Scientists Find Multiple New Uses For Worn-Out Tires

ep is to produce enough quantities of tire-derived activated carbon for pilot-scale testing to show that this material works under actual industrial test conditions," Rostam-Abadi said. "This is what we are doing now."

Activated carbon is commonly produced from carbonaceous materials such as wood and coal. With its high carbon content and plentiful supply, "tire rubber could potentially serve as an ideal material for making low-cost adsorbents," Rood said. "In addition, almost 70 percent of tire rubber is volatile material that can be recovered as oils and gases and used as an energy source for processing the tires."

The researchers presented their findings in the November issue of the journal Energy and Fuels.
