“…As the main substitute for wool, acrylic fiber has developed rapidly. At present, its output is second only to polyester and nylon, and it is in third place for synthetic fiber. − In the industrialization process, some fibers cannot be used because they do not meet the specified standards, forcing them to become waste products. At present, waste acrylic fiber is mainly recycled by a chemical method wherein the nitrile group of the waste acrylic fiber is hydrolyzed by an inorganic acid, an alkali, heating, or pressure, and transformed into hydrophilic groups such as carboxyl or amide groups with strong polarity, thus forming a random copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid .…”
