This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202210317848.1, entitled “Textile waste regenerated flooring and preparation method thereof” filed on Mar. 29, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of floorings, in particular to a textile waste regenerated flooring and a preparation method thereof.
Textile wastes are from many sources. During the processing of clothing and raw materials, due to chemical operations and machining, waste fabrics are produced inevitably. These fabrics are less contaminated, and thus need a pre-treatment procedure which is relatively simple. Waste clothing, carpets, and bed sheets have become major sources of the textile wastes, and are of enormous quantity, resulting in that their recycling is time-consuming and laborious. However, no matter what kind of product, the recycling can save textile raw materials and reduce environmental pollution.
After the textile waste is discarded as trash, if it is incinerated, not only will coals, electric power, and other energy sources be consumed, but incineration will also produce a large quantity of pollutants, including carbon dioxide and ash after combustion; if it is landfilled, not only is the land occupied, but produced hazardous substances also contaminate water and soil. Therefore, in the prior art, regenerated chemical fibers are produced from the textile waste by a chemical method, and then used to manufacture regenerated fiberboard materials by carding, cross lapping, needle punching, and strengthening processes. However, this method has high requirements on raw materials of textile wastes, and it is necessary to sort out chemical fiber materials such as pure polyesters; raw materials of textile waste that are not chemical fiber materials cannot be recycled, which makes it impossible to realize a large-scale resource utilization of the textile waste.
In view of the above, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a textile waste regenerated flooring and a preparation method thereof. In the present disclosure, a textile waste is used to prepare a flooring, and there is no limitation on the source of the textile waste, realizing a large-scale resource utilization of the textile waste.
To achieve the above object, the present disclosure provides the following technical solutions:
The present disclosure provides a textile waste regenerated flooring, which is prepared from components comprising 30-50 parts by weight of a textile waste fiber, 30-50 parts by weight of an inorganic filler, and 10-30 parts by weight of polyethylene, wherein the textile waste fiber is prepared from a textile waste.
In some embodiments, the textile waste regenerated flooring is prepared from components comprising 40 parts by weight of the textile waste fiber, 40 parts by weight of the inorganic filler, and 20 parts by weight of the polyethylene.
In some embodiments, the textile waste fiber is prepared by opening the textile waste and granulating in sequence.
In some embodiments, the inorganic filler is at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate and talc powder.
In some embodiments, the polyethylene has a number-average molecular weight of 40,000-300,000.
The present disclosure further provides a method for preparing the textile waste regenerated flooring as described in the above technical solutions, including the following steps:
In some embodiments, the melt extrusion is conducted at a temperature of 120-160° C.
In the present disclosure, there is no limitation to the source of the waste textile through accurately controlling dosages of waste textile, inorganic filler and polyethylene, and a large-scale resource utilization of the textile waste could be achieved. Moreover, the textile waste regenerated flooring could meet specific needs in appearance, and has a better decoration by controlling the type and color of materials; meanwhile, the textile waste regenerated flooring provided by the present disclosure has advantages of high strength, acoustic insulation and absorption, thermal insulation, and no pollution.
In the present disclosure, the method for preparing the textile waste regenerated flooring is simple and fast to complete, with fewer steps, favoring the realization of industrial production.
