“…The environmental effects of ELV will grow in tandem with the advancement of the automotive sector [16,17]. When abandoned vehicles began to cause considerable problems in European countries (EU), automobile recycling began to gain traction, and this problem was remedied when the crusher machine was built [18][19][20]. This equipment is used to smash the vehicle's hulk in order to retrieve the metal content.…”

An ELV is a vehicle that has reached the end of its service life or service due to age or because it is unable to be used due to a catastrophic accident and high repair costs. The current methods of destroying ELV vehicles are unregistered, disassembly, destruction, and disassembly. Each procedure must adhere to predetermined guidelines. The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey of dietary knowledge about end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in Indonesia. As a result, the purpose of this research is to learn about ELV laws and their implementation in countries that have done so successfully, as well as to learn about public perception of ELV application in Indonesia. A literature search of ELV laws in neighboring countries was conducted, as well as a survey of 98 respondents in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. SPSS was used to analyze the survey results. The questions in this study were divided into four sections: respondents' backgrounds; knowledge of ELV; concerns about ELV; and ELV campaigns. The findings revealed that public awareness of the use of ELV was quite low. In general, it can be concluded that the application of ELV in Indonesia needs to be carefully studied before it is implemented in order for it to be accepted by the public. Additionally, more ELV-related campaigns are required to increase the knowledge and awareness of the Indonesian people.

“…As generally accepted, the reuse of waste products represents an important mission to reduce the environmental burden associated with human activities and to take a step towards material sustainability. As the annual production of tires in the European Union exceeded 5 kilotons [ 1 ], the consequences of waste tires generation may be viewed as a considerable hazard for the present society and natural environment. In this regard, the end-of-life tires (ELTs) pose a serious environmental burden that should be mitigated by suitable reuse strategies leading to the mitigation of side effects accompanied by ELTs landfilling, such as the risk of fires [ 2 ].…”

Environmental Consequences of Rubber Crumb Application: Soil and Water Pollution

End-of-life tires are utilized for various purposes, including sports pitches and playground surfaces. However, several substances used at the manufacture of tires can be a source of concerns related to human health or environment’s adverse effects. In this context, it is necessary to map whether this approach has the desired effect in a broader relation. While the negative effects on human health were investigated thoroughly and legislation is currently being revisited, the impact on aquatic or soil organisms has not been sufficiently studied. The present study deals with the exposure of freshwater and soil organisms to rubber crumb using the analysis of heavy metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations. The obtained results refer to substantial concerns related to freshwater contamination specifically, since the increased concentrations of zinc (7 mg·L−1) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (58 mg·kg−1) inhibit the growth of freshwater organisms, Desmodesmus subspicatus, and Lemna minor in particular. The performed test with soil organisms points to substantial concerns associated with the mortality of earthworms as well. The acquired knowledge can be perceived as a roadmap to a consistent approach in the implementation of the circular economy, which brings with it a number of so far insufficiently described problems.

This study aimed to investigate the synthesis optimization of activated carbon-driven scrap tires for adsorbent yield and methylene blue removal under response surface methodology. The scrap tire sample was activated by KOH using ethanol as a solvent. The optimized activated carbon was characterized using proximate analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) method. The activated carbon was demineralized using 5 M NaOH + 98% H2SO4 (1 : 1) as a solvent to enhance the surface area. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models were used to check the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics was checked using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Weber-Morris intraparticle diffusion model was used to study the diffusion mechanism. The optimum impregnation ratio, impregnation time, and carbonization temperature for synthesizing the activated carbon were 2 g/g, 12 hr, and 700°C, respectively. The moisture content, volatile matter, ash content, fixed carbon, and bulk density of the activated carbon were 6.13%, 9.42%, 5.34%, 79.11%, and 0.89 mg/L, respectively. The surface area of optimized activated carbon was enhanced by demineralization process and increased from 53 m2/g to 260.26 m2/g. Temkin adsorption isotherm with R2 values of 0.982 and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics with R2 values of 0.999 best fits the experimental data respectively. Intraparticle diffusion was not the only rate-controlling step for both optimized and demineralized (NaOH + H2SO4) activated carbon. It can be concluded that the optimized and demineralized activated carbon derived from scrap tires has a promising potential to be used as a low-cost adsorbent in developing countries including Ethiopia. However, further investigation needs to be conducted before scaling up at industrial level.
