Carbon black used tires

项目摘要

Used tires occupy considerable space in landfills, especially tires from mining trucks, which are greater than 2 m in diameter. Titan Tire Reclamation Corporation (TTRC) has developed a unique environmental solution to process giant scrap mining tires that have been accumulating in Alberta's Oil Sands. When tires can no longer be repaired, they are fed to a Thermal Vacuum Recovery unit in which they are subject to a proprietary process that breaks the tires down into their key components. The products from this process include carbon black, low carbon fuel oil, and steel. The first product can be recycled for tire production provided that the recovered carbon black has the same properties as virgin carbon black material. In this project, Professor Josephine Hill will work with TTRC to assess the properties of the recovered carbon black produced in their vacuum recovery process. ****Professor Hill's group has extensive experience with carbon-based materials. They will evaluate the properties of the virgin and recovered carbon black materials. Based on the characterization results and small scale tests, they will make recommendations for adjustments to the recovery process in order to meet the required specifications for the carbon black. In this way, TTRC will be able to realize a circular economy with its tires, resulting in lower amounts of waste, greenhouse gas reductions, a sustainable solution for spent scrap mining tires, and economic development.****

废旧轮胎在垃圾填埋场占据相当大的空间，特别是矿用卡车的轮胎，其直径大于2 m。泰坦轮胎回收公司 (TTRC) 开发了一种独特的环保解决方案来处理阿尔伯塔省油砂中堆积的巨型采矿废轮胎。当轮胎无法再修复时，它们会被送入热真空回收装置，在该装置中经过专有工艺将轮胎分解成关键部件。该工艺的产品包括炭黑、低碳燃料油和钢材。第一种产品可以回收用于轮胎生产，前提是回收的炭黑具有与原始炭黑材料相同的性能。在这个项目中，Josephine Hill 教授将与 TTRC 合作，评估真空回收过程中产生的回收炭黑的特性。 ****Hill 教授的团队在碳基材料方面拥有丰富的经验。他们将评估原始和回收炭黑材料的性能。根据表征结果和小规模测试，他们将提出调整回收工艺的建议，以满足炭黑所需的规格。通过这种方式，TTRC 将能够利用其轮胎实现循环经济，从而减少废物量、减少温室气体排放、为废旧采矿轮胎提供可持续的解决方案并促进经济发展。****
