Methods to Separate Polyester/Wool Blended Fabric

Polyester/wool blended fabrics were studied in this paper, and two methods were developed to separate polyester and wool fiber from physical and chemical respectively according to the characteristic differences between them. The characteristics and the ranges each method can be applied to were pointed out after analyzing factors like cost and conditions of production, complexity of the equipments, the length and continuity of the process and also the recovery of the product and pollutions. The study of this work not only decreased the waste of polyester/wool blended fabrics but also made full use of the two fibers. Also, the secondary pollution of polyester fiber was reduced and the value of wool can be reflected.
