Abstract

A method for recovering carbon fibers from a waste carbon/carbon composite comprises the following steps: (1) cutting resin-based carbon/carbon composite waste into blocks of 10 cm<3> plus/minus 3 cm<3>, and adding the blocks to a reaction kettle; (2) preparing medium-strong acid and alkali solutions with low boiling point, adding the solutions to the reaction kettle, performing microwave heatingto enable temperature in the kettle to be at 50-120 DEG C, and preserving heat for 1-15 min; (3) adding an alcohol organic solvent with concentration being 10%-50% of to the reaction kettle, and performing full stirring for uniformly mixing solid-liquid substances; (4) performing microwave heating to enable temperature of the kettle to reach 150-280 DEG C and a fluid in the kettle to be in a supercritical state, preserving heat for 1-15 min, and performing cooling; (5) extracting a solid material, washing the solid material to be neutral and drying the solid material at constant temperature toobtain recovered carbon fibers. The recovery method is low in time consumption and energy consumption, quality retention rate of the recovered carbon fibers is higher, cost of recovery of the carbonfibers from the carbon/carbon composite can be reduced remarkably, and efficient recovery and resourceful recycling of the carbon/carbon composite waste are realized.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recycling carbon fibers in waste carbon-carbon composite materials, in particular to a microwave-assisted supercritical method for recycling carbon fibers in waste carbon-carbon composite materials. Background technique [0002] Carbon / carbon composite materials are considered to be the most promising due to their advantages of low density, high strength, high specific modulus, high thermal conductivity, low expansion coefficient, good friction performance, good thermal shock resistance and high dimensional stability. One of the promising high-temperature materials, it has been widely used in aerospace, automobile industry, military industry, medicine and other fields. However, after a certain number of years, the mechanical properties such as tensile and compressive properties can no longer meet the actual needs, and they cannot be used any longer, which leads to the generation of a large amount of waste carbon-ca...
