WIND TURBINE BLADE RECYCLING
Generally described, the methods disclosed herein for recycling fiber composite source objects, such as wind turbine blades, include converting a whole wind turbine blade to an output material state that is useful for manufacturing other products, such as those used in construction of buildings, packaging, raw materials, and pellets, among other products. The recycling process is performed while tracking the progress and location of each wind turbine blade such that the direct source of the output material may be determined. In some embodiments, the method includes sectioning the wind turbine blades, crushing the wind turbine blade sections, tracking the progress of each blade through the process, and loading output materials into a suitable transportation vessel. Correlating each wind turbine blade to a quantity of output material provides several advantages, including various certifications of the material for uses with restricted or otherwise controlled products and materials, cost savings, and other advantages.
METHOD OF RECYCLING CARBON FIBER PREPREG WASTE
The method of recycling carbon fiber prepreg waste includes collecting uncured carbon fiber prepreg waste, where the carbon fiber prepreg waste still includes the backing film associated with the carbon fiber prepreg (typically in the form of a colored polyethylene layer). The uncured carbon fiber prepreg waste is then shredded and inserted into either an open or a closed mold. The mold is then inserted into a hot press, where the shredded carbon fiber prepreg waste is cured under selected temperature and pressure for a selected period of time, dependent upon the particular volume of waste and the desired recycled product. Alternatively, the shredded carbon fiber prepreg waste may be rolled in a hot metallic roller or extruded in a hot melt extruder.
Process and Device for Separation and Recovery of Waste Carpet Components
A process for separation and recovery of waste carpet components, wherein waste carpets are predominantly composed of a face fiber material, a backing material and an adhesive coating which includes latex and filler. Virtually all of the filler, i.e. calcium carbonate, is removed prior to fine grinding and passing the mixture to a high speed centrifuge for separation of the face fiber material from the backing material. A high friction washer is disclosed which separates the face giver material, the backing material and the adhesive coating. The fine grinding of the material to be recycled may be done only once before passing the mixture to the centrifuge by which the loss of the fiber material is highly reduced before its separation into face fiber and backing material and also the life time of the fine grinder and the centrifuge can be prolonged.
Device for preparing composite material waste
The invention relates to a device for preparing composite material waste, in particular carbon fiber-reinforced waste, comprising a comminuting assembly (2) for the composite material waste, a downstream temperature control zone (3) for controlling the temperature of the comminuted composite material waste, and a forming unit (4) for producing composite material waste compacts. In order to provide companies without recycling facilities, regardless of the type of composite material waste, with a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to dumping harmful composite material waste in landfills, it is proposed that the comminuting assembly (2), the temperature control zone (3) and the forming unit (4) are arranged in an at least substantially hermetically sealed and transportable working chamber (1).
PLASTIC FOAM PRODUCT ADDED WITH EVA RECYCLED PELLETS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
Proposed are a plastic foam product added with EVA recycled pellets and a method of manufacturing the same, in which there is provided a process for manufacturing a shoe sole by recycling shoe molding waste generated due to defective judgment during a shoe manufacturing process and used shoe waste discarded after use of finished shoe products, thereby allowing shoe manufacturing to meet the trend of pursuing eco-friendly products in Korea and in markets such as Europe, and there is provided a process in which dispersion between materials is strengthened in the process of manufacturing a plastic foam product by adding EVA recycled pellets to an EVA foam compound and mixing them with each other, thereby enabling uniform foaming and thus realizing a good shape and improving the strength and quality of the product.
STRETCH BLOW-MOLDED ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING STRETCH BLOW-MOLDED ARTICLE
A stretch blow-molded article comprising: a first polyester; and a second polyester having a structure different from a structure of the first polyester, wherein an intrinsic viscosity value of the first polyester is 0.60 to 0.74 dL/g, and the second polyester has a structure corresponding to terephthalic acid and a structure corresponding to bisphenol A.
Recycling method for detaching the cloth material from the E.V.A. insole residual product
A recycling method includes providing an EVA insole residual product including an EVA foam material, a film, and a cloth material, placing the EVA insole residual product into an oven, heating the EVA insole residual product to a temperature of 13025 C., and detaching the cloth material from the EVA foam material. The film includes an EVA, and a tackifier. The EVA of the film has a mass proportion of 85-95%. The tackifier has a mass proportion of 5-15%. An antioxidant is appended into the film and has a mass proportion of 0.1% of the total mass of the EVA and the tackifier. After the cloth material is detached from the EVA foam material, the EVA foam material and the film are crushed and kneaded and are recycled.
