Abstract:
The manufacturing of various polymers utilizes complex metal parts which are reclaimed for repeat use. Traditional reclamation methods utilize solvents and other chemicals which have a high energy demand and involve expensive disposal methods – some of which involve landfills.
In response, the DEECOM® technology, a solvent-free and relatively low temperature reclamation technology, is based on a pressure swing technique designed to physically disrupt and remove polymer from parts. The mechanism of the new process results in filter reclamation procedures that are relatively friendly environmentally, have a higher degree of sustainability, and generate a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.
In addition to polymer filters, the DEECOM® technology has more recently been utilized in other reclamation applications. These include the reclamation of polyester from PET bottles, carbon fiber from epoxy based composites, as well as, the reclamation of spent activated carbon loaded with organic components.
This paper describes the development of the novel, patented, and solvent free low temperature cleaning & reclamation process known as DEECOM®.
