Scrap Tyre Management Pathways and Their Use as a Fuel—A Review

Abstract:This article provides a review of different methods for managing waste tyres. Around 1.5 billion scrap tyres make their way into the environmental cycle each year, so there is an extreme demand to manage and mitigate the environmental impact which occurs from landfilling and burning. Numerous approaches are targeted to recycle and reuse the tyre rubber in various applications. Among them, one of the most important methods for sustainable environmental stewardship is converting tyre rubber components into bio-oil. In this study, scrap tyre management techniques including landfill, retreading, recycling, combustion, and conversion to liquid fuels was reviewed (including gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction, and pyrolysis). The effects of parameters such as reactor types, pyrolysis temperature, and catalyst on the oil, gas and solid products in pyrolysis process were investigated.

“…In some situations use of tire derived materials may provide greater economy than those materials traditionally used. Various researchers have carried out investigations on the usage of scrap tire derived materials in civil engineering applications like recycled tire chips as a fill material in road/ embankment construction [6][7][8], lightweight fill material in retaining wall backfill under static loading conditions [2][3][4][5], and waste tire shreds as a leachate collection layer [9,10]. Several researchers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] have evaluated the engineering properties of the scrap tire chips and sand tire chip mixtures by conducting permeability, compressibility, large direct shear tests, and triaxial tests on the samples.…”

This paper presents studies on use of recycled tire shreds in sand-tire chips (STC) mixture for retaining wall applications. Small-scale physical model tests were performed on rigid retaining wall with different STC mixtures. Rigid retaining wall model of 600 mm height was constructed in a Perspex container. The wall was made with hollow rectangular steel sections. STC mixtures with different tire chips proportions, such as 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 % along with pure sand were considered as backfill materials. Static surcharge load, up to 10 kPa, was applied using concrete blocks. Model wall behaviour in terms of displacements and earth pressures has been discussed for sand alone (control case) and STC mixtures as backfill materials. The experimental results indicate that the horizontal displacements and lateral earth pressures are reduced to about 50-60 % of that of control case by using STC mixtures which functioned as light weight backfill materials.

“…There have been many documented applications in which TDA lightweight fill has been used as part of embankments on soft soils (Humphrey et al 1998;Bosscher et al 1997;Yoon et al 2006), landslide repair (Ahn et al 2015) or wall backfill (Lee et al 1999;Xiao et al 2013). …”

Abstract.A case-history is reported in which tire derived aggregate (TDA) was successfully applied to reduce the weight of fill upon a cut-and-cover railway tunnel. Subsequent 3D numerical analyses are used to explore the effect of different assumptions about the constitutive model of the TDA material. Alternative dispositions of TDA around the tunnel section are also examined. Reductions of up to 60% in lining bending moment may be achieved. For the case analyzed the elastic description of the TDA has little influence on tunnel lining loads, although is important for fill settlement estimates.
