Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites

Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites 
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Ltd | ISBN 10: 1845694627 | 2011 | PDF | 624 pages | 12.6 MB

This authoritative reference work provides a comprehensive review of the management, recycling and reuse of waste composites. These are issues which are of increasing importance due to the growing use of composites in many industries, increasingly strict legislation and concerns about disposal of composites by landfill or incineration.

Part one discusses the management of waste composites and includes an introduction to composites recycling and a chapter on EU legislation for recycling waste composites. Part two reviews thermal technologies for recycling waste composites with chapters on pyrolysis, catalytic transformation, thermal treatments for energy recovery and fluidized bed pyrolysis. Part 3 covers mechanical methods of recycling waste composites. This section includes chapters on additives for recycled plastic composites, improving mechanical recycling and the quality and durability of mechanically recycled composites. Parts 4 discusses improving sustainable manufacture of composites, with chapters on environmentally-friendly filament winding of FRP composites, process monitoring and new developments in producing more functional and sustainable composites. Part 5 gives a review of case studies including end-of-life wind turbine blades, aerospace composites, marine composites, composites in construction and the recycling of concrete. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Management, recycling and reuse of waste composites is a standard reference for anyone involved in the disposal or recycling of waste composites.



Recycling in Textiles

Recycling in Textiles (Woodhead Publishing in Textiles) By Youjiang Wang
Publisher: C//R\\\C Press 2006 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 1855739526 , 0849391040 | PDF | 9 MB
An increasing amount of waste is generated each year from textiles and their production. For economic and environmental reasons, it is necessary that as much of this waste as possible is recycled instead of being disposed of in landfill sites. In reality the rate of textile recycling is still relatively low. On average approximately 10 million tons of textile waste is currently dumped in Europe and America each year.

The first section of Recycling in Textiles introduces the subject by looking at the general issues involved and the technologies concerned. Part two explores the chemical aspects of textile recycling. Part three focuses on recycled textile products, including non-wovens and alternative fibers. Finally, the last section discusses possible applications of recycled textiles, including using recycled products in the operating theatre, for soil stabilization and in concrete reinforcement.

Considering the diversity of fibrous waste and structures, many technologies must work in concert in an integrated industry in order to have an impact.

Recycling in Textiles presents several promising technologies and ideas for recycling systems. This is the first book of its kind to bring together textile recycling issues, technology, products, processes and applications. It will prove an invaluable guide to all those in the industry who are now looking for ways to recycle their textile waste.
