Abstract
The recycling and high-valued added reuse of automotive plastics have elicited global attention as the number of end-of-life vehicles increase. In the paper, the two-stage high-voltage electrostatic separation is used to explore the sorting of passenger vehicle plastic mixtures of PP, ABS and PVC. The purities of PP, ABS and PVC are all higher than 97%, and the recovery rates are 55%, 93%, and 48%, respectively. Taking PP plastic as an example, the mechanical properties of the recycled materials and the different ratios of recycled and new material mixtures are studied. Results show that the passenger car bumpers reproduced with a 7:3 ratio of new and recycled materials can satisfy the performance requirements. The finding provides a reference for the high additional value reuse of other automotive plastics.
