Example Embodiment

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Such as figure 1 As shown, the low-temperature microwave efficient treatment of carbon fiber composite materials to recover carbon fibers, the specific steps are as follows: First, the waste carbon fiber composite materials (the carbon fiber form is short fiber, the matrix resin is epoxy resin, the size is 1.9×1.7×3cm) Enter the microwave heating device, enter oxygen (the oxygen intake is 4LPM), and feed the microwave with a frequency of 2450±50MHz until the temperature rises to 450°C, and low-temperature treatment for 0.1h to cause the resin organic matter to oxidize and decompose, and then naturally The temperature is lowered to below 200°C, and the solid product is taken out to be carbon fiber.

[0040] After the degradation is completed, the solid carbon fiber epoxy resin-based composite material is degraded into filamentous short carbon fibers, with a smooth and complete surface, and almost no resin residue.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of recovering carbon fibers by low-temperature microwave efficient treatment of a carbon fiber composite material and belongs to the technical field of fiber composite materials. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, putting a waste carbon fiber composite material in a microwave heating device; introducing oxygen or oxygen-containing mixed gas; feeding microwaves, the frequencies of which are 2450+/-50MHz or 915+/-50MHz till the temperature is raised to 350-500 DEG C; performing low-temperature treatment for 0.1-1.0h; then naturally reducing the temperature to below 200 DEG C; and taking out the solid product to obtain the carbon fibers. The method is a method of uniformly and efficiently recovering high value carbon fibers from the waste carbon fiber composite material at a low temperature at a normal pressure. According to the method, organic matters of resin are oxidized to combust at the low temperature, and the integrity of the carbon fibers is ensured. The carbon fibers are regenerated and recycled while the mechanical property and recovery rate of the carbon fibers are increased, the reaction time is shortened, the reaction flow is simplified, the energy source is saved and the environment is protected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for efficiently treating carbon fiber composite materials with low-temperature microwaves to recover carbon fibers, and belongs to the technical field of fiber composite materials. Background technique [0002] Carbon fiber composite materials are widely used in many fields such as national defense, aerospace, construction, transportation and energy due to their high strength, ultra-light, high temperature and high pressure resistance. Carbon fiber is an important component of carbon fiber composite materials, which is in great demand and expensive. It is estimated that the global demand for carbon fiber will reach 25,000 tons in 2020. Calculated at an average price of 200 yuan / kg, the value will be more than 5 billion yuan. The greater the demand for carbon fiber composite materials, the more waste will be. In addition, carbon fiber composite materials in the production process The leftovers, defective products, and ...
