Activation of waste tire pyrolysed char

废旧轮胎材料是一个重大的环境问题。我们的社会产生的东西超过了它可以回收的量，剩菜被储存、掩埋或燃烧作为燃料，导致环境、经济和健康问题日益增加。考虑到这一点，RIPP资源回收公司将注意力集中在提供先进的环境解决方案，最大限度地减少碳足迹，同时最大限度地为社会带来利益。在过去的几年里，RIPP开发了一种专利工艺，该工艺使用的能源比生产原始炭黑或燃烧轮胎产生的能源少得多。这个过程产生气体、石油、炭黑和钢。所有这些材料都是非常理想的应用，例如：加热，发电，汽油原料和橡胶或塑料工业中的炭黑来源。沿着他们的目标是以可控的方式生产高度多孔的活性炭，RIPP和渥太华大学的Murugesu博士之间建立了新的合作关系。本研究的目的是优化炭的孔隙率，通过改变温度和活化介质来制备适用于空气或/和水净化的高孔隙率活性炭。这项工作的成果将为RIPP带来新的市场机会，不仅在安大略，而且在北美。

Scrap tire material is a major environmental problem. Our society generates more than it can recycle, and leftovers are stockpiled, buried, or burned for fuel, resulting in increasing environmental, economical and health concerns. With this in mind, RIPP Resource Recovery Corporation has focused their attention on offering advanced environmental solutions by minimizing carbon footprint while maximizing benefits to society. During the last few years RIPP has developed a patented process that utilizes significantly less energy than the production of virgin carbon black or burning tires to generate energy. This process produces gases, oil, carbon black and steel. All of these materials are highly desirable for applications such as: heating, power generation, gasoline feedstock and carbon black source in the rubber or plastic industries. Along with their targets of producing highly porous activated char in a controlled manner, a new collaboration between RIPP and Dr. Murugesu at the University of Ottawa has been established. The goal of this research is to optimize the porosity of char, through varying temperature and activation medium to produce highly porous activated char suitable for air or/and water purification. The outcome of this work will lead to new market opportunities for RIPP not only in Ontario but also in North America.
