Abstract

Due to the environmental problem caused by plastics largely used in various fields, the importance of recycling is being emphasized. A research on material separation of ABS and PS mixed plastic waste, using a triboelectrostatic separator, was carried out for recovery the ABS. As a results of research on charging characteristic for choosing charging material, it was confirmed that ABS was optimum charging material for a tribo-charger in the material separation of ABS and PS. In the material separation using ABS charger, ABS grade of 99.5% and recovery of 92.5% were achieved at 20 kV, splitter position +2 cm from the center and 30% relative humidity. Therefore, material separation technique for recycling ABS and PS mixed plastic waste was established.

다양한 분야에 사용되고 있는 플라스틱은 최근 환경문제가 대두되면서 재활용 이슈가 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마찰하전형정전선별을 적용하여 ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)와 PS(Polystyrene)의 혼합된 폐플라스틱으로부터 ABS를 회수하기 위한 재질분리 연구를 수행하였다. 하전물질의 재질선정을 위한 하전특성연구결과, ABS재질이 대상시료인 ABS와 PS의 혼합 폐플라스틱의 재질분리에 효과적인 하전재질로 확인되었다. 선정된 하전물질을 적용하여 마찰하전형정전선별을 수행한 결과, 공급전압세기 20 kV, 분리대위치 양극방향 2 cm 그리고 상대습도 30%에서 ABS의 품위와 회수율이 각각 99.5%와 92.5%인 결과를 얻어, ABS와 PS의 혼합 플라스틱의 재활용을 위한 재질분리 기술을 확립하였다.
