선박용 폐 FRP의 재활용 공정은 층 분리된 시편을 제조한 후, 촉매인 NaOH를 0.08이상, 용매인 PG를 6.0(폐 FRP 시편 무게당)이상 사용하여 분해하였고, 최적 반응시간은 5시간, 반응온도는 $250^{\circ}C$였다. 분해액에서 60 %의 PG를 분리한 잔여액을 사용하여도 재생 불포화 폴리에스터 수지를 합성할 수 있었으며, 분해공정에서 배출된 폐 유리섬유는 재생수지에 혼합 사용할 수 있었다.

There is several ways of recycling methods for waste FRP boats. The main one is mechanical recycling that is one of the simple and technically proven methods. It recently has been reported that FRP can be recycled by separating into laminated glass fiber layers instead of crushing into powder. Even though the mechanical recycling is a good way for the eligibility of laminated glass fiber reinforced material, the system should have another option which can collect resin of FRP. Because the resin is still very useful renewable energy source, that cannot be discarded, But FRP is made up of laminated glass fiber(roving cloth layer) which is fire retardant substances and very hard to break into each layer. Due to the high cost of fossil energy the waste plastics should be regenerated to the source of renewable energy. Laminated glass fiber which is recyclable in a very limited way, is currently a serious barrier to waste FRP boat regenerating. This study is to propose a new extracting method which is efficient and environment friendly FRP waste regenerating system. The recycled glass fiber which is obtained by the separation of the roving layer from FRP waste has been found to be useful for concrete(FRC) products or concrete(FRC) structures as fiber reinforced material. And it can be successively applied to renewable energy applications using the waste resins of FRP residue without laminated glass fiber.

While the effort has been made in recycling the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) used for the medium-to-small size ships, researchers try to find out the methods more favorable for the environments and more value-added. In respect to the fact that the FRP consists of two types of layers, roving and mat, differentiated by the 2-dimensional structure, our group was able to separate the layers of FRP instead of grinding it. The roving cloth was cut to the long glass fibers (about 50 mm long; calling it 'F-fiber' afterwards). F-fiber showed increasing tensile strength and chemical-resistance possibly due to the remained resin (about 25% by weight). In this experiment fiber-reinforced mortars are made of the F-fiber as a recycling method of FRP. The mortar containing 2% (v/v) F-fiber results in 34.6% increment of bending strength from the standard after 28 day curing. The resulting strength is similar to that of the mortar with imported polyvinyl fiber P-54. These results imply that F-fiber can be applied to the 'fiber reinforced mortar' and furthermore may be a substitute for the imported fibers.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the eco-friendly and economical recycling process. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using boiling concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH, or hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution. Furthermore efficiently coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photophysically. The layer differentiation and the automatic layer distraction move up the date of simple and automatic separation process for the waste FRP.

분쇄한 FRP(Fiver-Reinforced Plastics) 폐기물을 사용한 폴리머 모르타르의 물성에 고나하여 조사하였다. 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물을 시멘트 모르타르의 세골재로 재활용하기 위하여 세골재에 대하여 0~50wt% 치환.사용하였고, FRP 폐기물의 사용으로 나타나는 강도 저하현상을 보완하기 위하여 3종류 폴리머 혼화제의 첨가량을 변화시켜 각종 공시체를 제작하였다. 폴리머 혼화제로서는 styrene-bytadiene rubber(SBR) 라텍스, polyacrylic ester(PAE) 에멀젼 및 ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA)에멀젼을 사용하였다. 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물을 사용한 시멘트 모르타르에 폴리머 혼화제를 첨가하여 만든 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르는 폴리머 혼화제를 첨가하지 않은 모르타르보다 압축 및 휨강도가 크게 증가하였다. 폴리머 시멘트비 10wt%에서 세골재 대용으로 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물의 적정 치환량은 20wt%로 나타났다. 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 가열양생하여 제조한 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르는 폴리머 시멘트비 10wt%이하에서 표준양생한 모르타르보다 강도가 저하되었다. 폴리머 시멘트 포르타르의 흡수율은 폴리머 시멘트비가 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하였다.

A recycling process for the waste FRP from boats was developed. The recycling process is composed of decomposition of waste FRP with propylene glycol and synthesis of recycled unsaturated polyester resin from the decomposed liquid material. Prior to the decomposition, waste FRP was cut into 2cm x 5cm segments and mechanical impact was applied by press roller to give gaps between cumulated laminates. Propylene glycol effectively decomposed the waste FRP segments and glass fibers were easily separated from decomposed liquid material. Recycled unsaturated polyester resin could be made from the decomposed liquid material by reaction with maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.

Around the 1980s, with government's promotion and dissemination policies for FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) of the government as a main material of fishing boats, approximately 97% of the entire fishing boats in Korea have utilized FRP until now. Nevertheless, diverse social and environmental issues have emerged due to the susceptibility to fire and the generation of substances detrimental to human health during the construction process of FRP fishing vessels. Especially, the high disposal cost and the limitation of recycling technology in the disposal process of FRP fishing boats have elicited attention to circular economy. This research intended to grasp the management status and problems of disposed FRP fishing boats in Korea, and to assess the level of competitive advantage of FRP fishing boats' recycling technologies of FRP fishing boats based on VRIO (Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization) analysis through domestic and foreign management policies and related recycling examples. According to the survey of 161 respondents, including the industry, stakeholders and experts related to the collection, treatment and recycling of fisheries wastes, it was revealed that FRP fishing boats' recycling technologies of FRP fishing boats are at the level of 'unused competitive advantage' that satisfied the level of value, rarity and imitability, but not the level of organization.

In recent, a great number of electric motor units (EMUs) have been disused in Korea according as its legal duration is 25 years. Generally, the disused EMUs are disposed by selling original form or scrapping for junk. Until now, any efficient disposal system for disused EMUs has not existed. The purpose of this study was to develop the recycling process for the FRP used as an interior panel of EMU. This process was to manufacture a product mixing binders, fillers and the powdered FRP. The characteristics of a product were changed with the mixing ratio of the powdered FRP. The optimal ratio of the powdered FRP was from 10 % to 15 % (w/w). In the future, the application of this process can enhance the efficiency of resource recycling and decrease the cost of waste treatment in the EMU industry.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the data for manufacturing of microbe carriers as a method of FRP waste recycling technology. Since FRP waste is polymer, the experiment of the thermogravity analyzing was carried out to find thermal behavior. After that, microbe carriers were prepared from waste FRP powder, which had been decomposed, milled, and mixed with clay as a binder and CaCO3 as a flux and a loaming agent, respectively. finally it was made by filing of the sample up to 1,05$0^{\circ}C$. It was investigated how the variation of the additives and firing temperature effect apparent density, water absorption and micro structure.
