Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to systems and ver drive to separate and clean materials from waste products such as used diapers and old newspapers.

State of the art

Disposable diapers are mainly made of plastic and Cellulose. The plastic forms a moisture-proof Fairing on the outside of the diaper, and the Cellu loosely forms the bulky absorbent medium on the inside page. The diaper is essentially a bag, that is carried by a human being. The Cellu loosely absorbs and holds all moisture, whereas the plastic ensures that there is no leakage through the bag there. Some disposable diapers are under Names like "ultra thin" or the like. Brought onto the market. At less cellulose is used in these diapers, and they ent hold a superabsorbent molecule (SAM) which is water absorbs up to a thousand times its own mass.

Disposable diapers have become immensely popular. Disposable diapers are of course only used once and then gone thrown after being soiled with excrement are. The final removal of the diapers involves ty typically transporting them to the local Landfill. Environmentalists complain about this removal of Diapers as a waste both in manufacturing and in removing the diapers. The manufacturer of way Throwing diapers need forest products to gain the necessary cellulose, while worth removing the diapers full landfill space is used. Many communities in the Countries see the exhaustion of their landfill space in Ver tie with the political difficulty, new garbage  to find landfill space. There is therefore a real Be allowed to recover the materials in disposable diapers.

The same can be said of newspapers that read and then thrown away. Recycling Zei Newspaper newspaper has been used for some time leads. A typical first step in recycling Ma Materials such as newsprint are cleaning in order to what impurities to remove. In the case of Zei The paper is cleaned to remove the ink remove. Known methods for recycling newspaper pairs pier include soaking the newsprint in Büt The newsprint will then progress to others transferred cleaner laid paper. Unfortunately, the ink follows that Newsprint from Bütte to Bütte, which makes it difficult clean the newsprint satisfactorily. Other Materials like rubber and glass are used in the first step recycling.

Description of preferred embodiments

The system and method according to the present invention involve recycling used products such as Weg throwing diapers with waste material in the form of excrement have been contaminated. Disposable diapers are more common made of plastic and cellulose. The plastic forms a moisture-proof barrier, whereas the cellulose, which is arranged inside the plastic as a  Cellulose medium for holding and holding fluids serves.

The system and method according to the present invention recycle the plastic and cellulose in the ver dirty diapers. The plastic and the cellulose are during an initial cleaning step from each other Cut. Then the plastic and the cellulose se ready to be cleaned of all waste material. The waste mat rial is eliminated, usually in a sewage system for correct sanitation. The cleaned cellu loose and the plastic can be sold and manufactured Products can be reused.

In Fig. 1 a schematic side view of the system 11, there is shown a preferred execution form is used for performing the method according to the present invention according to. The system includes a first washing machine 13 , a second washing machine 15 , a transfer pump 17 between the first and second washing machines, he most feed conveyor 19 , a second feed conveyor 21 and blower 23rd

The first and second washing machines 13 , 15 are essentially similar to one another. The washing machines are continuous batch washing machines that are commonly used for washing textiles such as clothing. The washing machines are conventional and commercially available. The washing machines in the preferred embodiment are continuous batch washing machines, model 76032, manufactured by Pellerin Mil nor Corporation, Kenner, Louisiana, USA. Each machine has several chambers 25 for washing goods therein. The chambers 25 are watertight so that they retain the washing water. Referring to FIG. 2, with reference to each chamber, it is formed by side walls 27 and a cylindrical outer wall 29 . The chambers 25 are arranged side by side in a row in each washing machine, so that the side walls 27 are adjacent to each other. Each chamber 25 in a washing machine has a basket 37 for holding the items to be washed. Each basket 37 has a cylindrical outer wall 39 and two side or end walls 41 . A longitudinal axis extends between the side walls 41 . The baskets 37 in each washing machine are arranged so that their longitudinal axes are collinear.

Each washing machine has an inlet 31 which communicates with one of the end baskets and an outlet 33 which communicates with the other end basket. Each basket 37 communicates with its adjacent baskets through openings 35 in the side walls 41 . The material to be washed is filled into the washing machine at the inlet 27 , moves in turn through the baskets 37 while it is being washed, moves through the openings 35 from chamber to chamber and is removed from the machine at the outlet 33 surrendered.

Each washing machine has a motor 36 for rotating the baskets 37 about their horizontal longitudinal axes within the fixed chambers 25 . All baskets rotate in the same direction and in the same direction. The rotation of the baskets causes the goods to be moved back and forth, thereby increasing the effectiveness of washing. Each basket 37 is provided with ribs 43 , as shown in Fig. 3, to further increase the reciprocation of the goods. The ribs 43 are fixed to the inner surface of the outer wall 39 and are spaced apart. When the basket 37 is rotated, the material is raised by the ribs 43 and dropped. The basket 37 rotates about 300 degrees in one direction and is then switched to rotate 300 degrees in the other direction. This reversal of the direction of rotation further increases the reciprocation of the goods. The time it takes for the basket to rotate 300 degrees in one direction and 300 degrees in the other direction is approximately 11 seconds. The goods are transferred from one basket to the next in a conventional manner by rotating the baskets beyond 300 degrees. When a basket is rotated over 300 degrees, the good enters a conventional ladle trough on the basket that allows the good to move from the basket to the next adjacent basket (or, if the basket is the last one, out of the Washing machine).

The outer wall 39 of each basket 37 is perforated with numerous openings 45 , 47 . The openings 45 allow What water to drain from the baskets. The size of the openings 45 , 47 in the baskets in the first and second washing machine 13 , 15 is different. In the first washing machine 13 , the first two baskets 37 A, 37 B openings 45 , which are dimensioned so that they retain the plastic portion of the diapers, whereas they allow the cellulose, waste material and water to pass through. A 304 stainless steel wire mesh 46 has been found to operate satisfactorily with a 0.3 mm (0.012 inch) wire diameter and 30 wires per 25.4 mm (inch). In the second washing machine 15 , all baskets 37 C have openings 47 which are dimensioned such that they hold back the cellulose in the basket, whereas they let water and waste material through (see FIG. 4). A 316 stainless steel wire mesh 48 with 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) wire diameter and 40 wires per 25.4 mm (inch) has been found to work satisfactorily. In FIGS. 2 and 4, the wire mesh 46, 48 and the openings 45, 47 shown schematically around the openings to better illustrate.

The baskets 37 are modified to create the appropriately sized openings. The baskets in a washing machine are made with openings of a relatively large size in the outer wall. To create the properly sized openings, a suitably sized wire mesh is welded to the inner surface of the outer wall 39 of a basket. Alternatively, the wire mesh could be connected to the outer wall by means of buttons, the buttons being connected to the grid and snapping into some of the openings in the outer wall 39 .

Each chamber 25 has a drain opening 55 located at the bottom of the chamber. Drain pipes 57 lead from the flow openings 55 to the next adjacent chamber, which is the inlet 31 closest. This results in a flow of wash water from chamber to chamber which is opposite to the flow of goods from chamber to chamber. The good moves from the inlet 31 to the outlet 33 while the wash water moves from the outlet to the inlet. This countercurrent saves water. Inlets 59 for fresh or clean water are seen in the last chamber before and can be provided in other chambers if necessary. The drain of the last chamber, which is adjacent to the outlet 33 , is connected to a treatment tank 34 . Thus, the water flows from the last chamber into the processing tank 34 . The processing tank has an outlet 34 a, which is connected to an inlet 59 a at the first chamber. Therefore, the treatment tank can be used to supply water to the first chamber.

The first two chambers of the first washing machine 13 have drain pipes 61 which lead away from the openings 55 . From the flow tubes 61 are both ver connected to the input of the pump 17 . The pump 17 is a conventional, commercially available, blockage-protected process pump, which is suitable for pumping fluids with entrained solids and fiber materials. The output of the pump 17 is connected to a line 63 which opens on the second conveyor 21 for the second washing machine 15 . Line 63 conveys onto conveyor 21 at a location located within a drain tank 65 . Drain valves 67 are provided in each of the drain pipes 61 leading from the first two chambers of the first washing machine. The drain valves 67 control the outflow of the fluids from the first two chambers. A check valve 69 is provided in the outlet line 63 of the pump. The check valve 69 prevents backflow into the pump and the chambers.

Each washing machine 13 , 15 has an input conveyor 19 , 21 for filling the items to be washed into the relevant first basket. Each washing machine is provided with a funnel 71 for receiving the goods and for introducing them into the inlet 31 . The input conveyor 19 , 21 promote the goods from drain tanks 73 , 65 , which are usually arranged at the bottom, upwards into the funnel 71 , into which the goods are emptied. The conveyors each have a perforated surface to allow the materials to drain before they are placed in the washing machines. Each drain tank 73, 65 is provided with a bottom outlet 75 which is connected to the drain system. Other filling devices such as slings or slides could be used instead of the conveyor.

Each washing machine is also provided with a blower 23 for blowing air into each of the washing machine chambers. The blowers 23 are connected to the washing machine chambers via lines 76 . The air lines 76 are connected to the chambers at locations below the baskets in question, so that air rises into the baskets. Is taken according to Fig. 3 to which reference and the part of the outer wall 29 of the chamber shows, conduit 76 is connected to a collecting chamber 78 which is connected to the outer wall 29. An opening 30 is seen to escape air from the plenum and into the chamber before. The opening extends from one chamber side wall 27 to the other side wall to distribute the air in the basket. The opening 30 is located approximately 45 degrees from the bottom of the chamber. This ensures that the air flow is not blocked by material that accumulates in the lower part of the chamber. The addition of air to the washing process initiates and accelerates the biological breakdown of the waste material in the used diapers. The blowers are conventional, commercially available units. In the preferred embodiment, the fans deliver 5.7 to 14.2 cubic meters (200 to 500 cubic feet) per minute of air at about 0.34 bar (5 psig) to each washing machine.

In addition to the blowers, an ozone generator 24 is provided for each washing machine (see FIG. 1). The ozone generator 24 is conventional and commercially available and typically includes a spark gap that is enclosed in a housing. If a spark forms over the electrode gap, ozone is formed. A pump 26 transfers the ozone from the generator 24 into the line 76 in question.

The ozone sterilizes the goods in every washing machine by killing bacteria. The use of chlorine bleach can be eliminated by using ozone. Ozone is also introduced into the processing tank 34 .

The outlet of each washing machine consists of a ramp 77 which empties the goods from the last chamber into a container 79 . The material in the container 79 of the second washing machine is dripped into a carrying sling 81 (see FIG. 5) for transferring and for transportation into an extractor 83 (see FIG. 6). The sling is made of lattice material so that the material is allowed to drip from it while being transported by a rope 85 . The extractor 83 is conventional and commercially available. The extractor presses the moisture out of the material. The extractor 83 is modified by equipping it with the same type of grille as in the second washing machine 15 . When the ex traction apparatus presses cellulose, the grid retains the cellulose in the working space of the extraction apparatus.

The method according to the present invention will now be described. Is taken according to Fig. 1, to which reference who to the used diapers 49 schin conveyor 19 applied to the first Washing machines, to a collection point. The collection point is located within the drain tank 73 so that fluids can run out. The used diapers are soiled with urine and fecal matter. No preprocessing such as shredding or opening the diapers is required.

The diapers 49 are filled into the first basket 37 A of the first chamber of the first washing machine 13 . There the diapers are mixed with water, alkali and soap (or a ten sid). The water is fresh, clean, cold (24 ° C or 75 ° F) water from a water inlet 59 connected to the first chamber. The particular alkali used in the preferred embodiment is orthosilicate. A sufficient amount of alkali is added to bring the pH of the mixture to the desired level between 10.5 and 14. Mixtures with a higher pH are required for larger items. In practice it has been shown that pH values of 13-14 are well suited. The soap has a neutral pH of 7. The first basket is rotated back and forth about its longitudinal axis so that the mixture is moved back and forth. As it is moved back and forth, the cellulose in the diapers is separated from the plastic. In addition, the process of cleaning the waste material from the cellulose and the plastic is started. The high pH caused by the alkali makes it much easier to release dirt or waste from the cellulose and plastic. The neutral soap keeps the released waste material in the water in solution, thereby preventing the waste material from attaching again to the cellulose and the plastic. Air supplied by the blower 23 and ozone supplied by the ozone generator 24 rise from the bottom of the chamber and enter the basket and further agitate the mixture, thereby causing separation the cellulose is supported by the plastic. The increased back-and-forth movement caused by the air also serves to mix the chemicals in the washing liquid more quickly, which causes the chemicals in the washing liquid and the goods to move quickly. The washing times are shortened by blowing in air. In addition, the water mixture is aerated to create favorable conditions for the biological breakdown of the waste materials, and the ozone sterilizes the plastic and cellulose. Further, blowing air from outside the basket prevents the basket perforations from being clogged by the items being washed.

After the diapers have been washed in the first basket for a predetermined period of time, e.g. B. about 10 minutes, the drain valves 67 are opened, which allows fluid to flow out of the first chamber and the first basket 37 A (and from the second chamber and the second basket 37 B). The plastic 51 is retained in the first basket by the sieve mesh, whereas a mud-like fluid flows out of the basket 37 A and the chamber. The mud-like fluid consists of water, the separated cellulose, the waste materials, the alkali and the soap. The first basket is then rotated in connection with the other baskets in the first washing machine beyond 300 degrees so that its contents are transferred to the next basket, namely the second basket 37 B. The contents of the second basket are then washed as it has been described with reference to the first basket to separate any remaining cellulose from the plastic. After the wash cycle has been completed in the second basket, the Entleerven 67 are opened, which permits fluid flows 37 B and the second chamber from the second basket tile.

Because the first washing machine 13 is of the continuous type, the first basket 37 A is filled with dirty diapers 49 each time after it has been emptied into the drain and into the second basket. This maintains a continuous flow of materials through the system. The operation of the filling conveyor 19 , 21 is intermittent, because they only work when the first basket is to be filled with good. Both drain valves 67 are opened together and then closed in synchronism.

The contents of the second basket are emptied into the third basket. At this stage, the content of the third basket is plastic 51 , which is free of cellulose, the cellu having been separated and drained in the first two baskets. If the plastic continues to move through the remaining compartments of the first washing machine 13 , the plastic is washed in warm water (54 ° C or 130 ° F) and in alkali and soap to clean the plastic of all waste material.

Approximately in the middle on the way through the first washing machine 13 , sand is introduced into the machine at an inlet 60 so as to form a slurry of sand, plastic and water. The sand is used to help clean the typical smooth plastic material. The sand creates points of friction, so that the back and forth movement of the plastic through the basket and the air cleans the plastic more carefully. The sand is of the type used for sandblasting.

The sand moves through the first with the plastic Washing machine from the basket where it is introduced until to the last basket. The baskets are made by joining one 316 wire mesh with the inside of the basket wall modifi graces. The grid keeps the plastic in the basket, to prevent smaller plastic material from entering the Outflow of the relevant chamber arrives.

In the last basket or building block, the basket is modified to provide two layers of mesh. An inner lattice layer is a 304 lattice, and during the wash cycle (and the rotation of the basket) the sand passes, while the plastic is retained. An outer layer of 316 mesh is disposed around the outer periphery of the inner mesh layer. The inner and outer grid layers are separated by a space of 305-457 mm (12-18 inches). (Such a nested arrangement of grids or baskets is shown in Fig. 11 and will be described in more detail below.) This space intercepts the sand because the sand does not pass through the outer layer of the grating. In the last building stone, the sand is then separated from the plastic. The sand falls into the trap between the two layers. The sand is recovered from the trap and then returned to the machine via inlet 60 .

The plastic is removed from the washing machine and opened applied a wet conveyor. The flyover from the Washing machine can either be manual or mechanical Ways. While the plastic is on the conveyor it can be sorted by color, etc.

A problem with the known methods for recycling Plastic is the removal of printing inks from art been fabric. Inks are commonly used for printing of information used on the plastic. If the pressure color is not removed, then the recycled art Fabric usually discolored by the inks, which the commercial appearance of the recycled plastic is reduced. Due to the sand used Remove printing inks from the plastic by grinding conditions, which enables the plastic to recycle when it is recycled to give a sprightly color and discoloration by keeping the printing inks clear. This procedure for Removal of ink from the plastic can be use any type of plastic, not just the Plastic parts of diapers. For example, Bonboneinwic Plastic paper can be used with this process be colored. The plastic can be made with several plastic layers or be laminated with layers of paper.  

As an alternative to sand, a water-soluble aromatic solvent such as mineral spirits or paint remover can be used to remove any gum and label attached to the plastic. As yet another alternative, both sand and an aromatic solvent can be used. During the washing process, a sterilizing agent can be added to sterilize the plastic. Ozone from the ozone generator 24 can be used for this. Alternatively, chlorine bleach can be used. However, using sand reduces the need for ozone or bleach.

The water-cellulose sludge that has flowed out of the first two baskets of the first washing machine 13 enters the pump 17 , which then pumps it through the line 63 to apply it to the second conveyor 21 with which the second washing machine 15 is filled. The filling point of the second conveyor 21 is located inside the drain tank 65 , in which much of the water and the associated waste material flows out of the cellulose before the cellulose is filled into the second washing machine 15 .

The water-cellulose sludge 89 is then filled into the first basket of the second washing machine 15 . The cellulose is washed in hot water (about 77 ° C or 170 ° F), alkali and soap. After the wash cycle, the Ent empty valve 91 is opened in the first chamber, which allows the Ent empty the first chamber into the drain system via the Ab flow tube 90 . The wire mesh in the baskets of the second washing machine, which has smaller openings than the wire mesh in the first washing machine, retains the cellulose in the baskets. The cellulose in the first basket is then transferred to the second basket, where it is washed again in hot water, alkali and soap. A sufficient amount of alkali is added to raise the pH of the mixture to the desired value between 10.5 and 14. In practice it has been shown that pH values of 13-14 are well suited. In the next basket the cellulose is rinsed with hot water and in the fourth basket the cellulose is washed with bleach. The bleach, which can be chlorine bleach, hydrogen peroxide or oxalic acid, makes the Cellu loose white and sterilizes it. The cellulose is then rinsed with water and then rinsed with water and acid or sodium fluorocarbonate to reduce the pH to about 6.5 to 7.0.

The cellulose 53 is discharged from the last basket of the second washing machine 15 and fills ge in a sling 81 , as shown in Fig. 5. The carrying sling 81 is formed from a network which loosely holds back the cleaned cellu and allows water to flow off. The support loop is attached to a rope 85 which moves the support loop from the outlet of the second washing machine 15 to the entrance of the extractor 83 . The contents of the sling are then filled into the inlet of the extraction apparatus. The extractor 83 compresses the cellu loosely into a block 93 so that the water is extracted from the cellulose. A mesh screen in the extractor retains the cellulose inside and allows water to pass through. The resulting block 93 of cellulose is then moved by a conveyor 95 from the extractor to a shipping or storage location.

After being pressed in the extractor, the cellulose can be placed in a dryer to remove any moisture. The dryer is a conventional, commercially available device that has been modified. The dryer has an all-round basket. The perforations of the basket have been reduced by being connected to the same type of wire mesh as in the second washing machine 15 . The wire mesh retains the cellulose in the basket. The plastic can also be dried in a dryer, but separately from the cellulose.

In some diapers, the amount of cellulose required to absorb moisture is reduced by adding a substance known in the industry as a superabsorbent molecule (SAM). The SAM is believed to be a type of acrylic polymer. The SAM absorbs many times its own weight in moisture. The SAM is separated from the plastic in the first washing machine 13 together with the cellulose. The SAM is then pumped with the cellulose into the second washing machine 15 . The SAM can be neutralized in the second washing machine and removed from the cellulose. Before and after washing the cellulose with alkali and soap, the cellulose is washed in water and either sodium silicofluoride (or sodium fluorosilicate) or sodium chloride. The sodium silicon fluoride neutralizes the SAM and allows it to flow out of the cellulose with the rinse water.

The water that flows from the washing machines 13 , 15 into the flow system is naturally contaminated with the waste material from the used diapers. This wastewater can be discharged into an urban wastewater network, where it is treated by the urban wastewater treatment plant. Alternatively, a dedicated wastewater treatment plant can be used to treat the wastewater from the recycling process.

An alternative method is now described. In this method, the first washing machine 13 is provided with four components or chambers, whereas the second washing machine 15 is provided with seven components or chambers. The soiled diapers are filled into the first basket of the first washing machine 13 , which is located in the first module. Water at 38 ° C (100 ° F) and acid are also added to the first building block. Enough acid is added to achieve a pH of about 5.5 in the wash liquor. The basket is then rotated and air is blown in with the blower 23 . During the washing process in the first building block, the diapers remain intact and some of the waste material is removed. The dirty washing water and waste material leave the building block via the drain, so that the diapers remain in the basket of the first building block. The water and waste material go into the sewage system.

The acid reduces the superabsorbent molecules or one other absorptive polymer used in diapers is effectively reduced to a smaller size. The washing process in the first building block reduces weight and volume diapers by about half.

After washing in the first building block, the diapers transferred to the basket of the second building block. There will be them in water with 90 ° C (195 ° F), a neutral surfactant and sufficient alkali to maintain the pH of the wash liquor to increase about 12.5, washed. The diapers are through the basket movement and the blown air back and forth moves. The diapers break open and allow the Separate cellulose and the plastic. Much of the Cellu loosely leaves the basket when emptying, when the Cel lulose is pumped into the second washing machine. What about Cellulose remaining in the basket is mixed with the Plastic transferred to the basket of the third building block. There the cellulose and the plastic are mixed with water rinses. The cellulose in the third building block flows from the concerned basket and is in the second washing machine pumped. The plastic that is in the third basket remains in the basket in the fourth or last Block transferred. The plastic is back with water flushed in the last block, whereupon it from the Washing machine is removed.

The fourth component can be equipped with an inner basket to remove insoluble contaminants from the plastic. This arrangement is shown in Fig. 11 and will be described in more detail below.

Both in the first and in the second washing machine the good that is in the baskets is replaced by a Rotate the basket in question and by blowing in Air back and forth in the basket from the bottom of the brick moved.

The cellulose, which is filled in the second washing machine 15 , is washed as described above. The superabsorbent molecule, which was reduced in the first washing machine, is separated from the cellulose and flows out of the basket through the basket perforations. As the cellulose continues to move through the building blocks of the second washing machine, more and more of the superabsorbent molecule is washed out of the cellulose. Therefore, the cellulose that is removed at the end of the second washing machine is cleaned and free of superabsorbent mo lekül.

In Fig. 7, a recycling system 101 is shown according to another embodiment. The system of FIG. 7 uses first and second washing machines 103 , 105 of the continuous type instead of the continuous type as described above with reference to FIG. 1. The first and second washing machines 103 , 105 each contain a single basket and a single chamber. Such a system is used for small recycling operations where the amount of diapers that are recycled does not justify the effort to buy the continuous washing machines shown in FIG. 1.

The basket of the first washing machine 103 is lined with a wire mesh, which is similar to the wire mesh 46 in the continuously working first washing machine 13 , so that the plastic is retained therein and the cellulose is let through. The first washing machine 103 has a drain line 107 for draining off all waste water and cellulose. The drain line has a T-piece, one branch of the drain leading to a pump 109 and the other branch leading to the drain system 111 . Both branches have a drain valve 113 , 115 for controlling the flow. A Lei line piece 117 is connected to the outlet of the pump 109 . A check valve 119 is provided in line 117 near the pump 109 . The line 117 opens into the upper end of a receiving tank 121 , which is arranged above the two-th washing machine 105 .

The holding tank 121 , shown in FIGS . 7 and 8, allows the cellulose to drain before it is filled into the second washing machine 105 . The receiving tank 121 is mounted on the second washing machine 105 by a fastening device 122 . The receiving tank 121 , which is open at the top, has four side walls 123 , 125 and a bottom wall 127 . One of the side walls serves as a door 125 that is movable between an open and a closed position. The tank 121 has a wrong bottom wall 129 made of wire mesh, so that a gap between the two bottom walls 127 , 129 is present. The wire mesh 129 allows water to flow through, but retains the cellulose. A drain opening 131 is provided in the bottom wall 127 . A drain line 133 connects the drain opening 131 to the drain system. The receiving tank 121 has a water nozzle 135 below the wire mesh for cleaning the wire mesh 129 with a water spray.

The receiving tank 121 is movable between a receiving position and a delivery position. In the receiving position, the tank 121 is substantially horizontal so that it retains the cellulose therein, unless the tank is tilted a little so that the drain opening 131 reaches the lowest position. A hydraulic piston actuator 137 moves the tank 121 to the dispensing position in which the tank is inclined upward, as shown by the chain lines in FIGS. 7 and 8. In the dispensing position, the door 125 pivots into the open position and enables the cellulose to fall through a loading opening 139 into the basket of the second washing machine 105 .

The second washing machine 105 is provided with the top A fill opening 139 , a drain line 141 and an emptying valve 143 . The basket of the second washing machine 105 is lined with wire mesh, which is similar to the wire mesh 48 in the continuously operating second washing machine 15 , so that the cellulose is retained therein, against which water and waste material pass. Both washing machines 103 , 105 are provided with fans 145 for ventilating the items to be washed.

The ozone generators 24 and the pumps 26 according to FIG. 1 can also be used in the arrangement according to FIG. 7 in order to supply the washing machines 103 , 105 with ozone.

For the recycling of diapers with the system according to FIG. 7, a filling of diapers is brought into the first washing machine 103 . The first washing machine has a door 147 which is used for filling and emptying. Assuming that the first washing machine 103 has a 275 pound capacity, the diapers are first washed in water at 47 ° C (75 ° F) and with 227 g (eight ounces) of alkali for ten minutes. Then the drain valve 113 is opened towards the pump 109 and the first washing machine is emptied, the pump 109 pumping the water-cellulose sludge into the holding tank 121 . After draining has taken two minutes, the drain valve 113 is closed. The contents of the first washing machine 103 are then washed in warm water (55 ° C or 130 ° F) with 114 g (four ounces) of alkali and soap for ten minutes. Then the drain valve 113 towards the pump is opened for two minutes, the pump 109 transferring the sludge from the first washing machine 103 into the receiving tank 121 . The pump 109 operates whenever the drain valve 113 is open. All cellulose in the first washing machine has now been emptied, with the plastic remaining behind.

Sand (and / or an aromatic solvent) is introduced into the first washing machine to remove ink and other contaminants from the plastic. The plastic is washed in the manner described above, using water, a surfactant, alkali (if required) and a sterilizing agent such as ozone and by agitation (both due to the agitation of the basket and due to the blowing in of air ). When the plastic is clean, the sand is separated from the plastic by a perforated basket. The sand can be deposited in the first washing machine 103 if the basket has perforations of the correct size (such as a double wall as described above with respect to machine 13 ), or in another machine.

The water-cellulose sludge that has been pumped by the pump 109 is allowed to flow into the holding tank 121 . The cellulose is then emptied into the second washing machine 105 through the fill opening 139 where it is washed in water at 77 ° C (170 ° F), 227 g (eight ounces) of alkali and soap for ten minutes. The drain valve 143 is then opened for two minutes, which allows the water and waste material to be drained into the drain system 111 . The cellulose is washed again in water at 77 ° C (170 ° F) with 284 g (ten ounces) of alkali and soap for ten minutes. The drain valve 143 is opened for two minutes. The cellulose is rinsed with water at 77 ° C (170 ° F) for two minutes, after which the drain valve is opened for two minutes. The cellulose is then washed in a quart of bleach and water at 65 ° C (150 ° F) for ten minutes, after which the drain valve is opened for two minutes. Alternatively, ozone can be used as a sterilant. The cellulose is rinsed with water at 55 ° C (130 ° F) for two minutes, after which the drain valve is opened for two minutes. The cellulose is then rinsed in 43 ° C (110 ° F) water for two minutes before the washer is drained into the drain system for two minutes. Then the cellulose is washed for five minutes in a rinse with water at 24 ° C (75 ° F) and 170 g (six ounces) of acid. The washing machine is drained into the drain system, and the cleaned cellulose is removed. The cellulose is put into a roundsling 81 and then transferred to an extractor 83 to extract moisture-to ness, as has been described above.

In addition to recycling plastic and cellulose used diapers, it has been shown that the process and the system of the present invention also many recycle other used products and goods. Before recy reuse recycled materials for new products and goods the materials must first be of oils and Greases, dirt, etc. can be cleaned. Many products uh used diapers because they contain cellulose mate rialien and non-cellulose materials (such as plastic, Me tall parts, etc.). The applicant has found that Items such as peanut tins, frozen tins Fruit juice, corrugated boxes and the like can be recycled. For peanut tins and tins for frozen fruit juice the metal edges and plastic lids in the first Washer withheld and washed, whereas Cellulose or paper that make up the rigid paper walls the cans exist, in the second washing machine be as described above with reference to diapers has been. Corrugated boxes use metal and plastic (e.g. metallic staples and plastic shipping label ten) of cellulose, from which the walls of the boxes consist, separated in the first washing machine. The Cellu loosely leaves the first washing machine to in the second Washing machine to be washed. Grain product chess (rectangular and cylindrical such as containers for quakers Oats) can turn into cellulose (the box walls) and plastic  (the inner lining) can be recycled. Milk and fruit juice boxes can turn into cellulose and plastic materials be recycled. Disposable food containers such as Be Crockery and dishes can become plastic and cellulose mate materials are recycled. A bag with a vapor barrier can be too Cellulose and plastic materials can be recycled. By Rotating the basket and blowing air back and forth Moving the good becomes the cellulose that make up the walls these containers exist, broken open enough to to pass through the grid of the first basket, whereby the separation of the cellulose from the non-cellu loose materials is made possible.

Another good that can be processed is plastic such as plastic wrappings (e.g. candy packaging, Ziga rescue packaging). Plastic containers can also be used wash and be recycled. A particularly difficult one too recycling type of plastic container is a mo gate oil container. Although the containers are made from recyclable Consisting of plastic, recycling is difficult because of it it is difficult to free the plastic from the oil.

One method of processing plastic oil containers is to grind or cut the containers into small parts. These pieces, which may be the same size as that of the tires discussed above, are then washed in a washing machine 13 . The pieces are washed in water with 82 ° C (180 ° F), sand, a neutral surfactant and alkali. Washing removes the oil from the pieces. In addition, the sand removes any paint, labels and other non-plastic materials from the plastic pieces.

The inventor also found that ver drive and the system according to the present invention also soiled pulp products such as newsprint and waste recycle paper. Newsprint comes from newspapers. Old paper includes used office paper such as writing paper,  Typewriter or copy paper. The present Invention removes ink from paper. For example, Newsprint is like cellulose as it is in Win deln finds, and therefore it can with the same system and same cellulose cleaning process become. Newsprint and cellulose both consist of Cellulose.

For the recycling of waste paper such as newspapers, a filling of newspapers is brought into the second washing machine 15 , 105 . The same washing process as described above for washing the cellulose in the second washing machine is used to wash the newspapers. However, slightly hotter water (84 ° C or 185 ° F) is used to help break up the inks on the newspaper. The washing process removes the ink from the paper and directs it into the drain system 111 . The wire mesh 48 in the second washing machine retains the paper in the basket, while allowing the ink and water to pass through. The cleaned newspaper is removed from the second washing machine 15 , 105 and introduced into the sling 81 and the extraction device 83 for extracting the moisture from the paper.

A problem with the known methods for recycling Newspaper is that the quality (and thus the com mercial value) of the end product due to the state of the ge needed newsprint, from which the brought material exists. Dirty, in the sun baked newspaper is considered to be of lower commercial value viewed as relatively clean (apart from the print color) newspaper. The present invention makes it possible clean, dirty newspaper baked in the sun gene and process to their commercial value increase. By washing the newspaper in a modified Washing machine for laundry is any dirt in the Zei tung washed away. Baking in the sun makes a time  tung yellow, because of the high acidity of the zei paper. The high acidity is a by-product of Paper making process. Different from the paper maker Adjustment process is alkali for cleaning in the invention the newspaper used, the pH being high is increased. Using an alkaline wash liquor and either ozone or chlorine bleach (or from den) the newspaper is made white, which makes it a commercial target les appearance is improved. The alkali rejuvenates the Cel lulose again to make the cellulose fibers brittle to reduce. Because the newspaper is in an alkaline wash washed brisk, it is also no longer a acid paper. As such, the recycled newspaper is not get worse as quickly as acid paper.

In addition to recycling materials with cellulose it has been found that the present invention also mate recycled without any cellulose. For example, the present invention recycles vehicle tires that have been used. Known methods of treating used tires include either storing the reins landfill sites or shredding tires Incinerate in an incinerator. The storage of the Rei landfills take up land, that of production is withdrawn. The inside of the tires also collect what and are therefore a fertile breeding ground for insects like mosquitoes. Burning the tires is over lustful and creates air pollution. Before the tires can be recycled, they must be cleaned. The used tires are covered with grease, road oil and dirt contaminated. The polyester reinforcement and the tread are two special places where fats, oils and dirt are accumulate and are difficult to remove.

For recycling tires by the present invention the tires are shredded to make small rubber pellets or -make pieces. It will be conventional and in stores available shredder used. In the preferred embodiment  The pellets range in size from 2.5 to 25 mm (0.1-1.0 inch). Many tires contain steel and others Types of belts. The entire tire including the Belt is shredded.

The tire pellets are filled directly into the second washing machine 15 . The pellets are washed in water, soap (or another surfactant) and alkali. The same washing process as described above with respect to the cellulose in the second washing machine is used. The baskets and air move the pellets back and forth, removing dirt, grease and oil from the pellets. The ozone, which is introduced into the washing machine 15 together with the air blower, is used to sterilize the tire pieces.

After the tire pieces have been washed, they become removed from the washing machine and dried. The dry NEN is done by inserting the tire pieces into one Dryer. The dryer is made by lining the inside of his basket with a 316 grid modified to the Rei hold pieces of cage in the basket. After drying the cleaned rubber can be mixed with new rubber, to make new rubber products out of it. For example The cleaned rubber can be vulcanized or melted become.

In addition, the present invention cannot Wash cellulosic materials such as glass containers for recycling. The glass containers such as bottles and the like are in the first Basket of the second washing machine filled. Hot water (71 ° C or 160 ° F) and a neutral surfactant like a mild one Soap is added to the first basket. Because glass for what is impenetrable, it is believed that no star ken surfactants are required. The first basket is turned and air is injected into the first basket by the fan blow so that the glass containers are moved back and forth. During the float, it is likely that  it to break some and possibly all of them glass containers will come. The 316 grid lining The inside of the first basket will cover all the glass pieces with the exception of the tiniest in the first basket All eti chains that were on the glass containers from the glass been separated. Cellulose or paper labels are the leave the first basket over the grate. Ozone can get into the Chamber to be initiated to sterilize the glass.

If additional cleaning of the glass is required, additional washing cycles in subsequent baskets, who are lined with a grid, who performed the. When the glass is cleaned, it will wash out machine removed. The cleaned glass is dried either in a sling, a drum dryer or by passing the glass through hot air.

The present invention also provides for the composting of organic material such as kitchen and garden waste (see FIG. 9).

To compost this waste, the material is filled into the first basket 153 of a washing machine 151 . The washing machine, which has usually been manufactured for washing clothing and textiles, has been modified. The first basket 153 is lined with 316 grids as in the second washing machine 15 according to FIG. 1. Subsequent baskets in composting machine 151 are lined with finer grids (which have smaller perforations than the grid perforations of the first basket). Therefore, the perforations of the grid in the second basket 153 A of the composting machine are smaller than the perforations of the grid in the first basket; the perforations of the grid in the third basket of the composting machine are smaller than the perforations of the grid in the second basket; etc., where the grid perforations gradually decrease in size from the first basket to the last basket.

The drains 155 of the composting machine are so ausgebil det that a circulation back into the washing machine follows, instead of the fluids being emptied into the sewage system. The drains 155 of the first four building blocks or chambers are connected to a common pipe 157 . A solids pump 159 is switched in series with the tube 157 , so that the input of the pump is connected to the tube 157 . The outlet of the pump is connected to a pipe 161 , which opens into the interior of the fourth chamber 163 . The outlet of the tube 161 can be designed such that it opens into the interior of the basket of the fourth chamber 163 . So with the fluids that are collected by the emptying of the first four chambers, it is directed back into the fourth basket. A similar loop with piping and pumps is used in the remaining chambers, which are the fifth to the last chamber of the machine. This other loop directs fluids from the last chambers back to the last basket.

A blower 23 is provided as in the second washing machine according to FIG. 1, but there is no ozone generator. The fan blows air into all chambers. (In Fig. 9, for the sake of simplicity, the blower connections have only been shown for the first few chambers).

To compost the waste material, the waste material 165 is filled into the first basket 153 of the composting machine 151 . Warm water 167 (37-49 ° C or 98-120 ° F) and a small amount of alkali are also placed in the first basket or chamber. The amount of water that is used is sufficient to generate a solid waste mass. Too much water results in a thin paste. For a Milnor 76032 continuous batch washer, the level of the water should be approximately 76 mm (three inches) above the bottom of the basket when filled with 110 pounds of waste. The amount of alkali required increases the pH of the mixture in the first basket to about 8.0-8.5. This promotes the growth of bacteria. In addition, nutrients can be added to accelerate biological growth. One type of nutrient supply that can be used is dry or flour-like dog food. Then the first basket is rotated as described above. In addition, the blower 23 introduces air into the first basket. Thus, the waste material is moved back and forth by the movement of the basket and by the blown air that initiates biological activity.

After being moved back and forth often enough, for example for 20 minutes, machine 151 automatically stops rotating the first basket (and the other baskets since all the baskets in the machine rotate in unison) and opens drain 155 (and the drains from all other chambers). The liquid from the basket goes through the grid of the first basket and into the river. The drain is then closed and the liquid is pumped into the fourth basket by pump 159 . The machine then automatically transfers the contents of the first basket 153 to the second basket 153 A (and the contents of each basket to the next basket). The to-and-fro cycle is started again, rotating the baskets and introducing air into the baskets. This is how the waste material is processed as it moves through the composting machine. When material 169 exits the machine from the last basket, it is placed in a container 171 where excess water can drain through perforations 173 in the bottom of the container.

Processed material 169 can be used as composted material is normally used. For example, the processed material can be mixed with soil in gardens.

Methane gas 175 will be generated during the processing of the waste material in the washing machine. This gas is sucked out of the chambers by a suction pump 177 and sent into a storage tank 179 . The upper ends of the chamber 25 in the washing machine are closed by a hood 181 , which prevents the methane gas from escaping.

After stored in tank 179 , the methane can be sold or used as a fuel source to heat water that is fed to the washing machine through entrances 167 . To use the methane to heat water, the methane is passed from the storage tank 179 to a burner 185 in a water heater 183 . The methane is burned in the burner 185 to generate heat. The heated water is then directed back to the water inlets 167 via a pipe 187 . A valve 189 controls the water flow.

The process for composting waste material is true using an alkaline mixture but the waste material can be an acidic mixture can be composted. An acid like it Acetic acid, carbonic acid or oxalic acid is the waste material rial added in the washing machine. Sufficient acidity added to lower the pH to 2.3 to 4.0.

During any of the recycling processes described above, the wastewater that flows from the washing machine can become contaminated with heavy metals. To reduce the heavy metal content of the waste water, the waste water is acted upon in a treatment unit 201 with ozone (cf. FIG. 10). The waste water is conveyed through the flow pipe 90 (or 111 ) into the treatment unit 201 . The treatment unit receives ozone from an ozone source 24 . The ozone bubbles up through the wastewater, causing a reduction in heavy metals. The waste water leaves the treatment unit 201 through a pipe 203 , which it then conveys to the drainage system. From there, the wastewater can be directed to a wastewater treatment plant. The treatment center is cleaned periodically to remove accumulated impurities.

One of the chambers of the first and second washing machine 13, 15 according to FIG. 1 can be modified to remove insoluble Ver impurities to be removed, the processing operations are not influenced by the proces be in the preceding chambers. This modified chamber may be the last chamber that is adjacent to outlet 33 . The chamber is modified by seeing nested baskets in front. The other parts of the chamber are as described above. Referring to FIG. 11, the basket assembly in the modified chamber has an inner basket 211 and an outer basket 213 . The inner basket 211 is inserted into the inside of the outer basket 213 . The inner basket is connected to the outer basket so that both rotate in unison. A gap 215 separates the inner basket and the outer basket. Each basket is provided with rip pen 217 on its inner circumference. The gap between the baskets can be several centimeters (inches) wide and is in any case wider than the ribs 217 on the outer basket, so that goods located in the gap can freely pass over the ribs. The size of the last chamber can be increased by 50% compared to the size of the previous chambers so that the inner basket 211 can hold a full load of the goods.

Both baskets are provided with a wire mesh, the mesh defining the desired perforation size. The perforations of the grid of the inner basket are larger than the perforations of the grid of the outer basket. For example, when cellulose is processed by the washing machine, the grid of the inner basket has 30 wires per 25.4 millimeter (inch), whereas the grid of the outer basket has 40-60 wires per 25.4 millimeter (inch).

During operation, the material to be processed enters the inner basket 211 through the opening 35 from the previous chamber. The baskets are rotated as described above to move the goods back and forth. In addition, air can be blown in. The good like cellulose passes through the grid of the inner basket 211 and is retained in the gap 215 by the outer basket 213 . This is because the good is unable to pass through the grille of the outer basket. The contaminants, which include chaff, hair, undigested food, etc., are retained by the inner basket.

The inner basket is provided with a non-perforated part 219 which serves as the ladle for the outer basket. This part 219 is located above the ribs when the orientation in Fig. 11 is used. In addition, be found above the ribs opposite to the scoop 219 a non-perforated part 221 , which prevents that goods, which is arranged in the gap 215 , comes back into the inner basket. The inner basket also has a perforated ladle 223 . When it is time to move the goods out of the chamber, the baskets rotate one more complete turn than is achieved during the reciprocating operations. This loosens the cellu, which is in the gap 215 , to the ladle 219 , where the cellulose is prevented from re-entering the inner basket and is discharged from the chamber. The cellulose exits via a ramp 77 (see FIG. 1), from where it reaches a container. The contaminants in the inner basket are moved by rotation onto the ladle 223 , from where the contaminants pass over a separate ramp that directs them to a separate container.

The above description and the representations in the Drawings serve only to illustrate the Principles of this invention are not limitative understanding meaning.
