Activation of waste tire pyrolysed char

废旧轮胎材料是一个主要的环境问题。我们的社会产生的东西超过了回收的能力，剩余物被储存、掩埋或焚烧为燃料，导致越来越多的环境、经济和健康问题。考虑到这一点，RIPP资源回收公司专注于提供先进的环境解决方案，通过最大限度地减少碳足迹，同时最大限度地为社会带来好处。在过去的几年里，Ripp开发了一种专利工艺，它使用的能源比生产原始炭黑或燃烧轮胎产生的能量要少得多。这个过程会产生气体、石油、碳黑和钢铁。所有这些材料都非常适用于橡胶或塑料行业的供暖、发电、汽油原料和炭黑来源等应用。Ripp和渥太华大学的Murugesu博士建立了一个新的合作关系，他们的目标是以受控的方式生产高度多孔的活性炭。本研究的目的是通过改变温度和活化介质来优化焦炭的孔隙率，以生产出适用于空气或/和水净化的高孔率的活性焦炭。这项工作的结果将为RIPP带来新的市场机会，不仅在安大略省，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.
