They may get more funds in the second phase. \u2018The first generation of wind turbine blades is being retired now,\u2019 says professor Jinwen Zhang who is leading the project. His team has been working on a chemical recycling method to break down the complex composite materials. Thermosets are treated with a mild Lewis acid as the catalyst and an eco-friendly and benign industrial solvent.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers preserve the carbon fibres as well as the resin material in a useful form that can be easily reused. Their formula works at \u2018moderate temperatures\u2019 below 200 degrees Celsius and ambient pressure, meaning there is no need for a pressure chamber. The solvent is being hailed as a \u2018magic\u2019 ingredient in the recycling process. Its unique chemical properties provide \u2018excellent\u2019 separation abilities. After shredding the material into chips, the carbon fibre material is broken down within three hours. The output fractions have the same strength of the original material.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang explains the process can be done in a continuous or semi continuous process without generating secondary waste. Next, the university team plans to optimise the process, scale it up and demonstrate a semi-batch process.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/e-scrap\/us-backs-magic-wind-turbine-recycling-solution\/56006\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-473\/\">US backs \u2018magic\u2019 wind turbine recycling solution<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,764,1558],"class_list":["post-125013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling","tag-wind-turbine"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125013\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
