Descrizione del progetto
Una catena di riciclo della fibra di carbonio per l’industria aeronautica
Il riciclo della fibra di carbonio è un processo impegnativo che può aggiungere valore all’industria del riciclo. Il progetto MANIFICA Recycling, finanziato dall’UE, intende istituire la catena di riciclo dei compositi della fibra di carbonio risultanti dai rifiuti aeronautici per ricavare parti composite innovative e di alta qualità. Il progetto prenderà in esame l’intero processo, dalla logistica al riciclo e alla produzione di semilavorati pronti per l’uso fino ad arrivare a nuovi test industriali basati sulla fibra di carbonio riciclata. Il progetto MANIFICA Recycling è promosso da un consorzio costituito dall’Università di Bordeaux e due leader industriali nelle fibre di carbonio e nel trattamento dei rifiuti, con l’obiettivo di proporre uno scenario di smistamento semplice ed efficiente. Attraverso il metodo di smistamento, i rifiuti saranno raccolti direttamente su scala industriale per l’industria aeronautica.
Obiettivo
The global ambition of MANIFICA is to set up the recycling chain of carbon fibre composites “from aeronautic waste to innovative composite parts”. The vision of MANIFICA is that high-quality recycled carbon fibre will drive the recycling industry towards economic value. The CF recycling sector is considered in a systemic approach by considering all aspects, from logistics, recycling, production of ready to use semi-products to new rCF based industrial demonstrators. To do so, the MANIFICA consortium is made up of University of Bordeaux (I2M), 2 industrial leaders of carbon fibres and waste treatment: CFE, and PAPREC Group and one innovative composite materials SME: VESO Concept. Altogether they bring all the scientific, technical and industrial skills needed to achieve the ambitious MANIFICA objectives.
The objectives of MANIFICA completely fit the expectations of the call:
* Efficient and simple sorting scenario will be proposed, the need to sort (or not) during collection fibre types of by resin will be determined
* The sorting method will be applied and the waste will be collected in optimized logistics at an industrial level directly to the aeronautical industry in order to realize it under realistic and economically viable conditions.
* Reusing or recycling of outdated prepregs will be considered as scenarios for shelflife extension
* To convert recycled carbon fibres into innovative and easy to use semi-products, the reshaping process of University of Bordeaux will be upscaled
* The quality of the realigned rCF semi-products will be proved through industrial demonstrators (e.g. semi-structural part of aircraft interior and other sectors like railway or automofinaltive). In these parts, rCF composites will replace classic materials with performance gains.
*finally, LCI will be conducted directly at an industrial level for each step of the recycling process proposed.
