Scrap Tire Pyrolysis Residue Upgraded by CBp Europe Patented Technology Shows Cost Reduction Potentials for Replacing or Blending with Carbon Black
Independent tests by Akron Rubber Development Laboratory confirms that the generic CBp process successfully upgrades raw pyro-carbon residue (char) into cost-competitive grades of black reinforcing fillers that can be reused in rubber manufacturing for replacing or blending with carbon blacks and as an asphalt modifier. The reinforcing properties are related to the quality of the raw heterogenous pyro-char.However, in every case the tensile properties were always better than N-900 series carbon blacks. On CBp controlled runs tensile strengths exceeded N-600 carbon blacks in tests by BFGoodrich and Metso Minerals. The patented CBp technology was introduced at the Carbon Black 1996 World Conference "A Black Filler for Rubber Prepared from Tire Pyrolysis Char" by William Klingensmith and Michael Beck of Polymer Valley Chemical Inc as an economical solution necessary to commercialise pyrolysis of scrap rubber. Reinforcement qualities were presented equivalant to carbon blacks with particle sizes at 0.05 to 0.10 microns.
The initial market demand for CBpCarbon was estimated at 50,000 tons per year without considering additional marketing and the tire and asphalt markets for CBpCarbon products. Since then many successful CBp upgrading tests were integrated with other pyrolysis technologies by CBp post-treatment of the raw non-commercial pyrosates; including ABB, now Alstom, Metso Minerals, Surface Combustion, Unisphere, Beven, Titan Technologies, ECO2, GWES, Coalite, etc.US EPA report, Markets for Scrap Tires, states in Section 8 on pyrolysis: "Pyrolysis units are expected to have minimal air pollution impacts" but adds: "If markets for char cannot be developed, the char becomes a major solid waste problem". The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)describes carbon black as an important ingredient in nearly all rubber products to improve properties such as tensile, wear resistance and modulus. Scrap tires and rubber can contain 25% to 35% carbon black. According to the Freedonia reports the global demand for carbon black will grow 3.4% yearly through 2006 to 8.7 million metric tonnes.
A modular 4000 per day passenger tire equivelant pyrolysis plant can produce 3500 tonnes of CBpCarbon per year or less than 0.05 percent of the present carbon black market, allowing for major niche product market growth potential. The surplus of regional scrap tire pyrolysis feedstock is not subject to the volatility of the imported oil presently used to manufacture carbon blacks. This can permit stable long term price guarantees.
In earlier tests, reinforcing fillers were also obtained by CBp upgrading pyrolysed automotive shredder residue, often referred by industry as "ASR" or "fluff". General Motors provided 40 tonnes of this raw pyrolysed ASR material for these tests in co-operation by the Vehicle Recycling Partnership, USCAR(General Motors, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler).Tests by the Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue University sponsored by the US Department of Transportation show cost-benefit application potentials for improving rutting resistance by asphalt modification using the CbpCarbon products.
A summary of this extensive testing and potentials for using scrap tire and ASR derived CBpCarbon reinforcing fillers for asphalt modification is planned for the Second Rubber Modified Asphalt Conference sponsored by the RMA and American Chemical Society Rubber Division in San Antonio May 18-19, 2005.
Recycling is an increasingly important issue confronting the auto industry. The European Union will require by January 2006 that 85% of every vehicle be recycled.
In France, the creation of Aliapur with eleven rubber tire manufacturers demonstrates this Group's determination to pursue an active policy of recycling end-of-life tires (ELT). Efforts aimed at requiring manufacturers to increase recycling responsibilities and End-Of-Life Vehicles (ELV) programs are under way in the U.S.
as well. The CBp patented technology is a breakthrough allowing the potential for plastic, rubber and automobile industries to meet these recycling objectives..

Your Quick And Easy Guide To Car Maintenance
Cars are like electric lights. We often don't appreciate them until they go on the blink. Regular maintenance checks and simple service can greatly reduce the cost of car ownership and keep you a much happier traveler!Don't let the thought of car maintenance intimidate you. There are actually several car maintenance tips you can do ? even if you're totally mechanically-challenged!For instance, you'll want to keep your windshield washer fluid reservoir full. This involves screwing off the cap and pouring windshield wiper fluid in the right spot.
You can quickly check the fluid levels when filling up at the gas station.While you've got the windshield washer fluid out, pour some on a rag and clean the bug guts, etc. off the wiper blades.If you see any colored fluid leaking from your car, get it serviced immediately.If you smell any peculiar odor coming from your car, take it to the nearest service station. Odors mean something inappropriate is going on under the hood of your car...

Workings Of A Motorcycle Muffler Suspension
Motorcycles are becoming more popular because of its convenience and relatively inexpensive cost compared to automobiles. They are capable of the same speeds as cars and can also be licensed for use on public highways.Owners and drivers of motorcycles opt for these motorized, two-wheeled vehicles as transportation because aside from it being an inexpensive alternative to cars, they can be easily maneuvered and they deliver higher fuel economy. In addition, they take less space for parking. No wonder a lot of Asian countries have more motorcycles than cars.And for drivers who love speed, motorcycles are great vehicles because they can accelerate more quickly than an automobile. Nevertheless, motorcycles are not for everybody.
Riding and controlling this vehicle requires skill and extra caution especially during difficult maneuverings on wet or slick surfaces.But when you do get the urge to ride a motorcycle, you would want to learn a lot of information on the vehicle, like "Where...

Jogging Stroller Safety Tips
Strollers offer a wonderful and convenient service to parents and caregivers.
The first priority in choosing a stroller should be safety.
To prevent tipping, choose a stroller that has a wide base so even when your child leans over there is no chance of the stroller tipping.
If you purchase a stroller that includes a recliner position check the stroller to make sure the stroller does not fall over backwards when the child reclines.
Remember to use the stroller seat belt at all times.
If your stroller has a basket, use that for purses and bags rather than hanging these items over the handles.
The basket on your stroller should be placed over the rear tires.
To prevent accidental folding of the stroller always use the locking device.
The brakes are used to limit the rotation of the tires when the stroller is at a complete stop.
Make sure you do not accidentally pinch your...
