Thermal methods for recycling waste composites
روش های حرارتی برای بازیافت ضایعات کامپوزیتی
ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a thermal process based on a fluidised bed for the recycling of glass and carbon fi bre from thermoset composites. The process is particularly suitable for producing high quality fi bre from contaminated or mixed materials. The chapter will describe the fl uidised bed process, and detail the quality of the fi bres that are recovered. Applications for the reuse of the fi bre that have been investigated will then be explained and the prospects for commercial scale operation considered. Current and future research directions will be outlined; other relevant research activities will also be mentioned.
