“…at a slope of 2.5%. This occurred because of the hydrophobic characteristic of tire-derived crumb rubber compared with hydrophilic character of the mineral aggregates, that is, the adhesion between the water molecules and rubber is lower than that of the mineral aggregate since the tire surface includes 62% oil and rubber (58,59). Also, studies showed a water droplet contact angle value of around 93°for tire-derived particles (59) which is higher than the 90°typical contact angle for hydrophobic surfaces, such as alkanes and oils (Figure 13).…”

Water film depth (WFD) is an important factor for road traffic safety because of its direct connection with skid resistance, hydroplaning speed, and the tendency of splash and spray. Increasing the pavement macrotexture reduces WFD. However, existing models for WFD prediction have not been developed on highly textured surfaces such as chip seal. Furthermore, the rainfall intensities used for developing most of these models were relatively low, leaving no or low WFD on chip seal surfaces. To propose a WFD prediction model suitable for highly textured surfaces and to consider the effect of surface material type, an experimental study was conducted with 154 different combinations of mean texture depth (MTD), surface material type, surface slope, drainage length, and rainfall intensity. The tests were carried out on chip seal specimens using a full-scale rainfall simulator. Test results from 1,784 WFD readings indicated that the Gallaway and PAVDRN models were not accurate for highly textured surfaces used in this study with MTD ranging from 0.05 to 0.20 in. Two experimental models were, therefore, proposed to predict the WFD; both models displayed a significantly higher correlation between the measured and predicted WFD compared with the existing models. Furthermore, the eco-friendly rubberized chip seal showed an enhanced drainage capability compared with conventional chip seal, especially in low slopes, because of the hydrophobic nature of crumb rubber versus the hydrophilic character of mineral aggregates. Accordingly, the proposed model incorporated a term to consider the effect of surface material type.

“…Steam gasification of scrap tires was investigated by Molino et al [9], which transforms scrap tire carbons into highly pure, activated carbons using a three-step treatment [10]. An interesting way of using recycled materials from ELVs, thus removing pollutants from the environment, is to use waste scrap tires as adsorbents and in microbial immobilization in order to enhance the bio-removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated water [11].…”

In a global market characterized by the trend of saving non-renewable resources, recycling has become one of the key factors that alleviates the rarity of resources and preserves existing ones. One of the largest industries that consumes natural resources is the automotive industry. This includes not only resource consumption but also the environmental effects of each new unit produced in this industry. As a result, recycling end-of-life vehicles has become an increasingly obvious and widespread concern. This paper proposes a preliminary analysis of the dismantling/recycling activities in Romania compared to other economies (e.g., USA). It aims to determine the impact that dismantling end-of-life vehicles has, according to the legislation in the field, on the economy and the environment. In order to obtain a complete picture, it is obvious that further research is needed.

“… 3 Generally, raw tires consist of around 52% of rubber mixed between synthetic and natural rubber, oil, and organic and non-organic filler. 4 Recently, Li et al 5 reported the fabrication of 3D graphene with an electrical conductivity of 18.26 S/cm from tires using a potassium hydroxide-assisted pyrolysis technique at different temperatures under an argon atmosphere. Bonnia et al 6 fabricated graphene oxide using a modified Hummer’s method followed by thermal exfoliation under nitrogen gas to produce graphene.…”

Fabrication of High Yield Photoluminescent Quantized Graphene Nanodiscs for Supercapacitor Devices

In this work, we produced high yield quantized nitrogen-doped graphene nanodiscs from waste tires via a one-step process under high pressure and temperature using a homemade stainless steel reactor without using any chemical additives. Reaction temperature played a vital role in the preparation process. By increasing the temperature to a level between 600 and 1100 °C, the carbon atoms rearranged themselves to build a mixed graphene structure of nanodiscs and quantum dots. The obtained graphene exhibits excellent capacitance and long life cycle stability as an electrode in supercapacitor devices. The specific capacitance rose to 161.24 F/g with a high power density of 733.3 W/kg, and the energy density reached 27.1 Wh/kg. The finding of this work is not only to provide a solution to get rid of hazardous materials but also to give awareness of turning these hazardous materials into a cost-effective and economical nanomaterial; in another, this approach sheds light on the promising power uses of waste.
