An Environmental Assessment of Biorefining of Rubber Dandelion to Rubber and Bioplastic Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The pyrolysis study of polybutadiene rubber under different structural and process parameters : comparison with polyvinyl chloride degradation Universiteit Gent
Abrasion resistance of sustainable green concrete containing waste tire rubber particles KU Leuven
The development of new environmental friendly concretes such as rubberized concrete is being promoted due to the environmental problems created by the waste tire rubber. Every year millions of tires are discarded, thrown away or buried all over the world, representing a very serious threat to the ecology. In this study, we analyse the potential of waste tire rubber particles as a partial substitute for fine aggregates in normal strength and high ...
Microstructural examination and potential application of rendering mortars made of tire rubber and expanded polystyrene wastes Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
This paper studies the microstructure and potential application of rendering mortars containing tire rubber and expanded polystyrene wastes. The mortars were scanned at the Centre for X-ray Tomography (UGCT-Ghent University) and the mu CT images were studied using 3D analysis software package Octopus. The samples' porosity increased due to the incorporation of the wastes and particularly, expanded polystyrene. Optical microscopy (thin sections) ...
Stabilization of expansive soil using tire rubber powder and cement kiln dust Universiteit Gent
There are different techniques to stabilize and improve the properties of soils with low shear strength, bearing capacity and other swelling parameters. This study includes the chemical analysis of expansive soils using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before and after the stabilization using tire rubber powder (TRP) and cement kiln dust (CKD) in order to evaluate the geotechnical properties. Test results indicate ...
Does the wet addition of crumb rubber and emission reduction agents impair the rheological performance of bitumen? Universiteit Antwerpen
Crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) is a promising solution for recycling waste tyres and improving asphalt performance. Nonetheless, higher temperatures are usually required during mixing, which increases the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can potentially cause harmful health effects on workers due to their toxic and carcinogenic properties. Emission reduction agents (ERAs) have been developed to address this issue. ...
Microstructural and rheological analysis of crumb rubber modified bitumen Universiteit Antwerpen
The crumb rubber (CR) from end-of-life tyres has become a common additive to bitumen due to its capacity to improve the mechanical properties of bituminous binders in terms of high-temperature stability. This study aims to investigate the influence of adding CR into a bituminous binder using the wet process by relating the microstructural characterisation with its rheological properties. The impact of the mixing conditions, and percentage of the ...
A New Value Chain for Rubber and Inulin Production in the European Bio-Economy Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Slurry Spreading on a Silt Loam Soil: Influence of Tyre Inflation Pressure, Number of Passages, Machinery Choice and Tillage Method on Physical Soil Quality and Sugar Beet Growth Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent
Soil compaction forms a major threat to the well-functioning of agricultural soils. This threat is primarily driven by the increasing wheel loads of modern farming machinery and the increased frequency of field operations in periods when the soil is moist to wet and thus more prone to compaction. The application of slurry in early spring can have a highly detrimental impact, certainly for a crop like sugar beet, which is sensitive to soil ...
