Abstract

In order to recycle the waste bumper, techniques removing coated paint on a bumper is crucial. Chemical methods are known to be much more effective in removing the paint compared to physical methods. However, the chemical methods generally use toxic solvents and consequently cause environmental pollution. In this study, we tested a new method which combines the chemical and physical method to reduce the amount of solvent and increase the paint removal efficiency. We found that mechanical stirring increases the paint removal efficiency in soaking stage of solvent. When solid particles as a stress transfer media are incorporated into the solvent and high mechanical stirring is applied, the paint removal efficiency is very high. It was proved that the combined method can accomplish high level of the paint removal efficiency maintaining low amount of solvent consumed.

자동차 폐범퍼를 재활용하기 위해서는 도장된 페인트를 효율적으로 제거하는 기술이 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 개발된 방법들은 환경오염을 유발할 수 있는 화학적 방법이 물리적 방법에 비해 도장 제거율이 높다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 물리적 제거법의 낮은 도막 제거율을 높이기 위하여 화학적 제거법과 물리적 제거법을 혼합하여 용매의 사용량을 줄이고 도막의 제거율을 높이는 방법을 시도하였다. 용매를 침지하는 과정에서 기계적인 교반이 도장 제거율을 높임을 확인하였고, 중간 매체로 고체입자를 혼합하였을 때 매우 높은 도장 제거율을 보임을 관찰하였다. 이로서 적절한 방법으로 화학적인 방법과 물리적인 방법을 혼합하면 용매의 양을 줄이면서 도장 제거율을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
