Experimental simulation of power performances of tyre pyrolysis

Abstract

Microwave techniques for tyre treatment possesses a number of advantages: reduced treatment time, reduced temperature conditions, high dynamics of temperature control. The microwave effect is more efficient, as against HF-heating (wavelengths 1 - 100 m). The microwave treatment has a high thermal action process speed. It is much higher than HF heating due to the use of electromagnetic field energy. Results of the research show that a power installation for tyre pyrolysis should provide an energy density not less than 30-50 W/cm/sup 2/. In order to keep the efficiency maximal, it is necessary to remove dross from the rubber surface.
