The present invention belongs to the field of polyester fiber, and more particularly, relates to one type of degradable polyester fiber and its preparation method.
Chemical fiber, based on the development of organic synthetic chemistry and polymer chemistry in the 1920s, has become one of the most important roles of the industry just in a few decades with the output and applications far exceed those of natural fiber. Among them, polyester, nylon and acrylic fiber are the three major fibers in chemical fiber. Among these three fibers, because of the fastest development speed, the most extensive application and the highest output of polyester fiber, it is one of the most important textile materials. Polyester fiber is the largest variety of synthetic fiber, and is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through the melt spinning and the after-treatment processes, whereas PET is synthesized from terephalic acid (PTA, or dimethyl terephalate, DMT) and ethylene glycol (EG) through the esterification (or transesterification) and the following polycondensation. As a semi crystalline polymer with good thermoplastic properties, PET has been widely used in various fields such as clothing, packaging, biology and manufacturing. However, with the rapid development of PET industry, although PET will not directly cause harm to the environment, the difficulties in the PET waste treatment can indirectly increase environmental pressure due to its huge amount and strong resistance to atmospheric and microbial degradation. At present, landfill, incineration and recovery are the main methods to treat PET waste, from the environmental protection point of view, landfill and incineration are easy but dirty. Conversely, the degradation recovery has been believed as an efficient and scientific treatment for PET waste. However, the tight structure, the high crystallinity and the long natural degradation time of PET bring much restriction to the degradation recovery, and the highest proportion of recycling for common PET fabric in U.S. is just about 13% whereas in China that is even low as 10%. In practical application, chemical degradation methods are mostly used for PET, including hydrolysis and alcoholysis, as well as ammonolysis, amination and pyrolysis, however, they are still far from solving the recycling of a large number of waste clothing because of the problems such as slow degradation rate and poor degradation effect.
Therefore, it is of great significance to develop one type of degradable polyester fiber with high degradation rate and high degradation efficiency.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide one type of degradable polyester fiber and its preparation method, so as to overcome the inadequacies that the prior art cannot recycle part of polyester fibers.
To this end, the technical schemes of the invention are as follows:
The preparing method of a degradable polyester fiber is to cool a PET melt by ring-blowing after extruded from a trilobal spinneret hole on a spinneret; then manufacture a fully drawn yarn (FDY) according to an FDY process with the PET melt; after a relaxation heat treatment, the degradable polyester fiber is prepared;
wherein the PET melt disperses with doped ZrO2 powder, which is obtained through a process of evenly mixing a Mx+ solution and a Zr4+ solution at first, then dripping in a precipitant until a pH value is 9-10, and finally calcining the precipitate; wherein Mx+ is more than one ion selected from the group consisting of Mg2+, Li+ and Zn2+;
wherein a ratio of angles between centre lines of three leaves from the same trilobal spinneret hole is 1.0:(1.5-3.1):(1.5-3.1); wherein the ratio of lengths of two leaves forming the smallest angle to the length of the other leaf from the same trilobal spinneret hole is 3:3:2; wherein the ratio of the length to the width of the shortest leaf is (1.5-2):1, with the same widths of other two leaves from the same trilobal spinneret hole; wherein the shapes and sizes of three leaves from different trilobal spinneret holes are the same;
wherein all the trilobal spinneret holes are distributed in concentric circles, with a center line of the leaf opposite to the smallest angle in each trilobal spinneret hole passing through the center of the circle, and pointing away from the center of the circle.
The principle of the present invention is as follows.
The preparing method of degradable polyester fiber is extruding a PET melt from a trilobal spinneret hole on a spinneret and then spinning it, wherein the PET melt disperses with doped ZrO2 powder, wherein the degradation rate of polyester is accelerated through improving the oxygen reduction catalysis efficiency of ZrO2 doped with the metal oxide (more than one of magnesium oxide, lithium oxide and zinc oxide) via solution blending, coprecipitation and calcination. ZrO2, as an oxygen reduction catalyst substrate with high ionic conductivity, can form the stable cubic phase if doped with low valence metal ions (Mg2+, Li+ and Zn2+). At the same time, to a certain extent, the closer the radius of doping ion is to the radius of doped ion, the more conducive to the formation of oxygen vacancies and the more conducive to the conduction of oxygen ion. Hence in the present invention the metal ions (Mg2+, Li+ and Zn2+) with the same radius of Zr4+ ion (0.103 nm) are selected as the doping ions to improve the conduction rate of oxygen ions and the degree of oxygen reduction reaction during the Zr4+ catalyzed polyester degradation process;
wherein the prepared degradable polyester fiber is a trilobal profiled fiber, wherein the trilobal fiber has a larger surface area than a round fiber of the same denier, which is more conducive to oxygen ion conduction and enhances the degradation rate of the polyester.
The trilobal spinneret hole on the spinneret of this invention has three leaves with incompletely same lengths and incompletely same angles between them, wherein the center line of the leaf opposite to the smallest angle in each trilobal spinneret hole passes through the center of the circle, and points away from the center of the circle. The degradable polyester fiber is prepared through the spinneret and cooled by ring-blowing, wherein the cooling conditions of three leaves are seriously asymmetric and unbalanced, which makes the cooling speed of the melt at different positions in the cross-section different while extruding. During spinning, the cooling wind speed is between 1.80-2.30 m/s, wherein the high speed makes the part close to the air outlet cool faster, and the part far from the air outlet cool slower. When one of the three leaves of the trilobal spinneret hole directly facing the cooling air, the melt of the leaf cools quickly, while the rest of the trilobal spinneret hole cools slowly, which is more easily drawn and thinner under the tension of drafting, and its stress is more concentrated, so that in the trilobal cross-section of the fiber, there will be a structure of asymmetric stress of three leaves, wherein the fiber with asymmetric stress in the cross-section has the three-dimensional crimp shape during heat treatment or stretching, and curls well with a high fiber elastic recovery rate.
