RECOVERY OF TIRES WASTE THROUGH THERMAL CRACKING

Abstract

The article addresses a topic of global interest related to the recovery of rubber waste. In the context of the increase in the demand for tires worldwide, the concern for the management of used tires by introducing them into the economy is legitimate. The research proposes thermal cracking as a recycling method for used tires. Through the thermal conversion process at a temperature of 500ºC and a pressure of 40 bar, gaseous and liquid fuel products as well as a solid residue are obtained.
