Efficient reclamation of carbon fibers from epoxy composite waste through catalytic pyrolysis in molten ZnCl₂

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been widely used in various fields and have inevitably produced large amounts of composite waste. The recycling of carbon fibers with high value has become an active research topic at related institutions and production enterprises. In this paper, the catalytic pyrolysis of T700 carbon fiber/epoxy composites in molten salt was studied. Due to the efficient solubility of molten ZnCl2 for the epoxy...
