  • Patent number: 10280534
    Abstract: A cured epoxy resin material is depolymerized by using a composition including a compound represented by the chemical formula of XOmYn (wherein X is hydrogen, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, Y is halogen, m is a number satisfying 1?m?8 and n is a number satisfying 1?n?6), and a reaction solvent, wherein X is capable of being dissociated from XOmYn and Y radical is capable of being produced from XOmYn in the reaction solvent. It is possible to carry out depolymerization of a cured epoxy resin material, for example, at a temperature of 200° C., specifically 100° C. or lower, and to reduce processing cost and energy requirement. It is also possible to substitute for a reaction system using an organic solvent as main solvent, so that the contamination problems caused by the organic solvent functioning as separate contamination source may be solved and environmental contamination or pollution may be minimized.

  • Patent number: 10106421
    Abstract: For depolymerization of a cured epoxy resin material, used is a composition including a transition metal salt or a transition metal oxide containing a transition metal element (metal element that belongs to Groups 3-12 in the Periodic Table). In the reaction solvent, an oxidation occurs by the medium of the transition metal element so that the cured epoxy resin material may be depolymerized and decomposed. In this manner, it is possible to carry out depolymerization of a cured epoxy resin material at a temperature of 200° C., specifically 100° C. or lower very simply and rapidly, and to reduce the processing cost and energy requirement.

  • Publication number: 20170096540
    Abstract: Provided are a composition for swelling pretreatment of a cured thermosetting resin material before decomposition, including a surfactant and an acidic material, and a method for swelling pretreatment of a cured thermosetting resin material before decomposition by using the same. When carrying out swelling pretreatment of a cured thermosetting resin material before decomposition by using the composition, it is possible to accelerate infiltration of the acidic material into the cured thermosetting resin material and swelling of the cured thermosetting resin material by virtue of the surfactant, and thus to increase the decomposition reactive surface area. Therefore, it is possible to increase reaction efficiency during the subsequent decomposition process, and to increase the decomposition ratio during the same period of time.
