RES INST IND SCIENCE & TECH, RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED FOUNDATION, 2004
Method to manufacture carbon molded articles like crucibles using waste tires. The method involves converting the rubber and felt parts of waste tires into carbon powder through carbonization. This carbon powder is mixed with oxidized pitch powder and molded into shapes. The molded pieces are then fired to form carbon molded articles with excellent chemical resistance and erosion resistance. The key is using the rubber and felt from tires instead of expensive mesophase particles or high-cost resins. It leverages the waste tire material to make carbon molded products.
47. Method for Ash Reduction in Carbon Materials via Molten Salt Roasting of Pyrolyzed Polymers
UNIV ZHEJIANG, ZHEJIANG UNIV, 2004
A method to reduce ash content in carbon materials like carbon black by roasting pyrolyzed waste polymers in molten salt. The method involves pyrolyzing waste polymers in an inert atmosphere to produce pyrolyzed carbon. This pyrolyzed carbon is then roasted in molten salt at temperatures around 400°C for 30-200 minutes. The molten salt reacts with the pyrolyzed carbon to remove impurities and ash, leaving behind low ash carbon material. The salt used contains dissolved metal ions that react with the carbon during roasting to form metal oxides. After roasting, the carbon is washed, dried, and crushed to produce the low ash carbon material.
