND THE MACHINE FOR REPROCESSING OF COMPONENTS THEREOF

摘要

A process for recovering the cellulose flock component of used disposable sanitary non-woven cellulose articles (D), especially diapers (D) having also a plastics component and a superabsorbent polymer component, comprising: separating the cellulose flock component from the plastics component; disintegrating the cellulose flock component in water (14) into cellulose fibers and separating (18) them from the water (14) containing the super-absorbent polymer component and other waste, by selectively collecting the cellulose fibers onto a rough surface (18); disposing the water, effluent and separately compacting (19) the separated cellulose fibers and the separated plastics component prior to their discharge. The invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out the process.
