초록

폐 자동차에서 떼어낸 범퍼는 분쇄 및 도장 (paint)제거 공정을 거친 후 신재 (pristine materials)와 일정 비율 혼합하여 자동차 부품을 제조하는 공정에서 재활용된다. 본 연구에서는 신재와 도장이 제거된 범퍼 분쇄품을 일정 비율 혼합하여 혼합비에 따른 기계적인 물성 및 화학적인 성질을 연구하였다. 신재에 범퍼 분쇄 품을 혼합하였을 때 인장강도 및 굴곡탄성율과 같은 강성은 두 물질의 조성 평균으로 나타났지만, 충격강도와 파단 신율과 같은 인성 (toughness)은 조성 평균보다 낮은 negative deviation을 보였다. 이는 두 물질간의 혼화성이 부족하여 발생하는 결과라는 것을 FT-IR 분석을 통하여 알 수 있었다. 범퍼 분쇄품의 혼합 비율이 30% 이상에서 두 물성이 급격히 저하되었다. 이를 활용하면 최적의 배합 비율을 선정할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 이전 연구에서 밝힌 바와 같이 도장 제거율을 80 % 수준까지는 달성하기는 쉽지만 나머지 20%를 제거하기 위하여 많은 노력과 에너지가 소요되는 바, 도장이 제거되지 않은 분쇄품과 도장이 제거된 분쇄품의 혼합 비율에 따른 기계적인 물성에 대하여 실험하였다. 도장이 제거되지 않은 범퍼 분쇄품이 소량만 첨가되어도 기계적인 물성은 급격히 저하가 되어 폐 범퍼를 재활용하기 위해서는 도장 제거 공정이 매우 중요하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Waste bumpers from out-of-service vehicles are recycled in the manufacturing process of plastic parts by incorporating pristine materials after removing the coated paint on a bumper. This study examined the chemical properties and mechanical properties of a mixture of recycled bumper and pristine materials as a function of the mixing ratio. When the pristine materials and the recycled bumper pieces were mixed, the stiffness (tensile strength and the flexural modulus) was provided by their composition averages. On the other hand, the toughness (Izod impact strength and the elongation-at-break) was lower than their composition averages (i.e., negative deviation). FTIR analysis showed that these results were due to the absence of the compatibility between the pristine materials and recycled bumper pieces. When the recycled bumper pieces were loaded at more than 30 wt. %, the toughness decreased drastically. A previous study showed that a paint removal efficiency up to 80 wt.% was easily attainable. The other 20 wt.% of paint on the bumper is very difficult to remove. Therefore, this study examined the mechanical properties of a mixture of recycled bumper pieces containing the unremoved paint and recycled bumper pieces without paint. When the recycled bumper pieces containing the unremoved paint were incorporated in only small quantities, the mechanical properties were decreased to a great extent. These results show that the paint removal efficiency is very important in the recycled bumper industry.
