Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a composition for the conversion of paint sludge into reusable paint, to a process for the preparation of said composition and to a process for the conversion of waste paint sludge back to useful paint. The sludge conversion process of the invention consumes the environmentally hazardous sludge collected from paint application systems by converting this paint sludge into a reusable paint. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Most original equipment manufacturers (OEM&#39;s) use spray technique for painting their components. In this process the paint is mixed/thinned with appropriate thinner to get required application viscosity. Then it is applied by spray method on respective components in a paint booth. During spray method some paint adheres on the component being spray painted. Over-sprayed paint goes to water stream as a waste. This over sprayed waste paint gets mixed with water stream and gets coagulated by flocculent present in water stream. From this water stream the sludge is collected using the flotation method. Generally this sludge is either dumped or incinerated by industries, which is environmentally hazardous. Typically, the sludge obtained is either not biodegradable or degrades at a very slow rate. Therefore, dumping or earth filling of such sludge poses an environmental hazard. Burning of this sludge also produces toxic flames causing environment pollution. Therefore dumping, earth filling or burning of paint sludge is not an environmentally safe method for disposal. It is therefore important to devise a method by which paint sludge can be converted at least in part into reusable paint by separating the paint component of such sludge. This will assist in reducing the environmental hazards associated with the paint process. 
         [0003]    To the best of the applicant&#39;s knowledge, no processes are known in the art for recovery of paint from paint sludge such that useful paint can be recycled and environmental concerns addressed at the same time. 
       OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The main object of the invention is to provide a composition useful for the recovery of reusable paint from paint sludge. 
         [0005]    It is another object of the invention to provide a process for the recovery of reusable paint from paint sludge, which is environmentally friendly and inexpensive. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    The above and other objects of the present invention are attained by the novel composition of this invention which comprises a mixture of solvents in specific amounts with or without resins and a process for the use thereof which enables conversion of paint sludge into reusable paint. 
         [0007]    Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for conversion of the sludge into a usable paint form comprising

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0025]    Paint generally comprises of the following materials: 
       1. Resin 
     2. Pigment and Extenders 
     3. Solvents 
     4. Additives 
       [0026]    All the ingredients are present in a homogeneous dispersed state. All have their specific roles in paint properties. Over-sprayed paint material consists of all the ingredients but very small percentage of solvents. When it is mixed in water and flocculates, solvent content is reduced further and the paint residuals become small droplets. The coagulation of small droplets results in mass formation i.e. sludge. 
         [0027]    Several different types of sludge are generated in the paint industry. Some of the paint systems where the process of the invention can be used are Epoxy-amino/phenolic system (Single Pack—Stoving System), Alkyd-amino system, Thermosetting acrylic systems, Thermoplastic-acrylic system. Depending on the type of sludge, the resins used can be any one or combination of the following: 
         [0000]    (a) amino-alkyd
 
(b) amino polyester or amino antacid alkyd
 
(c) thermosetting acrylic
 
(d) acrylic and melamine mix (amino acrylic)
 
(e) modified epoxy
 
(f) epoxy and epoxyesters
 
(g) acrylated alkyd
 
(h) thermoplastic acrylic
 
(i) silicone or modified silicone based paint sludge
 
(j) urea formaldehyde
 
         [0028]    The process for conversion of the sludge into a usable paint form according to the present invention comprises subjecting wet paint sludge to a water rinse followed by a chemical rinse. During the chemical rinse, depending on the nature of the booth additive, the chemical used for treatment can be sodium bicarbonate sol (if the booth additive is acidic) or by PTSA (if the booth additive is alkaline). The sodium bicarbonate sol is preferably used in an amount of 30.5-15% by weight of the sludge and the PTSA when used is used in an amount of 0.1-15% by weight. 
         [0029]    The chemically treated wet paint sludge is then rinsed with water or demineralised water and then rinsed again in methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol depending on the type of sludge. The sludge is then pressed or centrifuged in order to remove the liquid content. Any other method of liquid extraction such as mild heating can also be carried out. After extraction of liquid, the sludge is dried in a thermostatically controlled hot air oven at a temperature in the range of 35-75° C. depending or for a period of 2-72 hours at ambient (depending on sludge quality). The dried sludge is then charged to a soaking bin and a combination of solvent mix is added therein and the mixture is allowed to soak for a period in the range of 1-72 hours depending on sludge composition or condition. The soaked sludge is then stirred to form a homogenous mixture. Stirring again depends on sludge condition and is generally required to be carried out for a period in the range of 0.5 to 8 hours. The stirred sludge is then sieved/filtered through a 100 mesh filter to eliminate large agglomerated particles. The filtered out particles can be recycled to be reduced in size by any convention pasting means. The filtrate is then charged into a mill such as a attrition mill, a ball mill or any other conventional mill and then pulverised to a particle size in the range of +2 to +3 Hegman&#39;s Gauge. The pulverised sludge particles are then filtered through a 150-200 mesh filter to remove larger particles, which can then be recycled to the step of pulverisation. A resin or combination of resins are then added to the filtrate along with desired additives and pigments and the mixture again milled to +6 Hegman&#39;s Gauge fineness. The mill is an attrition mill, a ball mill or any other conventional mill. The pulverised product thus obtained is then passed through a 300-400 mesh filter and manually filtered or filtered through any automated filtering means to obtain reusable paint. 
         [0030]    Contaminants are removed prior to treatment. The sludge obtained from a booth is a semisolid mass containing paint residuals, water, oil/greases along with flocculent (Booth Additive). Water, Oil/grease and Flocculent has detrimental effect on paint properties and its reusability. These contaminants are either have to be eliminated or prevented from coming into the process. Flocculent having acidic properties will damage the paint by creating problems. To avoid this problem, the additive to be used should have alkaline nature instead of acidic. Oil/Grease contamination into the sludge should be avoided during the sludge formation and collection process. Water also to be removed from the sludge, which will be discussed in the process itself. 
         [0031]    The present invention uses several additives individually or in combination for use in the conversion of paint sludge of the above categories into reusable paint. The choice of additive would depend on the type of paint sludge though some additives can be used with different types of paint sludge. The additives used herein include anti-setting additives such as Antil-310, NILSET-117 or soya lecithin. Other additives that are used include WD-1020 or WD-1040 or RHNOL-G-101 or BYK-410 for use as dispersing agents. Anticorrosive additives include K-Cor 463 or other commercially available anti-corrosive agents. Plasticizing agents can be used depending on the type of paint sludge and include DOP-DVP. Metallic octates or metallic naphthanates can also be used as drying agents for unibake or QD based primers. Bonding agents such as PA-51 can also be used as additives. 
         [0032]    During the conversion process, several pigments can be added to achieve the desired colour paint. For example, china clay, barite, calcite, zinc oxide, zinc chromate, talc, sodium (powder), titanium dioxide, carbon black or any other conventional pigments can be added. During the conversion process, thickening agent such as benton gel, tixo gels or any other thixotropic agent can also be added. 
         [0033]    It is an important feature of the invention that the resin used can be a single resin or a combination of resins. 
         [0034]    The invention will now be described with reference to the following examples. Some of the paint systems where the process of the invention can be used are Epoxy-amino/phenolic system (Single Pack—Stoving System), Alkyd-amino system, Thermosetting acrylic systems, Thermoplastic-acrylic system. In all the following examples, the process defined above was followed.
