Riciclaggio di Materiali Compositi

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 10:56:52 +0000

Boeing e Alenia Aeronautica, una società Finmeccanica, hanno annunciato in luglio 2008 il lancio del primo centro in Italia per il riciclaggio dei materiali compositi (MC).

MC: Si tratta di materiali di solito non presenti in natura che sono il risultato di una combinazione tridimensionale di almeno due materiali tra loro chimicamente differenti con un’interfaccia di separazione. Vari MC sono usati in strutture quali ad esempio quelle impiegate sul Boeing 777 a motivo della loro resistenza e leggerezza, nonché della resistenza alla fatica, alla corrosione e agli impatti.

Il nuovo centro sarà fondato da Milled Carbon (con sede a Birmingham, Regno Unito), Karborek (con sede in Puglia) ed ENEA (Ente per le nuove Tecnologie, l’Energia e l’Ambiente), e sarà basato nel sud Italia.

Boeing e Milled Carbon sono entrambi membri dell’AFRA (Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association), un’organizzazione internazionale che si occupa di definire le regole per il riciclo di aerei in dismissione e delle loro componenti. Anche la joint venture che gestirà il nuovo centro entrerà a far parte dell’AFRA, rafforzando il know-how e le competenze dell’organizzazione nel campo del riciclo dei compositi.
