Industrial oil produced from waste rubber recycling
09/06/2008 -- 6:43 PM
Hanoi (VNA) – A research group from the Ministry of Construction’s Building Materials Institute has used waste rubber to produce diesel oil.
The researchers, led by Dr Mai Ngoc Tam, have been conducting a project on thermolysis of rubber to help reduce environmental pollution caused by rubber.
The project uses thermolysis technology to recycle waste rubber, including used bike and motor tires, into industrial oil. One kilo of waste rubber is estimated to turn out 0.4 kg of oil.
The group says results of an analysis of exhaust fumes from the rubber thermolysis furnace of the Institute for Tropical Technology and Environmental Protection have found the fumes do not pollute the environment.
It showed that concentrations of nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide from the furnace meet Vietnam’s standards of atmosphere quality and industrial exhaust fumes.
The research group has agreed to transfer the new technology to the Sai Gon Energy Industry and Environment Joint Stock Company, giving the company a system capable of recycling 200kg of waste rubber per hour.-Enditem
