摘要:
An electronic device is for identifying the plastic composition of an unknown plastic object. The electronic device may include a spectrometer configured to receive the unknown plastic object and generate a MIR reflectance spectra characteristic of the unknown plastic object, a memory configured to store a multi-spectral fingerprint library for plastic types, and a processor coupled to the spectrometer and the memory. The processor is configured to analyze in real-time the MIR reflectance spectra characteristic of the unknown plastic object, and identify the plastic composition based upon at least comparing the MIR reflectance spectra characteristic of the unknown plastic object to the multi-spectral fingerprint library. The processor may be configured to expand the fingerprint library upon initial baseline characterization.

In a method and equipment for conditioning a heavy fraction high in plastics, which is obtained by conditioning low-metal scrap high in plastics, which originate at least in part from shredder processes of scrap vehicles, the method includes: isolating metal parts from the heavy fraction high in plastics; reducing the size of the metal-reduced heavy fraction high in plastics that remains after the isolation of the metal parts; splitting up of the metal-reduced heavy fraction high in plastics, that remains after the isolation of the metal parts, into fractions high in plastics having different grain sizes; conditioning the separated fractions high in plastics at least partially in separate processes. The equipment includes appropriate devices for carrying out the foregoing processes. A highly pure granulate fraction may be obtained, which may be fed to material utilization.

A process for purifying plastic from a waste stream can include separating a waste stream into two or more mixtures of flakes with each mixture containing one or more plastic types and performing an automated sorting process on the first mixture to increase the weight percentage of a plastic family in the first mixture. The separation process can include at least one process selected from the group consisting of density separation, electrostatic sorting, froth flotation, and density differential alteration. Prior to the automated sorting process, the first mixture can include at least 80% by weight of one or more plastics from the plastic family.

Provided is a method for recovering a polycarbonate resin from a discarded optical disk and/or a recovered optical disk, which has a polycarbonate resin substrate. The following process steps (I) and (II) are applied to a chemically treated product, which is obtained by crushing a discarded optical disk and/or a recovered optical disk, and chemically treating the resulting crushed product. Process step (I): a step containing (a) removing a magnetic metal foreign matter with a magnet, and (b) identifying a colored foreign matter with an optical camera, and removing the colored foreign matter. Process step (II): a step containing detecting the presence of a metal foreign matter with a metal foreign matter detector, and removing a resin containing the metal foreign matter.

摘要:
The present invention provides, e.g., methods to recycle and/or reduce plastic, non-plastic, or a combination thereof, from a waste stream. The methods of the present invention include contacting the plastic waste with infrared (IR) energy at one or more frequencies and at one or more intensities, over a period of time effective to heat plastic present in the plastic waste.

Disclosed is a film-removal/sorting method for coated resin products, which comprises a film removal step (S5) of feeding a target material comprising a mixture of plural types of coated resin products each having a different softening temperature in at least either one of a film (2b) and a substrate (2a) thereof, into a film removing apparatus (20), and heating the target material in the film removing apparatus (20) up to a temperature allowing the substrate (2a) or the film (2b) of at least either one of the coated resin products to be softened in a non-molten state, so as to remove the film (2b) from the substrate (2a), and a sorting step (S9) of sorting the target material after being subjected to the film removal step (S5), between a film-free material (2A) consisting of the substrate (2a) of the coated resin product which has succeeded in removing the film (2b) therefrom, and an untreated target material (2B) consisting of the remaining coated resin products having residual films (2b). The film removal step (S5) and the sorting step (S9) are repeatedly carried out while increasing the temperature of the target material in the film removal step (S5) stepwise within a temperature range equal to or less than a highest one of softening temperatures of the films (2b) and the substrates (2a) of the coated resin products.
