Abstract
Method for recycling composite ropes, the method comprising a step of identifying (SO) the type of rope and at least one step of separating components comprising one or the other of the following steps /S1/, /S2/, /S3/, /S4/ as defined below: /SI/—a mechanical separation step, /S2/—a chemical separation step, /S3/—a thermal separation step, /S4/—a biological separation step and machine or installation for recycling composite ropes.
Claims20
A method of recycling composite strings, the composite strings each having at least one filament, the method comprising:
- a step of identifying (S0) a type of the composite strings including making a cross-section, taking a photo with magnification, and analyzing groups of the at least one filament to deduce therefrom a classification, and
- at least one step of separating components comprising one or the other of the following steps /S1/, S2/, /S3/, /S4/ as defined below:
- /S1/ a mechanical separation step,
- /S2/—a chemical separation step,
- /S3/—a thermal separation step,
- /S4/—a biological separation step.
A method of recycling composite strings having at least one filament and a coating, the coating comprising polyurethane and/or an elastomer, the method comprising:
- identifying a type of the at least one filament by making a cross-section, taking a photo with magnification, and analyzing a group of the least one filament;
- separating the composite strings and the coating;
- dissolving the coating in a solvent;
- and
- incorporating the separated composite strings into at least one selected from the group consisting of new strings, technical clothing with padding, technical protective clothing, and flame retardant technical clothing.
