Abstract[English]
A method for retrieving a recyclable fibre mat (13) from an epoxy composite structure (6, 6a) is disclosed An epoxy composite structure (6, 6a), e.g. a wind turbine blade (6), made from a composite material comprising at least one fibre mat (13) embedded in a matrix of epoxy resin (14) is provided. The epoxy composite structure (6, 6a) is exposed to a release agent (11), e.g. comprising acid, such as formic acid, causing disintegration of the epoxy composite structure (6, 6a). The at least one fibre mat (13) is retrieved from the disintegrated epoxy composite structure (6, 6a). A recycled fibre mat (13) comprising epoxy particles chemically and/or mechanically bonded to the surface of the fibre mat is also disclosed.[French]
Est divulgué ici un procédé de récupération d'un mat de fibres recyclables (13) émanant d'une structure composite époxydique (6, 6a). L'invention concerne une structure composite époxydique (6, 6a), par exemple une pale d'éolienne (6), constituée d'un matériau composite comprenant au moins un mat de fibres (13) intégré dans une matrice de résine époxydique (14). La structure composite époxydique (6, 6a) est exposée à un agent démoulant (11), comprenant par exemple un acide, tel que de l'acide formique, provoquant le délitement de la structure composite époxydique (6, 6a). L'au moins un mat de fibres (13) est récupéré à partir de la structure composite époxydique (6, 6a) délitée. Est également divulgué un mat de fibres recyclées (13) comprenant des particules époxydiques liées chimiquement et/ou mécaniquement à la surface du mat de fibres.
