Revolutionary construction using carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CRC) can only be viable by considering full value chains and entire life cycles. The recycling process plays a crucial role in assessing the total CO₂ emissions of a product at the end of its life cycle. In order to achieve high mechanical performance of the CRC, the carbon fibers are impregnated by different types of polymers before their incorporation in the concrete matrix. Recycling of carbon fiber reinforced concrete is commonly done using mechanical or hydrothermal techniques resulting in small recycled pieces and high energy consumption. Electrochemical recycling has the potential to be an environmentally friendly alternative to common techniques as it can be powered by renewable energy sources and performed under mild conditions. In this work we investigate the dissolution of commercially available CFRP reinforcement impregnated with PMMA and commercial acrylate thermoplastic, respectively, by commonly available chemicals both with and without the aid of electrochemical potential applied. Various solvents were compared, showing clear differences with regard to polymer decomposition. The use of acetic acid turned out to be superior in dissolving impregnations, outperforming e.g. the smaller formic acid and the larger citric acid. By applying an electrical voltage on the carbon fiber at room temperature, the dissolution capability of acetic acid was enhanced representing a valuable, mild and easy-to-handle approach for recycling of end-of-life CFRP.
