Sub- and supercritical D-limonene technology as a green process to recover glass fibres from glass fibre-reinforced polyester composites

Recycling of post-consumed composites based on thermosets reinforced with glass fibre (GF) uses different methods such as mechanical processing, high voltage fragmentation, thermal, and chemical treatments. Chemical treatments are a more interesting methodology because they allow the recovery of cleaner and polymeric matrices free glass fibres. However, depending on the solvent employed, limitations in chemical treatments such as a decrease in...
