最新的研究可能会让旧轮胎有一个有益在环保的重生。
设在卡塔尔的得克萨斯农工年夜学(Texas A&M University)分校的一个由哈桑·巴兹(Hassan S.Bazzi)率领的科研小组,可能已想出了一个用生物降解材料制造轮胎的方式。假如他们的创意可行,或许能帮忙处理全球每一年报废的年夜约10亿个轮胎所带来的各类问题。几十年来,烧毁的橡胶轮胎一向充溢着填埋场并让情况学家感应头疼。例如,到今朝为止还不清晰轮胎降解需要多长时候。就算它们终究能够降解,轮胎中含有的一些无害化学物资也会渗透泥土。得克萨斯农工年夜学的研究人员熟悉到,他们能够将环戊烯份子(一种炼油的副产物)用作制����APP造聚戊烯橡胶(polypentenamer)的单体,这类橡胶近似在自然橡胶。他们正在进行实验,研究新型合成橡胶是不是能够与现今用在制造轮胎的其他材料与填料夹杂。假如可行,研究人员也许可以或许发现一种和今朝轮胎中所用的合成材料一样坚忍的新型橡胶,但同时很轻易进行生物降解和再操纵。该项目标首席科学家之一罗伯特·图巴(Robert Tuba)暗示,他们的方针是缔造一种“对社区和情况都有益处”的材料。研究人员们说,他们已有一个财产合作火伴,并但愿用生物降解橡胶制造的轮胎终究能上路行驶。Riding on biodegradable rubber tires?New research may give old tires a new, environmentally-friendly future.A research team led by Hassan S. Bazzi, at the Texas A&M University campus in Qatar may have come up with a way to make tires with biodegradable materials. If they are right, they might be able to help solve the myriad problems that come with the estimated 1 billion tires that wear out each year worldwide.Leftover rubber tires have been the bane of landfills — and environmentalists — for decades. It’s unclear, for example, how long it takes for tires to decompose. And if they do eventually decompose, the tires contain some nasty chemicals that can leach into the soil.The Texas A&M researchers realized they could string cyclopentene molecules — a byproduct of oil refining — together to make polypentenamers, which are similar to natural rubber.They are conducting experiments to see if the new synthetic rubber can be mixed with other materials and fillers that go into the modern tire.If it works, the researchers might be able to create a new kind of rubber that is as strong as synthetics that are used in current tires, but that is easy to biodegrade and reuse.Robert Tuba, one of the lead researchers on the project, says the goal was to create something “that is good for the community and the environment.” The researchers say they have an industry partner and hope the biodegradable rubber will eventually hit the road.转自:橡胶手艺网,橡胶行业门户网站!
