Abstract:
A method ( 10 ) for cleaning fibers from a contaminated article is disclosed. The method ( 10 ) can include pulping ( 20 ) a contaminated article to separate the fibers or filaments from the contaminated article in a first solution to provide dissociated pulped fibers. The method ( 10 ) can also include washing ( 26 ) the dissociated pulped fibers by forming a suspension comprising the dissociated pulped fibers from the contaminated article and a detergent, applying a magnetic field to the suspension, and mixing the suspension to wash the dissociated pulped fibers while applying the magnetic field to the suspension thereby forming washed pulped fibers. Contaminates can be removed from the suspension while washing ( 26 ) the dissociated pulped fibers. The washed pulped fibers can be rinsed and dried to provide clean fibers.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for cleaning fibers from a contaminated article, the method comprising:\n providing a contaminated article comprising contaminates and at least one of fibers and filaments; pulping the contaminated article to separate the at least one of fibers and filaments from the contaminated article in a first solution to provide dissociated pulped fibers; forming a suspension comprising the dissociated pulped fibers from the contaminated article and a detergent; applying a magnetic field to the suspension; mixing the suspension to wash the dissociated pulped fibers while applying the magnetic field to the suspension thereby forming washed pulped fibers; removing contaminates from the suspension; removing the washed pulped fibers from the suspension; rinsing the washed pulped fibers after removing the washed pulped fibers from the suspension to provide rinsed pulped fibers; and drying the rinsed pulped fibers to provide clean fibers.
