Abstract

Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) has been usually used for various applications. Bottom ash generated in thermoelectric power plant is hardly recycled. In this study, EPDM/bottom ash/talc composites were prepared by using roll-mill. Bottom ashes obtained from thermoelectric power plant were modified using surfactant. The processing materials used in this study were antioxidant, processing oil, cross-linking co-agent and softening agent. Morphology and physical properties of EPDM composites are investigated by using SEM, TGA, UTM and Rheometer. As a result, when modified ash and talc are added to EPDM composites, the tensile strength and modulus of EPDM composites were remarkably enhanced.

EPDM 고무는 여러 가지 용도에 많이 사용되고 있는 소재이다. 화력발전소의 소각로에서 부산물로 발생하는 버텀애쉬(bottom ash)는 플라이애쉬(fly ash)와는 달리 재활용이 거의 되지 않고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 버텀애쉬 및 탈크를 포함하는 EPDM 복합소재를 roll-mill을 이용하여 제조한 후, 기계적, 열적, 전기적 및 경화 특성 등을 분석하였다. 또한 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 이용하여 복합재료의 모폴로지를 관찰하였다. 일부의 버텀애쉬는 계면활성제를 이용하여 개질한 후 EPDM 복합재료를 제조하여 개질의 효과를 조사하였다. 결과로 개질된 버텀애쉬 및 탈크를 포함하는 EPDM 복합재료는 우수한 인장 강도 및 인장 탄성률을 나타내었다. EPDM 복합재료의 체적 저항은 $10^{14}{\Omega}cm$ 이상으로 전기 절연체로서 저항 임계치를 만족하였고, 열적 물성 결과 버텀애쉬 및 탈크가 EPDM의 열적 안정성을 높여 주는 것으로 확인되었다.
