Environmental and social awareness are the key elements of the sustainable tire industry. End-of-life tire (ELT) waste flow is an important environmental problem worldwide since it produces severe air, water, and soil pollution issues. Significant advancements have been made in ELT management in the last few years. As a result, ELTs should not only be regarded as waste but also as a source of environmentally friendly materials. Besides, sound ELT management has vital importance for circular economy and sustainable development. Over the last decade, ELT management has attracted many researchers and practitioners. Unfortunately, a comprehensive review of the ELT management area is still missing. This study presents the first critical review of the whole ELT management area. It aims to present an extensive content analysis overview of state-of-the-art research, provide its critical analysis, highlight major gaps, and propose the most significant research directions. A total of 151 peer-reviewed studies published in the journals between 2010–2020 are collected, analyzed, categorized, and critically reviewed. This review study redounds comprehensive insights, a valuable source of references, and major opportunities for researchers and practitioners interested in not only ELT material flow but also the whole waste management area.

Kinetic Modeling of Biomass Gasification in the Reduction Zone Using Various Gasification Agents

The depletion of fossil fuels and global warming have incentivized research into alternative and ecologically benign fuels. Among the most promising options being investigated is the production of hydrogen from biomass. This work investigated the kinetic modeling of the reduction zone for hydrogen production from a wide range of biomass types and conducted a theoretical comparison between various gasification agents (air, steam, and air/steam). The proposed model helps to ascertain the best biomass and agent for attaining the highest hydrogen yield and the lowest environmental contamination in terms of detrimental CO 2 emissions. The results show that steam gasification of plastic provides the highest hydrogen yield and that rubber could be considered the most environmentally friendly biomass.

“…Thus, using a chemical equilibrium model to simulate the downdraft fixed bed gasification process will produce large errors [17]. To control the simulation errors, a combined model of the chemical equilibrium and the kinetics control reactions is widely used for the fixed bed gasification process simulation [3,27,28]. Although the combined model has been successfully used for wood and animal manure gasification simulation, no study has used it for poultry gasification simulation to date [15].…”

“…f is the scaling exponent with the data resources shown in Table 3 [42][43][44]. The reference cost of the dried poultry prepare equipment is the same as that of wood prepare, which is 5.23 k$, while the reference cost of fixed bed gasifier and cleaning equipment is 19.07 k$ according to our previous publication [3]. Total overnight cost (TOC) is expressed in 2017 dollars that does not include escalation or interest during construction.…”

“…Due to the cost and environmental problem of waste disposal and the need for more energy, growing attention has been paid to biomass gasification of converting the energy in waste material into electricity with high efficiency [1]. Even though the gasification technology of solid waste such as municipal solid waste (MSW) [2], waste tire [3], and plant waste [4,5] has been widely studied, its application in meat waste management is still limited. The meat waste of animal carcasses that have been exposed to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is dangerous for human health and environment compared with other solid waste as a result of its potential of spread diseases, low decomposition, and appeal to scavenging animals [6].…”

Clean Poultry Energy System Design Based on Biomass Gasification Technology: Thermodynamic and Economic Analysis

et al. 2019

Despite growing attention has been paid to waste material gasification for high-efficiency energy conversion, the application of gasification technology in meat waste management is still limited. To fill this gap, this study designed two systems which evaluated the potential of using gasification technology to manage the poultry waste that has been exposed to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Two systems are simulated by using Aspen plus combined with a one-dimensional kinetics control gasification model, and wood or dried poultry is selected as the feedstock for the gasifier. The results show that the energy efficiency of the poultry drying system (wood gasification) is 14.5%, which is 12% lower than that of the poultry gasification system when the poultry energy is accounted as energy input. Even though the economic analysis indicates the poultry elimination cost of the poultry gasification system is only 30 $/tonne lower than the poultry drying system, taking the absence of dried poultry burial into consideration, the poultry gasification system has development potentials. The sensitivity analysis shows that labor fee and variable factor has larger effects on the poultry elimination cost, while the uncertainty analysis determines the uncertainty level of the economic analysis results.
