ABSTRACT The decomposition of high-performance thermoplastic and thermoset polymers is carried out by using supercritical fluids, in conjunction with a caesium carbonate catalyst (Cs2CO3). Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its carbon fibre filled composite are used as the high- performance thermoplastic, owing to its strong chemical resistance and excellent thermal and chemical stability. 2,2-Bis[4-(glycidyloxy)phenyl]propane (BADGE) is cross-linked with 4,4’-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) to produce a high-performance thermoset resin used to investigate the decomposition of the polymer matrices used in the manufacture of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP’s). It is determined that the complete decomposition of the BADGE based thermoset resin is possible at 573 K when using a catalyst concentration ([Cs2CO3]) of 10 mg ml-1 in 100 % ethanol or propanol and a reaction time of 30 minutes, with a percentage degradation of 90 % being achieved after 45 minutes. The decomposition of PEEK at 623 K, 7 K above its melt temperature, is possible within 30 minutes when using a supercritical fluid mixture of ethanol and water ([EtOH] = 20 %v) and a Cs2CO3 concentration of 10 mg ml-1. Decomposition of PEEK in 100 % ethanol was not observed, indicating that the decomposition reaction is hydrolysis. Conversely, the decomposition of the BADGE based thermoset resin was essentially impeded by the presence of water and is therefore one of solvolysis. Both decomposition reactions were found to be 1st order with respect to [Cs2CO3]. Tensile testing of carbon fibre bundles, made possible by a method developed as part of this research to determine the number of fibres within a bundle, showed little reduction in the tensile strength of recycled fibres. X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy demonstrated that, 2PDF Image | Supercritical Fluids and Their Application to the Recycling of High-Performance Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
