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.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for recovering a fiber assembly by decomposing a thermosetting resin composite material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in such a manner the fiber assembly used for the thermosetting composite material, such as CFRP, retains its original organizational shape after decomposition, and a fiber assembly recovered by the method.

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.
