초록

생활계에서 발생되는 폐비닐은 토사, 금속, 유리 등의 이물질로 인해 고형연료(SRF, Solid Refuse Fuel)로 사용되었지만 최근 환경문제로 인해 고형연료의 사용량이 감소하고 있어 재활용이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 폐비닐 재활용을 위해 우선 생활계 폐비닐로 생산된 복합 재생원료와 영농폐비닐로 생산된 PE 단일 재생원료에 대해 분석을 진행하였다. 원료 분석 결과, 폐비닐은 주로 폴리에틸렌으로 이루어져 있고 복합 재생원료는 약 2%의 회분이 잔존하고 있으며 PE 단일 재생원료의 경우는 회분이 없는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 두 재생원료의 배합비율에 따른 인장강도를 측정한 결과 열처리 온도 200 ℃, 압착 압력 30 MPa, 배합비율 3:7 (복합:PE 단일) 조건에서 인장강도가 최대 약 16 MPa임을 확인하였다. 굽힘강도는 열처리 온도 200 ℃, 압착 압력 30 MPa, 배합비율 3:7 (복합:PE 단일) 조건에서 최대 약 39 MPa임을 확인하였다. 따라서 재생원료들의 배합비율에 따른 강도 특성 변화를 확인함으로써 폐비닐의 재활용 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다.

Waste vinyl generated from household waste has been used as a solid refuse fuel (SRF) due to the presence of impurities such as soil, metal, and glass; however, the amount of SRF used has been decreasing owing to recent environmental problems, thereby necessitating the need for recycling. In this study, the mixed recycled raw material produced from household waste vinyl and polyethylene (PE) single recycled raw material produced from agricultural waste vinyl were examined. Raw material analysis revealed that waste vinyl was mainly composed of polyethylene, and approximately 2% of ash remained in the mixed recycled raw material, whereas no ash was found in the PE single recycled raw material. In addition, the analysis of tensile strength according to the mixing ratio of the two recycled raw materials revealed that the highest tensile strength was approximately 16 MPa under the heat treatment temperature of 200 ℃, compression pressure of 30 MPa, and a mixing ratio of 3:7 (mixed:PE single). In addition, the highest bending strength was approximately 39 MPa under the heat treatment temperature of 200 ℃, compression pressure of 30 MPa, and a mixing ratio of 3:7 (mixed:PE single). Therefore, the possibility of recycling waste vinyl was suggested by investigating the change in strength characteristics according to the mixing ratio of the recycled raw materials.
