Extraction of The Micronutrient Zinc From Pyrolytic Carbon Black and Obtaining Zinc Humate

Abstract

In parallel with the increasing tyre production in the world, the amount of scrap tyres is also increasing. Within the scope of scrap tyre management, studies aimed at preventing the accumulation of tyres that threaten the world in terms of human health and the environment can be briefly defined as 5R, including recycling, reuse, recovery, regeneration, reclaim. All available methods have not yet brought the accumulation of scrap tyres under control. In this study, to avoid the bottlenecks encountered in the recycling of scrap tyres by pyrolysis method, the production of refined carbon black with higher commercial value by refining pyrolytic carbon black and fertilizer production from the refining process, which has a large market in the agricultural sector, was investigated. This study reveals an important method to prevent the accumulation of scrap tyres by increasing the interest in pyrolysis plants.
