    • 摘要: 随着全球风电装机规模突破5.61亿kW,退役风机叶片的规模化处置成为亟待解决的环境与资源难题。聚焦玻璃纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料的热解特性,通过热重分析、Py-GCMS检测、原位红外测试与动力学建模,系统揭示了氮气氛围下退役叶片主梁材料的分阶段降解规律、产物组成及热解路径。结果表明:氮气热解相较于空气氛围展现出显著动力学优势,其最大失重速率提升219%,且规避了氧化副反应干扰;活化能随转化率呈动态变化特征,低转化率阶段(α=0.1~0.6)以环氧树脂主链断裂主导(活化能99.7~141.9 kJ/mol),中高阶段(α=0.6~1.0)则受扩散−反应耦合机制控制(活化能181.5~327.8 kJ/mol)。热解产物以双酚A(相对占比37.5%)、酚类物质为主要有机组分,气体产物中CO2(体积分数31.46%)与CH4(体积分数30.47%)占比最高;热解路径核心为醚键与苯环侧链C—C键优先断裂的自由基反应,200~300 ℃胺类固化剂交联键断裂释放小分子含氮碎片,300~500 ℃环氧树脂主链断裂生成中间体,>500 ℃断裂更彻底且小分子产物占比升高。通过Coats-Redfern与Criado模型协同分析,建立了分阶段动力学机理函数库,发现初始阶段符合n级反应与成核生长模型(F1、A1/2),中期转向三维扩散控制(ZH模型),后期受缩合反应界面控制(P3模型)。通过整合无模型法的全局优化能力与模型法的机理解析优势,结合产物与路径分析,建立了多维度耦合的热解动力学分析方法,为后续退役叶片资源化利用提供了关键理论支撑。

       

      Abstract: As the global installed capacity of wind power exceeds 561 million kilowatts, the large-scale disposal of waste wind turbine blades has become an urgent environmental and resource challenge. Focus is placed on the pyrolysis characteristics of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites, and the staged degradation patterns, product composition, and pyrolysis pathway of the main beam material of waste blades under a nitrogen atmosphere are systematically revealed via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Py-GCMS detection, in-situ infrared spectroscopy, and kinetic modeling. Significant kinetic advantages are displayed by pyrolysis under nitrogen compared with the air atmosphere: the maximum weight loss rate is raised by 219%, and the interference of oxidative side reactions is eliminated. Dynamic variations are observed in activation energy alongside changing conversion rates: in the low conversion stage (α=0.1−0.6), the reaction is dominated by the cleavage of the epoxy resin main chain with activation energy ranging from 99.7 kJ/mol to 141.9 kJ/mol, whereas in the medium-high conversion stage (α=0.6−1.0), reaction progression is governed by a diffusion-reaction coupling mechanism corresponding to activation energy between 181.5 kJ/mol and 327.8 kJ/mol. In terms of pyrolysis products, organic constituents are mainly composed of bisphenol A (relative proportion 37.5%) and phenolic substances, and gaseous products are predominated by CO2 (volume fraction 31.46%) and CH4 (volume fraction 30.47%). The pyrolysis pathway is centered on free radical reactions where preferential cleavage occurs at ether bonds and C—C bonds on benzene ring side chains: small-molecule nitrogen-containing fragments are released from fractured cross-linking bonds of amine curing agents at 200–300 ℃; epoxy resin main chains are ruptured to form intermediate products at 300–500 ℃; more thorough bond cleavage is realized above 500 ℃ alongside an elevated proportion of small-molecule products. A library of staged kinetic mechanism functions is constructed through collaborative analysis based on the Coats–Redfern and Criado models. Reaction behaviours are verified to fit specific kinetic models at different phases: the initial stage is matched with the nth-order reaction and nucleation-growth models (F1, A1/2), the middle stage is governed by three-dimensional diffusion control (ZH model), and the later stage is dominated by the condensation reaction interface (P3 model). A multi-dimensional coupled pyrolysis kinetic analysis method is formulated by combining the global optimization capability of model-free methods, the mechanistic analysis superiority of model-based methods, as well as product and pyrolysis pathway characterization. Critical theoretical support is offered for follow-up resource-oriented recycling of waste wind turbine blades.
