Plasma-chemical waste processing: numerical analysis and experiment. Part 3. Rubber of used tires

  • Published:
Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Here we present the results of thermodynamic and kinetic calculations as well as experimental studies of plasma processing of rubber powder of recycled tires, demonstrating the promise of using the plasma-chemical technology for gasification of this powder with the production of energy gas. The results of experiment and calculations were compared and showed good agreement.
