RekCarb – Upcycle of carbon containing residuals and by-products through recrystallisation in molten metals
Initial Situation:
- Many carbon containing residuals are yet either burned or landfilled
- The chemical potential of carbon containing residuals often remains unused, since economically feasible processes for the recycling of carbon containing residuals are not established.
- Examples for C-containing residuals or by-products:
- Polymeric scrap
- Carbon black produced during methane-pyrolysis
Objectives:
- Development of anew process concept for the manufacturing of carbon nano materials
- Upcycle of residuals to Graphene-Nano-Platelets (GNP)
Agenda
- Conceptual design and construction of an experimental setup for the Melt-Recrystallisation
- Investigation of optimal conditions for recrystallisation of Carbon
- Composition of the fusible alloy
- Temperature control
- Influence of feedstock material
- Implementation of a circular process:
- Injection of carbon containing material as powder or granulate
- Conceptual design for the separation of the carbon nano material from the melt surface
- Investigation of the chemical composition and morphology of the carbon nano material
