The safe disposal and reuse of industrial and consumer rubber waste
continues to pose a serious threat to environmental safety and
health, despite the fact that the technology now exits for its
effective recycling and reuse. Mountains of used tires confirm the
belief that chemically crosslinked rubber is one of the most
difficult materials to recycle. That coupled with a long history of
failed attempts to create quality products from crumb rubber has
resulted in such a resistance to new ideas concerning rubber
recycling that very little literature on the subject has even seen
the light of day. Rubber Recycling is one of those rare books that
has the potential to directly impact our ecological well-being. The
editors of this important volume have filled a void in
technological responsibility by bringing together a group of
international experts who, using substantial research evidence,
prove that the utilization of recycled rubber is not just
desirable, but is also quite feasible and profitable. This text
provides a thorough overview of the fundamentals of rubber and the
challenges of recycling. However, the heart of the book lies in its
detailed explanation of the various processes currently available
to breakdown, recycle, and reuse crosslinked rubber. These include
-- -Unconventional polymer recycling -High-pressure,
high-temperature sintering -Ultrasonic and non ultrasonic
devulcanization -The use of tire particles as replacement
aggregates for low-strength concrete material -The utilization of
powdered rubber waste in the production of rubber compounds -The
future potential for recycling waste rubber by blending it with
waste plastics Never forgetting that these technologies
aremeaningless without industry participation, the book concludes
with a highly practical discussion on how present market demands
can be met with recycled rubber.
