Necessity has always been the mother of invention. In Spain, Agustín Bueno, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Alicante, and Francisco Perucho, who is in charge of the scrapyard in San Vicente del Raspeig, know the problem well. article.
I seem to be missing a technical solution Unloading the hulls of out-of-service boats that had piled up across the facility due to the economic crisis prompted them to find a viable and, incidentally, sustainable solution. to this problem.
After several years of research and testing, they Patented a method to enable recycling of fiberglass from disused ships, wind turbines or aircraft To manufacture new items. This chemical procedure is able to separate the fibers from the plastic at room temperature, surprisingly resulting in a final material that retains exactly the same properties as the original material. Therefore, thanks to this technology, fiberglass can be reused.
In contrast to other methods based on thermal processes, a truly innovative approach in this technology is no emissions to air, Overall recovery of the compound and its economic profitabilityso the energy cost of the chemical procedure is low.
Applications for fiberglass are not only in the aviation, automotive and navigation sectors, but also in many other sectors, as they are used in buildings, pipes, railings and even sporting goods such as skis, canoes and poles. There are about …the technology therefore entails a major breakthrough towards the sustainability of this material by offering a new purpose through recycling.
