Due to several factors including textile waste accumulation and the use of environmentally harsh chemicals, industry has become second worst polluting worldwide. Therefore, significant effort is currently underway find solutions reduce this impact. In study, coloured cotton fabrics were regenerated through a wet spinning process into new fibres, hence recycling not only fibre materials but also colour. The impact pretreatments on colour retention degree polymerization cotton-based was...
In this article we propose the EcoPrinting technology, which aims at a near zero carbon foot print means of recycling waste polymers into functional, working products. To achieve goal, demonstrate nanogrid device by solar energy can be stored in modest sized battery system and use to power instrumentation for melt extrusion 3D printer filaments. We then filament modified manufacture functional humanitarian aid components such as water seals pipe connectors. investigate feasibility principal...
Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are an emerging next‐generation technology for sustainable energy storage. In this study, the synthesis and performance of carbon anode materials SIBs, produced via direct co‐carbonisation textile waste‐derived hard (HC) pitch‐derived soft (SC) at various ratios, were investigated. It was found that, as ratio HC increased, rate capacity composite improved, with best performing exhibiting a specific 334 mAh g −1 current density 50 mA which exceeded 100 %HC...
Blended textile fabrics with dyed cotton and polyester (PET) fibres intimately mixed are extensively used in the industry. Separating recycling these blends cannot be performed by conventional mechanical or chemical processes, this is contributing significantly to global waste problem. Here we demonstrate an approach separate coloured blends, dye retained separated components. The separation was achieved via dissolution of using a co-solvent system ionic liquid dimethyl sulfoxide, from which...
The development of textile recycling solutions is an area intense research and commercialization. Chemical are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability separate complex blends retain or improve the value original fiber. chemical cotton requires a pre-treatment step reduce degree polymerization (DP). DP can be reduced in variety ways, here, environmental footprints two different approaches examined using life cycle assessment (LCA); sodium hydroxide sulphuric acid pre-treatment. We...
Abstract Bicomponent regenerated cellulose fibres (bRCF) have been created in a core–shell configuration from waste textiles. Textile dyeing and colouration is known to be major contributor the environmental impact of producing textiles this needs addressed for become more sustainable. Coloration bRCF here was achieved by utilizing coloured textile shell component whilst using white cotton core. The core extrusion speed thus diameter were varied optimised colour strength. made up 49.6% dyed...
