A combining technology of advanced oxidation by S2O82−/Fe2+ system and flotation was proposed for separating polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). In this research, sodium persulfate was activated by heating and ferrous ions. The separation efficiency of PVC/ABS oxidized by S2O82−/Fe2+ was higher than that by sodium persulfate. The mechanism of this process was investigated through contact angle, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) inductively coupled plasma (ICP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The floatability of ABS reduced owing to the introduction of oxygen-containing functional groups such as carbonyl (OCO) and hydroxyl (OH), which was a result of oxidation by sulfate radicals (SO4·-). The optimal conditions for separating PVC and ABS were: Na2S2O8 concentration 0.1 M, molar ratio (S2O82−/Fe2+) 200, treatment time 10 min, flotation time 4 min, frother concentration 14.7 mg L−1 and airflow rate 6.8 mL min−1. Novel kinetics of pretreatment time and flotation were proposed and researched in this work. The max rate constant of PVC/ABS flotation was 0.64 min−1. In addition, the pretreatment solution can be reused for three times with superior performance. The recovery and purity of PVC reached 100% and 99.7%, respectively. According to reasonable evaluation, the combination of S2O82−/Fe2+ advanced oxidation and flotation is a practical and efficient technology for separating PVC and ABS.
