Recycling of rubber wastes by devulcanization
Abstract
Waste tires management is an environmental problem and a technological challenge. The best way to eliminate the rubber wastes is through recycling by devulcanization. Thermomechanical devulcanization is the most suitable industrial method. Combining scCO2 with thermomechanical treatment promotes the recycling of rubbers.
