Waste tyre rubber – what to do next?

Study On Waste Tyre Rubber As Concrete Aggregates

At present the disposal of waste tyres is becoming a major waste management problem in the world. It is estimated that 1.2 billions of waste tyre rubber produced globally per year. It is estimated that 11% of post consumer tyres are exported and 27% are sent to landfill, stockpiled or dumped illegally and only 4% is used for civil engineering projects. Hence efforts have been taken to identify ...

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Tyre Rubber into Hydrocarbons Via Base Catalysts

The waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. Waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. The effects of basic catalysts (MgO and CaCO3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. The distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with MgO and CaCO3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % r...

Infant pertussis: what to do next?

The resurgence of pertussis during the past 30 years, despite record high immunization rates in infants and children, has led some to label pertussis as the most poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease in the developed world. The high incidence of pertussis disease in infants too young to be immunized, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality, is the driving force behind recent pr...

The distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with MgO and CaCO3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % respectively at 350°C for 2...
