PG - 135780 LID - S0045-6535(22)02273-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135780 [doi] AB - Thermosetting unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composites were found widespread industrial applications. However, the numerous stable carbon-carbon bonds in cross-linked networks made them intractable for degradation, causing the large-scale composite wastes. Here a nanoscale Fe(0) catalyst in-situ forming strategy was exploited to nondestructively recycle carbon fiber (CF) from UPR composites via Fenton-like reaction. The nano-Fe(0) catalyst employed in this strategy activated H(2)O(2) for removing UPR, featuring mild conditions and efficient degradation ability. Aiming at facile growth of the catalyst, a porous UPR was achieved by the hydrolysis of alkalic system. The nanoscale Fe(0) catalyst was subsequently formed in-situ on the surface of hydrolyzed resin by borohydride reduction. Benefiting from fast mass transfer, the in-situ grown nano-Fe(0) showed more efficient degradation ability than added nano-Fe(0) or Fe(2+) catalyst during Fenton-like reaction. The experiments indicated that hydrolyzed resin could be degraded more than 90% within 80 min, 80 degrees C. GC-MS, FT-IR analysis and Density functional theory (DFT) calculation were conducted to explained the fracture processes of carbon skeleton in hydrolyzed resin. Especially, a remarkable recovery process of CF from composites was observed, with a 100 percent elimination of resin. The recycled CF cloth exhibited a 99% strength retention and maintained the textile structure, microtopography, chemical structure, resulting in the nondestructive reclaim of CF. This in-situ formed nanoscale Fe(0) catalytic degradation strategy may provide a promising practical application for nondestructively recycle CF from UPR composites.
