Date Sep. 14, 1995Magnetic powder and substrate material are separately recovered from finely chopped wastes of magnetic recording media consisting of a polymeric substrate and a magnetic layer present thereon in which finely divided magnetic powder is dispersed in crosslinked or uncrosslinked polymeric binder by treating the finely chopped wastes of magnetic recording media in a solution consisting of the potassium salt of a polyunsaturated fatty acid, or a biodegradable cleaning agent comprising phosphates, surfactants and a complexing agent, and one or more organic solvents or water while being subjected to mechanical action, and separately removing the magnetic powder from the substrate material by washing or sedimentation or in a magnetic separator.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic moulding material based on polyethylene terephthalate contains preferably 37-96 wt % PET, 1-20 wt % polymer material containing preferably polyurethane, and approximately 4-30 wt % pigment-type stiffening agent of, in particular, metal and/or metal oxide CrO2. The moulding materials can be advantageously processed in injection moulding and the resulting mouldings have advantageous properties, in particular higher density, compared to a comparable glass fibre-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The proposed thermoplastic moulding material can be advantageously used for small parts and housing parts, especially for electronic and data-processing devices.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the recovery for re-use of magnetic powder and polyethyleneterephthalate from a magnetic recording carrier consisting of a PET layer carrier and a magnetic layer cast thereon, in which finely particulate magnetic powder is finely dispersed in a polyurethane binder. According to the invention, finely cut waste magnetic tape is treated at a high temperature in an alkaline medium consisting of potassium salts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, one or more organic solvents and optionally water, a catalyst and surfactants. The magnetic layer detached in this way is separated from the layer carrier by a washing process and then both the layer carrier and the magnetic powder are dried. The valuable substances recovered in this way can be subjected to further processing and used for other application purposes.
Abstract:
In order to recover the magnetic powder and the PET from a magnetic recording medium comprising a polyethylene terephthalate layer base and a magnetic layer cast thereon, in which finely divided magnetic powder is finely dispersed in polyurethane binder, finely comminuted magnetic tape waste according to the invention is treated at elevated temperature in organic solvents, an acid soluble therein and alcohols or thio alcohols and optionally surfactants. The magnetic layer stripped off in this way is separated from the layer base by a washing process, and subsequently both layer base and magnetic powder are dried. The materials recovered in this manner can be processed and used in further ways.
