Plastics separation and recycling methods |
摘要 |
Plastics fragments including polyethylene terephthalate and polyolefins derived from comminution of containers such as beverage bottles are segregated according to specific gravity by flotation. The flotation liquid includes a surfactant to facilitate complete separation of the light and heavy plastic fractions from one another. The surfactant may be a residue of a detergent used to wash the flakes and remove contaminants therefrom. Rinsing prior to flotation separation is controlled so as to leave the desired detergent residue leading to a marked reduction in rinse water requirements.
