The Copenhagen team put shredded fabrics into a mixture of Hartshorn salt (baking powder) and a non-toxic solvent. This is heated up to 160 degrees Celsius and left for 24 hours. \u2018The result is a liquid in which the plastic and cotton fibres settle into distinct layers \u2013 it\u2019s a simple and cost-effective process,\u2019 explains Shriaya Sharma, a doctoral student of the Jiwoong Lee group at the Department of Chemistry and co-author of the resulting study.<\/p>\n<p>The hartshorn salt, also called ammonium bicarbonate, is broken down into ammonia, CO2 and water. The combination of ammonia and CO2 acts as a catalyst, triggering a reaction that breaks down the polyester while preserving the cotton fibres. Although ammonia is toxic on its own, when combined with CO2 it is safe for use. Due to the mild nature of the chemicals involved, the cotton fibres remain intact.<\/p>\n<p>The new recycling method works on PET plastic alone, as well as on PET and cotton blended materials. While the method has only been tested at laboratory level, the researchers are in contact with companies to test the method on an industrial scale.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/plastics\/cooking-ingredient-key-to-simpler-textile-recycling\/54458\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-379\/\">Cooking ingredient key to simpler textile recycling<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11001,6855],"class_list":["post-116018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-polyester","tag-textile-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116018\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
