Necessity is always the mother of invention. In Spain, Agustín Bueno, professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Alicante, and Francisco Perucho, head of the scrapyard in San Vicente del Raspeig, know this well. This is because they are both inventors of the technology discussed in this article. article.
There seems to be no technical solution Unloading the hulls of unusable boats that had piled up in the facility due to the economic crisis was a catalyst for finding a viable and, incidentally, sustainable solution. to this problem.
After several years of research and testing, they We have patented a method that can recycle fiberglass from disused ships, wind turbines and airplanes. to make new things. This chemical procedure allows the fibers to be exfoliated from the plastic at room temperature, and the end result is a material that, surprisingly, retains exactly the same properties as the original. Therefore, thanks to this technology, fiberglass can be reused.
In contrast to other methods based on thermal processes, the truly innovative approach in this technology lies in: No emissions to air, Overall Search of Compounds and Their Economic ProfitabilityThis is due to the low energy cost of the chemical procedure.
The applications of fiberglass are countless, not only in the aviation, automotive and navigation sectors, but also in many other sectors. This material is found in buildings, pipes, railings and even sports equipment such as skis, canoes and poles. … This technology therefore represents a major step towards the sustainability of this material by giving it a new purpose through recycling.
