Examples of products derived from recycled fibers will be presented. The use of additives, compatibilizers and reinforcements to enhance properties will be illustrated. For mixed fiber waste the issue of what must be removed and what can be retained will be addressed. <br/> <br/>Description: [Title page only] http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/10777 Title: An Overview of Commercial Recycling Technologies and Textile Applications for the Products <br/> <br/>Authors: Hawn, Kenneth L. <br/> <br/>Abstract: A broad overview is provided on commercial equipment for size reduction, densification, pelletizing, washing and sorting. Processes for converting the recovered materials into plastic parts, fibers and films will be discussed. http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/10772 Title: Recent US Patents on Carpet Recycling <br/> <br/>Authors: Wang, Youjiang <br/> <br/>Abstract: This talk briefly reviews recent US patents related to carpet recycling. It provides a sampling of new innovative processes, technologies and products. The patents are reviewed in the following categories: chemical process-depolymerization, other chemical processes, component separation, products, mechanical processing, and recyclable carpet. http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/10771 Title: Process and Product Options for Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Recycling <br/> <br/>Authors: Nadkarni, Vikas M. <br/> <br/>Abstract: The lecture reviews the various process technology options for physical and chemical recycling of PET, along with business opportunities for entrepreneurs in different countries to set up 'eco-friendly' industries producing useful value-added products from PET waste. The various issues relevant to carrying out a techno-commercial assessment of a PET recycling project, with respect to its technical feasibility and economic viability, will be discussed.
