Inventory analysis in production and recycling process of advanced composite materials

抄録

This paper described an estimation of inventory data of advanced composite materials. Inventory analysis, especially about energy consumption of production and recycling processes of carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP) was mentioned. In production process, data of energy consumption in various molding processes were calculated and compared with the data of production of carbon fiber and prepreg. Amount of energy required in production of carbon fiber is much larger than other processes and it was proved that it is most important process for improvement. In recycling process, data of material recycling and thermal recycling were estimated. Since energy needed in material recycling is much smaller than that of production process, the validity of material recycling was shown.
