Metallized
film capacitors (MFCs) are widely applied in electronic
appliances. The rapid replacement of electronic products leads to
producing a great many waste MFCs. Waste MFCs, containing organics
(plastic dielectric and brominated epoxy resin) and metals (zinc,
copper, iron, etc.), are not only considered as hazardous waste but
also a valuable resource for recycling. However, how to recycle waste
MFCs effectively is seldom considered. This work provided an integrated
technology for recovering waste MFCs. First, waste MFCs were treated
by pyrolysis to recycle the organics. The decomposition characteristic,
product, and mechanism of the organics were studied. A pyrolysis temperature
of 500 °C and holding time for 30 min were determined as the
optimal parameters. Then, the residues were conducted by grinding
and screening to recover copper–iron electrodes. Finally, hexagonal
flake-like zinc powder with a particle size of 15 μm was recovered
by vacuum metallurgy separation (VMS). The VMS principle for recovering
zinc and the growth process of hexagonal flake-shape zinc powder were
analyzed. The recovery rate and purity of zinc could reach 95.66%
and 99.87%, respectively, at 650 °C and 100 Pa for 2 h. In short,
our study contributes to the efficient and maximum recycling of waste
MFCs.
