Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
This invention relates to the production of a plastic material from new or waste polyvinylchloride (PVC) compounds with waste red-mud. The compositions may preferably also contain used machine lubricating, oil. The degradation products in the PVC are neutralized by the free alkalies in the red-mud. The plastic material may also contain other additives, such as fillers and plasticizers to obtain desired physical properties.

Description

Wa~te red-mud is the residual product of the alu~inu~
; ~ndustry. It is obta~ned fro~ Bauxlte after the extraction of alumlnum oxlde wlth alkall solution. Since the resldue still contalnq about 10% alkali, the disposal o~ red-mud may pollute the envlronment. A typical ~amp~ o~ the red-mud has shown the follo~in~ analysis:
SiO2 14.6% T~02 7 23 22.6~ Fe203 35.6 Na20 9.1~ Others 10.9~
The cQ~position ~111 vary dependlng ~pon the purity Or the ore, t~pe and concentrat10n Or alkal~, typ~ o~ extraction process, ~-1 efiiclency of ~xtraction, etc. The foregolng analysls 18 for demonstration purpo3es only and 1~ not mean~ to limlt the composltion of the red-mud.
Tlle disposal of ~aste PVC ht~s proren to be an enYlrc~n-: mental problem. Burning the mater~al produce3 ~mo~e and hazardou3 gases sueh as H~l. The pr~ent ln~ention reduce~
~ ~, the~e pro~lems. The processes o~ the pre~ent inYent$on utllize the convenlence of the Banbury mixer, but other prscessing equip~ent can be u~ed such a~ $nternal ml~ers, roll mills, extruders or O~her processlng equipment familiar to those skllled in the art.

A plastic material ls obtained by compounding poly-vinylchloride (PVC) in the form o~ waste material or as ~resh plas~lc~ with waste red-mud. It is thought that degrqdation products in the PVC are neutrallzed b~ free alkall in the red-~ud. Prefersbly another waste product such as waste ..; . .

Typtcally, the present compositions are non-trans-~i parent, heat stable to 180C, and self extinguishing ~rom a fLammabilit~J standpoint. Typical hardnesses are Shore D 78 for hard materials and Shore A-77 for soft material compositions.
Compounded material shows geod outdoor stability.
; The processes of the present invention provide a novel, highly effective method for the conversion of used lubricating oil, waste red-mud and new or waste P~C material into useful and durable products. Since all of the raw materials employed may be waste materials, this will reduce the cost of the products as well as reduce the waste disposal problems .
and ensuing environmental pollutlon. The current state of the art for the compounding of PVC uses costly stabllizers and ; ~ processing aids. The present invention utilizes the stabllizing . _~
~ 15 properties of the red-mud and the softening effect of the wast~
._ .
oil in PVC materials. The present invention reduces both the cost of the product and increases the thermal stability and weather resistance. Another advantage of the present invention is that compounded PV~ materlal maintains a large amount o~
~ 20 the ini~ial tensile strengbh and elongat~on upon prolonged exposur~ to Ultraviolet irradiation. These effects may be due to the existence o~ the red-mud increasing the thermal stability o~ the compounded material by absorbing the resulting degradation products.
The compounded mater~al ma~ be ~ormed into films, sheets, leathers, plates, et~, either of a ~lexible or hard type. me flexible material can be m~de into waste digesters, portable rice warehouses, fermentation vess~ls, containers for agricultural water, storage silos for grass and hay, hot bed llners, storage tanks for methane generated from animal wastes, `:~ liners for salt water e~aporators and reser~oir~, outside ., -.: :.~ . .

~ - 3 -storage buildings, liners to protect beaches ~rom wave action3 wire and cable protective coatlngs, etcO The hard material can b~ used ~or durable conduits, corrugated roofin~ and siding, surfacing material for ~edestrian sidewalks, con-i 5 struction panels, etc.
When waste PVC is used in the cDmpositlons of the ~'1 present invention, it ~s often not necessary to add a plasti-cizer, since the waste PVC already contains plasticizer.
Another advantage o~ the present in~ention is that compounded materials are self-extinguishing when sub~ected to a flamma-.'1.~
bility test. This test consisted o~ igniting the compounded material with a bunson burner; ~hen the bunson burner was re-moved, the burning of the material ceased. Yet another advan-~;~ tage of the present invention is the incorporation of waste and/or used machine3 engine or motor lubricating oil as aprocessing ~id with no adverse effect on the quality of the ~ .
final product or its response to environme~ al aging. The addition elim~nates costly proces~ing oils and reduces the pollut~on caused by dumping the used oil.
In the following examples, the following standard test procedures were used:
Aging ASTM D 1573-61 Tensile and Elongation ASTM D 638-72 All percentages are w~lght percent unless otherwise `~ indicated, -~ ~ Re~erring to the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 compare the results o~ adding red-mud ~o ~omposition~ not conta~ning red-mud. Figures 3 and 4 compare the present compositions with those employing CaCo3 rather than red-mud.

55 parts predried red-mud The mlx obtained was processed on a roll mill and then sheeted out on a calander. ~ilms of 1.0 mm thickness were heat welded together to construct a cylindrical animal waste digester three meters long ~nd 1.5 meters ~n diameter. The digester wa~ buried ~lth the cylindrical axls parallel to the ground surface with . . .
-- half the volume above ground. The digester was then filledwith ~ater to ground level and the air space above the water was p~essurized to 15 cm water.
Over the course of one year3 air has been pumped ln and out o~ the digester ~or six thousand cycles wlth no damage ,~
to the surface o~ the digester. Air pressure was maintained over long periods of time. The ~ilm hardness was Shore A-T7.

This example demonstrates the ~ormation o~ a hard sheet which has good environmental resistance. The composit~on used was:

The sheet obtai~ed had a bending stren~th (ASTM
I3790-74) of 420kg/c~ ; arter four years exposure to Taiwan's weather, the bending strength was 382kgicm2. A large portlon of the bending ~trength has been retained a~ter long en~iron-~ental exposure. This is in contrast to the present state ~"~ of the art where PV~ becomes embrittled and useless ln one to two years exposure to the out-of-door~ environment.

The sisal ~iber is an inexpensive ~elnforcing agent used to increase the tensile strength and hardness. The hardness was Shore D-78.
