Review: Rubber wastes are chemically cross-linked rubbers and are among the most difficult materials to recycle. Recycling can generally be achieved by: size reduction and the production of powders; devulcanization and reclaiming; and the recovery of chemicals and energy. This book highlights the problems in recycling vulvanized rubbers and gives some likely solutions to these problems. Each chapter has been written by an expert on the topic. There are chapters on: manufacturing crumb rubber material from tyres; the quality of tyre-derived materials; treated and untreated rubber powder; mechanochemical processing; high-pressure high-temperature sintering; powdered rubber waste in rubber compounds; blending rubber with plastics; reusing rubber tyres; ultrasonic devulcanization; chemical and thermomechanical devulcanization; converting tyres to carbon black and oil by pyrosis; and the market for scrap tyres and recycled rubber.
