Abstract
Processing fiber-reinforced composite to recover continuous reinforcing fibers in a continuous form. The processing includes first treating the composite with a normally-liquid first solvent for material of the matrix followed by removal of the first solvent from the first solid residue including reinforcing fibers. The removal of the first solvent from the continuous reinforcing fibers may heating the fibers and/or second treating the first solid residue with a normally-gaseous material contacted with the solid residue under conditions of temperature and pressure at which the normally-gaseous material is in a liquid or supercritical fluid form. The processing may be performed in a continuous manner to recover the continuous reinforcing fibers in a continuous form.
