Abstract EN

The present work aims to recycling of tainted sediment filters that used in water purification and desalination in order to reduce the environment contaminations.

In this research, the tainted Polypropylene sediment filters we are used as strengthening phase in unsaturated Polyester resin matrix.The percentage of sediment particles is 15% as percentage weight at average particle size is 30 μm.The percentage of strengthening phase is 12.5% ( PP Fibers + Sediment Clay Particles) from UPS resin.

The specimens are prepared as two types the first is (UPS+Tainted Filter) and the second is (UPS+New Filter) then compare between the results .The tensile strength, compression strength, flexural strength, impact strength, hardness and thermal conductivity test were studied.

The results showed that the hardness strength improved by to 12% percentage, tensile strength improved to 18% percentage, flexural strength improved to 17% percentage and compression strength improved to 11% percentage at tainted filter strengthening while the impact strength was decreased to 25% percentage and the fracture toughness to 15%.

Also, thermal conductivity decrease by 20% percentage.

We can use it in many applications such as sewer room cover, faucet handles and agricultural applications.
