摘要

Recent legislation such as the WEEE directive in Europe has meant that devices such as flat panel displays can no longer be disposed of by landfill. Current methods for disposal and/or recycling of these valuable waste resources are at best limited. It is predicted that by 2010 in the UK alone, 33 tonnes of liquid crystal flat panel displays will be discarded daily, equating to 9 tonnes of liquid crystal per year with a potential value of tens of millions of dollars. Herein we demonstrate that both liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide are effective and environmentally benign solvents for extraction of liquid crystals from display devices. Typically the recovery with liquid carbon dioxide was in excess of 96% after 15 minutes. Extractions with carbon dioxide demonstrate numerous advantages over traditional solvents such as dichloromethane; toxicity is reduced, no solvent residues remain after release of pressure and in many cases secondary purification processes are not required. Pilot scale extractions have been undertaken and demonstrated high extraction yields consistent with those achieved on a laboratory scale. Variation of both temperature and pressure (and therefore density) has shown that a degree of fractionation is achievable at the point of extraction and/or collection. The recovered liquid crystal exhibits the nematic phase as evidenced by thermal polarising optical microscopy (Figure 1).
