Abstract
The controlled pyrolysis of fiber reinforced polymer composites has become an active area of research in recent years, with emerging commercial technologies now available for diverting manufacturing scrap and end of life material from landfill into new value-added products. Presented here are the details of a case study conducted using the recently developed Thermolyzer TM pyrolysis technology at a subpilot scale with ~2000 lbs. of total composite material processed. Four common composite materials in commerce were used in the trials: automotive SMC, wind turbine blades, carbon fiber cured prepreg, and carbon and glass fiber hybrid cured prepreg.
