Specification

This invention relates to a method of Recycling masks to unmask the human lives.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
SN Patent number/DOI Abstract difference
1 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145527 In this research, for the first time, a series of experiments, including modified compaction, unconfined compression strength, and resilient modulus tests, were conducted on the blends of different percentages of the shredded face mask (SFM) added to the recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) for road base and subbase applications. The experimental results show that RCA mixed with three different percentages (i.e., 1%, 2%, and 3%) of SFM satisfied the stiffness and strength requirements for pavements base/subbase. The introduction of the shredded face mask not only increased the strength and stiffness but also improved the ductility and flexibility of RCA/SFM blends. The available research can spread the infection however our invention of collecting the disposable masks at public places without any infection
2 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2021.105974 A separate collection of these devices based on local platforms such as schools, offices and factories is proposed. This would limit collecting costs, ensure the origin and quantity and simplify the sanitizing treatment of the masks, in order to allow their introduction into the industrial recycling stream of plastic materials.In this scenario, an urban separate waste collection material (namely mixed polyolefin) was selected and melted blended in several ratios with the disposable filtering masks. Two recycling solutions have been envisaged: the use of the filtering part alone or the joint introduction of the ear loops. compared to the mixed polyolefin, the resulting recycled materials from filtering face masks have lower viscosity but comparable toughness and superior stiffness and strength. The available invention scaffold the usage of pavement material like bricks etc but our invention will collect the disposable masks with less infection and can reproduce the material for cloth and wrapping paper.

None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is Recycling masks to unmask the human lives.

It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements that, although not explicitly described herein, embody the principles of the present subject matter and are included within its scope.
The used disposable mask will be kept at the platform of the automated pulling mechanism of a smart dustbin. As soon as a user keeps the used masks in the smart dustbin the steaming and sanitizer sprays get activated. The used masks will be dried through inbuilt heater, and it will be shredded with a cloth shredder machine. The recycled cloth can be used in reproducing the wrapping paper.
Once a mask is kept at motorized platform, the first sprinkler will sprinkle steam and followed by second sprinkler which will sprinkle the sanitizer. Once the disposable mask is fully wet the Flap will be opened of heating chamber. The heating chamber will absorb the wetness of mask and as soon as it the mask is completely dried, the shredded chamber’s flap will open and the mask will be recycled through shredded machine. Once it is shredded properly the recycled mask will come outside in the form of residue of clothes. The entire three chambers will be monitored by Intelligent Control mechanism as shown in Fig 02.
The ICM consists of a control unit, input supply, relay drivers, sprinklers’ motors, cutting motor, heating element, keypad, a temperature sensor and a display unit. The control unit sends command to the relay drivers which are connected to the sprinkler motor 1 & 2. The control unit is connected to a relay band followed by heating element and temperature sensor which decides whether the mask is dried or not and it is also displayed by the display unit. The ICM is also connected to the cutting motor which shreds the mask as soon as it is fully dried and it is desired output of our invention.
ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION:
• The infected waste can be reused in any form of cloth
• It can help in reducing the spreading infection

We Claim:

1. This invention will reduce the scarcity of infection through disposable mask
2. The residue of mask can be utilized in the form of cloth or any material for decoration
