Problems solved by technology

The length of carbon fiber recovered by mechanical physical method is shortened, and the practical value is not high; the energy recovery method cannot obtain usable carbon fiber and other materials
Chemical recovery methods often use solvents such as nitric acid and benzyl alcohol, which will have a negative impact on the environment. Although supercritical fluid can recover long fibers with excellent performance, it is still in the laboratory stage
At present, pyrolysis is the only mainstream method for commercial recycling of CFRP, but carbon deposits exist on the surface of recycled carbon fibers, which affects the recycling performance of carbon fibers, and the process conditions are harsh and energy consumption is high.

Abstract

The invention provides a device and a method for recycling a carbon fiber composite material. The device comprises a conveying unit and a decomposing unit, wherein the conveying unit is used for conveying a waste carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material to the decomposing unit, the movement of a honeycomb carrier with the surface coated with an oxide semiconductor coating is realized through a control device in the decomposing unit, and a 'honeycomb carrier-carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material-honeycomb carrier' sandwich structure is formed. After a resin matrix in the composite material is completely decomposed, the conveying unit conveys a recycled carbon fiber out, and meanwhile, a next composite material to be recycled is conveyed to the decomposing unit. The device provided by the invention has the characteristics of high efficiency, continuity and low pollution, and can be industrially applied to recycling the high-performance carbon fiber material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of recovery and recycling of carbon fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials, in particular to a large-scale recovery device and method for high-performance carbon fibers from waste composite materials. Background technique [0002] Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is widely used in aerospace, strategic weapons, transportation, medical equipment, sporting goods, etc. due to its excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, high strength and impact resistance. field has been widely used. With the continuous expansion of CFRP application fields, the amount of discarded CFRP has also increased. The discarded CFRP mainly comes from scraps, defective products and structural parts damaged during use during the production process, as well as discarded CFRP at the end of the life cycle. products. Scrap CFRP contains continuous, high-performance carbon fiber material. Because CFRP has a three-dimensional ...
