TL;DR
This paper explores using waste from wind turbine blades in making particleboards for construction, showing promising mechanical properties.
Contribution
The study proposes a novel recycling method for wind turbine blade waste in construction materials.
Findings
Particleboards made with wind turbine waste achieved strengths above 20 N/mm2.
Elastic modulus of the boards was close to 4000 N/mm2.
MUF resin slightly outperformed PF resin in board quality.
Abstract
Recent reports indicate that the development of electricity generation using wind turbines will continue to grow. Despite the long service life of wind turbine blades, their technological life comes to an end at a certain point. Currently, there is no industrial method for recycling them, and the proposed solutions need to consider a complete and comprehensive approach to this material. In many countries, these blades are stored in special landfills and await proposals for rational recycling. It has been proposed that this recyclable yet still troublesome raw material be used in building sheathing boards. Sheathing boards used in the construction industry have a relatively long lifecycle. Three types of polymer chips and two resins, i.e., PF and MUF, were used in the study. The boards’ quality was assessed per the standards specified for particle boards. The resulting boards were…
