Can recycled carbon black be used in New rubber products?

This study assesses the potential use of recycled carbon black (rCB) generated from the waste rubber pyrolysis process as a substitute for conventional carbon black series N330 (CB) in new rubber products. The rCB and conventional CBs were characterized to find elemental constituents present.

Why should chemical industry use sustainable carbonaceous raw materials?

The use of sustainable carbonaceous raw materials by the chemical industry can bring a new evolutive step in chemistry related to the circular economy and the green chemistry principles, under the premises of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Can natural rubber be used as a renewable carbon source?

Scientific Reports 10, Article number: 12977 ( 2020 ) Cite this article This study is the first report on the preparation of mesoporous carbon/silica (MCS) nanocomposites with tunable mesoporosity and hydrophobicity using natural rubber (NR) as a renewable and cheap carbon source.

What are carbonaceous sustainable materials?

For a didactical purpose, we can consider as carbonaceous sustainable materials those derived from biomass, carbon dioxide (CO 2) and recyclable materials as sources of raw materials for industrial purposes. Fig. 2 depicts this definition.

Is recycled rubber a sustainable material?

Thanks to the intensified efforts in environmental regulations and the growing awareness of resource recycling, recycled rubber (RR) has been favored as a sustainable material (Tang et al., 2017). RR has found innovative and extensive applications in rubber products.

Why is recycling rubber a valuable resource?

The vast amount of waste rubber represents a potentially precious carbon-rich resource, and the material obtained by recycling rubber products is increasingly used as valuable raw material [ 7 ].
