Recycling treatment of cable insulation resin generated from electric wires and cables was investigated. Here, PVC is the most common insulation resin and conventional insulation PVC contains a lead component, tribase, as a thermal stabilizer. To recycle this PVC as insulation resin, lead removal is necessary to be able to conform to RoHS. This paper proposes a solvent dissolution and centrifugation method and the effects of flocculants and water addition in the processes involved are described.
► Cable insulation PVC contains lead component as thermal stabilizer. ► Lead removal is needed to recycle PVC as insulation resin. ► Lead removal using dissolution and centrifugation method was carried out. ► Flocculants and water addition improved lead removal.
