However, there is little information on the technoeconomic impact of this method, thus whether it is economically better than current techniques. Terefore, in this paper, we discuss the technoeconomic analysis of recycling using hydrogen peroxide. Te analysis also includes a thermodynamic model to calculate the amount of energy required to decompose the epoxy matrix. Various fnancial indicators, including the payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and proftability index (PI), were used. Te technoeconomic assessment revealed favourable outcomes across all key fnancial indicators, demonstrating the viability and potential benefts of the process. A capital investment of $17.34M over 10 years was required. Te NPV of $15.56M with a 15% minimum discounted rate of return (WACC) was computed. Te project is morelikely to succeed with an annual productioncost of$176.5 millionfor 50,000tons inthe frst year, withthis amountsubject to annual infation. A sensitivity analysis was also performed to assess the efect of input variables. In the sensitivity analysis, we calculated between 25,000 and 100,000 tons. Te price of hydrogenperoxide andrecovered carbon fbre are essential variables that have a high efect on the model.FulltextenEnergy consumptionHydrogen peroxideProduction costsRaw material costsRecycled carbon fbreTechnoeconomic analysisRecovery of carbon fibres from aged epoxy matrix composites using H2O2 as an oxidant: A thermodynamic and technoectnomic analysisArticleN/A
