In order to thermally decompose a thermosetting plastic-containing persistent composite
plastic waste represented by carbon
fiber pipes, GFRP, solar panels, printed circuit boards, and
waste tires, the present invention comprises: A) a
thermal decomposition step for adding, to a
thermal decomposition tank, a thermosetting plastic-containing persistent composite
plastic waste which is a
raw material to be subjected to a thermal process, and at least 20 wt%, preferably at least an equal amount, of a
hydrogen-rich
hydrocarbon-based plastic which is represented by PP and PE and which serves as a reaction accelerator, with respect to 100 wt% of the
raw material to be subjected to a thermal process, causing a
liquid phase-
solid phase reaction to occur by holding the same at the
melting point of the reaction accelerator for one to two hours, and then thermally decomposing the same through a
gas phase-
solid phase
decomposition reaction by increasing the temperature to a
thermal decomposition temperature to generate a
hydrogen radical or a
hydrocarbon radical from the reaction accelerator; and B) a
recovery step for cooling and recovering a thermal
decomposition oil obtained through thermal
decomposition in the thermal decomposition tank; and, if needed, C) a separation step for washing, separating, and recovering metals, inorganic substances, or reinforcing fibers remaining in the thermal decomposition tank by using a glycol-based
solvent. Here, examples of the
hydrogen-rich
hydrocarbon-based plastic include random cleavage or decomposition-type plastics represented by PE (LDPE or HDPE) and PP, which each have a high Arrhenius factor.
