Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of green building materials and comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources, and particularly relates to a regeneration method for glass fiber of retired blades and a regenerated glass fiber concrete reinforcing material. Background Art

[0002] The current regenerated glass fiber concrete reinforcing material system mainly relies on traditional glass fiber (E-glass), steel glass fiber, and polypropylene (PP) / polyethylene (PE) synthetic glass fiber, etc. According to statistics, the annual output of glass fiber exceeds 10 million tons. Its production process requires high-energy-consuming processes such as high-temperature melting above 1500 °C and wire drawing with a platinum-rhodium alloy leakage plate. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit product reaches 1.2 - 1.8 tons of standard coal / ton, and the carbon emission intensity is 2.5 - 3.5 tons of CO2 / ton, causing serious pollution to the environment.

[0003] At the same time, the disposal problem of glass fiber composites (GFRP) in retired wind turbine blades in the wind power industry is becoming increasingly severe. The cumulative amount of retired blades has exceeded 1 million tons. The thermosetting resin matrix (such as epoxy resin and unsaturated polyester) in the retired blades is difficult to degrade. The current treatment technologies mainly include simple landfill (accounting for about 65%) or incineration for power generation (accounting for about 30%). This not only causes waste of resources of glass fiber (with a content of 60 - 75%), but also releases pollutants such as dioxins and nitrogen oxides during the incineration process, causing serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, how to produce glass fiber from retired wind turbine blades in the wind power industry has received great attention.

[0004] However, due to the irreversible cross-linked structure of the thermosetting resin in GFRP of retired blades, the conventional mechanical crushing method can only obtain inferior fibers with a length < 3 mm and a surface resin residue > 20% (the tensile strength decays to 30 - 40% of the original fiber), which cannot meet the mechanical indexes of the reinforcing material. Although the pyrolysis method (i.e., thermal cracking at a temperature of 500 - 600 °C) can recycle fibers, there are problems such as high energy consumption (> 3000 MJ / ton) and fiber oxidation embrittlement, and the resin decomposition products need to be subjected to additional purification treatment. At the same time, even if the fibers are recycled, after the recycled glass fibers are used in concrete, there are also problems such as poor fiber-cement matrix interfacial compatibility and uneven fiber dispersion, resulting in insufficient anti-cracking and strengthening efficiency of the concrete (crack inhibition rate < 30%), and fiber pull-out failure is likely to occur during long-term service.

[0005] Therefore, with the continuous growth of the demand for green and high-performance building materials in the construction industry, as well as the disposal problem of retired wind turbine blades faced by the wind power industry, providing a regeneration method for glass fiber of retired blades and a regenerated glass fiber concrete reinforcing material has become an urgent technical problem in this field.

[0065] The present invention realizes the cross-field coordination between the solid waste at the end of the wind power industrial chain and the raw materials at the front end of the building materials industry, and provides a solution with both environmental and economic benefits for the green and high-performance of concrete materials.

[0066] The method for regenerating retired blade glass fiber in concrete provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0067] (I) Breakthrough in environmental benefits, building a new model for full resource utilization of wind power solid waste:

[0068] Solid waste reduction effect: The present invention uses a closed-loop recycling process to make the comprehensive utilization rate of GFRP in retired fan blades ≥ 95wt%, reducing the amount of solid waste generated by 2.3 to 3.8 tons per ton of blades compared with traditional landfill / incineration methods;

[0069] Pollution prevention and control efficiency: The present invention adopts two-stage catalytic pyrolysis to inhibit the generation of persistent organic pollutants such as dioxins (emission concentration <0.1ngTEQ / m 3 , better than the standard limit of GB18484-2020), and through the catalytic reforming process of resin decomposition products, the resource utilization rate of organic components is greater than 85%;

[0070] Contribution to carbon emission reduction: The carbon footprint analysis of the entire life cycle shows that the recycled glass fiber production process obtained by the method provided by the present invention can reduce CO2 emissions by 4.2 to 5.6 tons / ton (ISO14067 standard) compared with virgin glass fiber, and can reduce carbon emission intensity by 62 to 68% (ISO14044 standard) compared with traditional glass fiber reinforced concrete, and the unit product energy consumption is reduced by 55 to 70%. If calculated based on the annual processing of 100,000 tons of retired blades, the annual carbon emission reduction potential is 420,000 to 560,000 tons, which is equivalent to an additional 35,000 to 47,000 hectares of forest carbon sink capacity, which completely reverses the industry's perception that "high performance must have high cost" of recycled materials and promotes the concrete industry to upgrade towards "zero waste and negative carbonization".

[0071] (II) Material performance has leapt forward, improving the technical indicators of recycled glass fiber concrete reinforcement materials:

[0072] Strengthening of mechanical properties: The recycled glass fiber provided by the present invention has a multi-level interface optimization design, so that the tensile strength of the recycled glass fiber concrete reinforced material at 28d reaches 65-82MPa (18-32% higher than the benchmark group), the ultimate bending load is increased by 25-40%, and the mass loss rate of the recycled glass fiber concrete reinforced material after 300 freeze-thaw cycles is less than 1.5% (GB / T50082-2009 standard);

[0073] Durability innovation: This invention can reduce the chloride ion diffusion coefficient of recycled glass fiber concrete reinforcement material to 1.8×10 -12 m 2 / s (55 - 65% lower than ordinary concrete), with the carbonation depth controlled at 0.8 - 1.2 mm / year, thus extending the structural service life of the recycled glass fiber concrete reinforcement material to over 80 years in a marine environment.

[0074] (III) Economic restructuring, opening up a new path for low-cost and high-performance materials:

[0075] Raw material cost advantage: The method provided by the present invention enables the comprehensive production cost of recycled glass fiber to be controlled within 3200 - 4500 yuan / ton, which is only 40 - 55% of that of virgin glass fiber (8000 - 12000 yuan / ton). The depolymerization catalyst has a high recycling rate (loss rate < 3%), and 30% of the value-added tax on comprehensive utilization of resources can be deducted;

[0076] Engineering cost reduction benefit: Taking C40 concrete as an example, adding 0.5% recycled glass fiber can reduce the unit material cost by 12 - 18 yuan, while reducing the crack repair cost by 30 - 50%, and the comprehensive cost over the entire life cycle decreases by 20 - 28%;

[0077] Industrial chain value addition: Relying on the integration of the value chain of "retired blade recycling - glass fiber recycling - building material production", new industrial profit points are created. It is estimated that by 2030, a market for recycled glass fiber concrete reinforcement materials worth 80 - 120 billion yuan / year can be formed (data from Global Market Insights).

[0078] (IV) Process universality innovation, realizing large-scale industrial application:

[0079] Process compatibility: The method provided by the present invention can be adapted to existing building material production lines within 72 hours through modular recycling equipment (processing capacity 5 - 20 tons / h) and in-situ addition technology for concrete mixing plants, and the equipment payback period < 2 years;

[0080] Process stability: The method provided by the present invention can achieve controllable performance of the recycled glass fiber content within the range of 0.3 - 1.5% through an on-line monitoring system for glass fiber surface activation (based on near-infrared spectroscopy) and an intelligent concrete mixing control system (error rate < ±1.5%);

[0081] Standard system support: The technical parameters of the recycled glass fiber concrete reinforcement material provided by the present invention are fully compatible with industry standards such as JG / T 472 - 2015 "Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete" and CCPA "Technical Specification for the Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete". It has completed demonstration applications in 6 types of projects such as coastal flood protection dikes and prefabricated buildings (cumulative usage > 50000 m 3 ), and has obtained the green building material certification (three-star level) from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

[0082] (V) Technical transformation value:

[0083] The present invention breaks through the limitations of the traditional solid waste utilization technology of "low value and fragmentation".
