초록

본 연구에서는 마찰하전형정전선별법을 적용하여 폐플라스틱 맥주병(PET, Nylon)의 재활용을 위한 재질분리 연구를 수행하였다. 하전재질 선정을 위한 하전특성 연구결과, PMMA가 폐플라스틱 맥주병(PET, Nylon)의 재질분리에 가장 효과적인 하전재질로 확인되어, PMMA를 사용한 pipe line와 cyclone 하전장치를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 pipe line과cyclone 하전장치를 이용한 재질분리 실험결과, 최적 실험조건에서 PET의 품위와 회수율이 각각 99.6%와 88.2%인 결과를 얻어, 폐플라스틱 맥주병(PET, Nylon) 재활용을 위한 재질분리 기술을 확립하였다.

In this study, we carried out the research on triboelectrostatic separation for materials separation of PET & Nylon recovered to waste plastic beer bottle. From the research on charging characteristic for choice of charging materials, it was found that PMMA was optimum charging material to make high charging amount with opposite polarity for PET & Nylon in waste plastic beer bottle. Therefore, we manufactured a charger of pipe line and cyclone type using PMMA material for separation of PET and Nylon. At optimum test conditions that used PMMA pipe line and cyclone charger developed in this study, we developed a triboelectrostatic separation technique that can separate PET plastic up to grade of 99.6% and recovery of 88.2%. We established new separation technology that can recycle the PET and Nylon recovered from waste plastic beer bottle.
