Grant Activity:
Pyrolysed tyre waste (EOLT) char as an additive in polymer composites
Purpose:
Pyrolysis is the main green process to upcycle end-of-life-tyre (EOLT) waste to produce diesel, oil, steel wires while forming char by-products. The resulting pyrolytic tyre char is a carbon-rich solid material that is plagued by inorganic contaminants and undesirable structure, thus considerably decreasing its value and market potential. This project will optimize the particle size surface and functional chemical properties of the EOLT pyrolysis char (EOLT-PC) by fine-tuning the operating conditions of high-performance Vortex systems to enhance its applicability as structural filler or enhancer in polymer composites including rubbers, and epoxy resins.
