In recent years, the waste fiber have been increasing, and the recycling rate of the waste fiber is low. Therefore, a new method for separating blended fibers is required. It has been reported that the reaction rate is improved by the addition of Tetrabutyl Orthotitanate (TBT) catalyst in the thermal decomposition of polyester (PEs). In this study, a method for separating cotton / PEs blended fibers by TBT catalyst thermal decomposition was investigated. We analyzed the weight change during thermal decomposition by TGA, and investigated the effect of the catalyst on the thermal decomposition behavior of cotton and PEs.
