| Description |
The numerous previous attempts to commercialize
pyrolysis of scrap rubber and other carbonaceous materials have been
unsuccessful because of lack of market demand for the crude raw pyrosates;
pyro-oil, pyrogas, and pyro-char. Ongoing tests at the Svedala Pyro Systems
Inc. Process Research & Test Center and the recent comprehensive Joint
Highway Research Project (3 volumes) in cooperation with US Dept. of
Transportation FHA, the Indiana Dept. of Transportation and Purdue University
are discussed. These test results verify the proprietary processing of the raw
pyro-char into an upgraded homogenous pyrolyzed carbon black (CBp) as a viable,
value-added asphalt modifier. Commercial carbon black was used as control.
Specifically, test results show that CBp contents of 10% to 15% by weight of
asphalt produce a number of significant improvements.
