Production of pyrolytic carbon from waste of rubber-containing products for use in foundry by A. S. Panasyugin, V. S. Niss, N. P. Masherova

“…It has been established that the process of gas phase evolution during rubber pyrolysis proceeds in the temperature range of 50–550 °C, the maximum release peaks for all detected substances are in the range of 375–500 °C, the total release is over 140 mg per kg of feedstock. It was found that the concentration and temperature of the exhaust gases make it possible to neutralize them in an autocatalytic mode using the principle of filtration combustion. …”
