Mechanical Recycling of Autoclave Laminated Plastic
Towards Sustainable Waste Management
Methods: The study commences by analyzing the composition of collected ALP materials using X-ray diffraction analysis. Subsequently, recycling techniques,
including melting, and shredding, are explored and assessed.
Results: After multiple melting setups, the high-pressure melting setup, augmented by a continuous pressure spring mechanism, successfully yielded recycled ALP blocks that could be further processed into dogbone-shaped specimens. The results of the tensile tests revealed a Young’s modulus of 269 ± 85 MPa for the recycled ALP.
Discussion: These findings hold promise in the transformation of ALP waste into valuable recycled products, mitigating the environmental impact of single-use medical plastics. However, the study underscores the need for further optimization of the recycling process to enhance mechanical properties and overall material quality, ultimately advancing sustainability efforts in the medical sector.
The CMS Hadron Calorimeter in the barrel, endcap and forward regions is fully commissioned. Cosmic ray data were taken with and without magnetic field at the surface hall and after installation in the experimental hall, hundred meters underground. Various measurements were also performed during the few days of beam in the LHC in September 2008. Calibration parameters were extracted, and the energy response of the HCAL determined from test beam data has been checked.
