Glycolysis of advanced polyurethanes composites containing thermoregulating microcapsules

Rigid PU foams are properly recycled by a single-phase glycolysis process employing crude glycerol as transesterification agent. A high pure recovered polyol (71% of purity) was obtained using a mass ratio of PU scraps to crude glycerol of 1 to 1, a reaction temperature of 190 °C and stannous octoat...

A high pure recovered polyol (71% of purity) was obtained using a mass ratio of PU scraps to crude glycerol of 1 to 1, a reaction temperature of 190 °C and stannous octoate as catalyst in a 1.3 wt% concentration. PU foam composites containing thermoregulating microcapsules constituted by a paraffin core (Rubitherm®RT27) and a polymer shell material (LDPE and EVA) were glycolyzed, allowing to recover the microcapsules components and the polyol separately. This way, both components of the composite are recovered and can be reused in the manufacturing of new products; demonstrating for first time the viability of the chemical recycling of this kind of composites. Besides, the developed process was successfully applied for foams containing different proportions between the hard and soft segments, demonstrating its robustness. Finally, the recovered polyols were successfully employed to replace a raw rigid polyether polyol in the synthesis of new rigid PU foams. The most important physical and mechanical properties (density, maximum compressive strength and Young modulus) were maintained constant for the incorporation up to a 25 wt% of recovered polyol coming from conventional rigid PU foam scraps and up to a 37.5 wt% with the recovered polyol from rigid PU foam containing thermoregulating microcapsules. Regarding the effective thermal conductivity, it remained constant, even with 100 wt% of recovered polyol from PU scraps with thermoregulating microcapsules.Las espumas rígidas de PU se reciclan adecuadamente mediante un proceso de glucólisis de una sola fase que emplea glicerol crudo como agente de transesterificación. Se obtuvo un poliol recuperado de alta pureza (71 % de pureza) usando una relación de masa de desechos de PU a glicerol crudo de 1 a 1, una temperatura de reacción de 190 °C y octoato estannoso como catalizador en una concentración de 1,3 % en peso. Compuestos de espuma de PU que contenían microcápsulas termorreguladoras constituidas por un núcleo de parafina (Rubitherm®RT27) y un material de cubierta de polímero (LDPE y EVA) fueron glicolizados, lo que permitió recuperar los componentes de las microcápsulas y el poliol por separado. De esta forma, ambos componentes del composite se recuperan y pueden reutilizarse en la fabricación de nuevos productos; demostrando por primera vez la viabilidad del reciclaje químico de este tipo de composites. Además, el proceso desarrollado se aplicó con éxito para espumas que contenían diferentes proporciones entre los segmentos duros y blandos, demostrando su robustez. Finalmente, los polioles recuperados se emplearon con éxito para reemplazar un poliol de poliéter rígido crudo en la síntesis de nuevas espumas rígidas de PU. Las propiedades físicas y mecánicas más importantes (densidad, resistencia máxima a la compresión y módulo de Young) se mantuvieron constantes para la incorporación de hasta un 25 % en peso de poliol recuperado procedente de desechos de espuma de PU rígida convencional y hasta un 37,5 % en peso con el poliol recuperado. de espuma rígida de PU que contiene microcápsulas termorreguladoras. En cuanto a la conductividad térmica efectiva, se mantuvo constante, incluso con 100% en peso de poliol recuperado de desechos de PU con microcápsulas termorreguladoras.Elsevier202220222018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10578/29963reponame:RUIdeRA.
