 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'SULFREE offers a complete, end-to-end process for ELT recycling, which breaks down tyres to valuable products that can be reused by the EU tyre industry; instead of merely recycling them either as tyre crumb or as fuel (i.e. tyres are burned for power production). The recovery of oil and sulphur reduces the dependence on imported products and lessens the effect of price volatility on tyre production whereas the sulphur-impregnated activated carbon (S-AC) will aid in reducing mercury emissions.

The project will (a) develop a novel, platform technology implementing a specially designed Fixed Bed Reactor for the hydrodesulphurisation of the pyrolysis vapour (combined oil and gas fraction), resulting in a gas rich in hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and oil with sulphur content less than 0.2%, (b) develop a monoethanolamine (MEA) stripper to capture H2S from the gas and optimize the Claus Process for recovering the sulphur (c) optimize microwave pyrolysis technology for breaking down end of life tyres and (d) optimize the technology for activating the solid carbon black. The gas and heat produced during the process will be used for the energy requirements of the process and for activating the solid carbon black. The major novelty of the process is that the fixed bed reactor, the MEA stripper and the Claus process will design and operate at a significantly smaller scale.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Close to 6 million tonnes of used tyres have been illegally dumped or landfilled. An innovative and cost-effective recycling process that yields high-end products will increase the competitiveness of the tyre reclamation industry and encourage recycling.
