    Research progress on chemical recycling of thermosetting resins for wind turbine blades

    • 摘要: 随着风电产业的快速发展,大量退役风电叶片的高值化回收已成为亟待解决的关键问题。叶片主体为热固性树脂复合材料,其稳定的三维交联网络导致传统填埋方法难以实现材料的循环利用与再生。系统综述了废弃风电叶片回收技术的研究进展,重点对比分析了物理法、热化学法(焚烧、热解)和溶剂降解法(氧化降解、催化降解)的技术原理、优缺点及应用现状,详细论述了针对环氧树脂、不饱和聚酯树脂的催化降解策略及近年来代表性研究进展。研究表明:基于选择性断裂特定化学键的催化降解技术因其反应条件相对温和、纤维损伤小、可回收高附加值单体或低聚物等优势,成为最具发展前景的资源化利用技术。通过溶剂、催化剂和树脂结构的相互匹配,可以实现环氧树脂和不饱和聚酯树脂的定向降解。其中,选择性断裂环氧树脂中的苯基烷基醚键、C—N键及酯键,可实现双酚A、双酚A甘油醚类低聚物、二酸类化合物等关键单体的回收;而针对不饱和聚酯树脂中酯键的选择性断裂,则可获得二醇及其衍生物、邻苯二甲酸、苯乙烯−马来酸共聚物等高值化学品。采用催化降解技术回收的纤维,其强度保留率可达95%以上。该技术具有显著的技术经济优势和绿色可持续潜力,是实现废弃风电叶片高值化闭环回收的核心路径。最后,对该领域未来面临的挑战与发展方向进行了展望,以期为构建绿色、可持续的风电产业链提供理论参考和技术支撑。

       

      Abstract: With the rapid development of the wind power industry, the high-value recycling of a large number of decommissioned wind turbine blades has become a crucial issue that urgently needs to be addressed. The main body of wind turbine blades is made of thermosetting resin composites, whose stable three-dimensional cross-linked network makes it difficult to realize the recycling and regeneration of materials through traditional landfill methods. A systematic review is presented on the research progress of recycling technologies for waste wind turbine blades, with a focus on comparing and analyzing the technical principles, advantages, disadvantages, and application status of physical methods, thermochemical methods (incineration and pyrolysis), and solvolysis methods (oxidative degradation and catalytic degradation). It also elaborates on the catalytic degradation strategies and representative research advances in recent years targeting epoxy resins and unsaturated polyester resins. Research indicates that the catalytic degradation technology based on the selective cleavage of specific chemical bonds has advantages such as relatively mild reaction conditions, minimal fiber damage, and the ability to recover high- value-added monomers or oligomers. It has become the most promising resource utilization technology. Through the mutual matching of solvents, catalysts, and resin structures, the directional degradation of epoxy resins and unsaturated polyester resins can be achieved. In this context, the selective cleavage of phenyl alkyl ether bonds, C—N bonds, and ester bonds in epoxy resins enables the recovery of key monomers such as bisphenol A, bisphenol A glycidyl ether oligomers, and diacid compounds. For unsaturated polyester resins, the selective cleavage of ester bonds yields high-value chemicals including diols and their derivatives, phthalic acid, and styrene–maleic acid copolymer. The strength retention rate of fibers recovered by catalytic degradation technology can reach over 95%. This technology exhibits significant technical and economic advantages as well as green and sustainable potential, and serves as a core pathway for achieving high-value closed-loop recycling of decommissioned wind turbine blades. Finally, the future challenges and development directions in this field are prospected, aiming to provide theoretical reference and technical support for constructing a green and sustainable wind power industry chain.
