Abstract:
Large amounts of coated foils can be fed to a continuous recycling process in which the coating carrier material and any pigments present in the coating can be recovered. The treatment is carried out at room temperature in an alkaline medium comprising soft soap, organic solvents and/or water, optionally with the use of catalyst. The solvent is recirculated. After the first treatment step, the foil shreds can be treated in a second step with a solvent - water mixture, in a similar manner to the first step. A third step involves thorough final washing in a water or solvent circuit. The recovered foil shreds are dried, pressed, ground and shaped as desired in a plastics agglomerator and the recovered pigments are dried in a vacuum. The process and devices can advantageously be used for any type of coating carriers or printed carriers, for example magnetic coating carriers, printed plates or pigment-free coating carriers.
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.
