DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION OF SCRAP TIRES

DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION WAS DENOMSTRATED TO BE A TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE METHOD OF DISPOSING OF AND OBTAINING POTENTIALLY VALUABLE PRODUCTS FROM SCRAP AUTOMOBILE AND TRUCK TIRES. THE BUREAU OF MINES CONDUCTED TESTS UNDER A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS. SOLID, LIQUID, AND GASEOUS PRODUCTS WERE PRODUCED, RECOVERED, AND ANALYZED. THE QUANTITIES OF THE VARIOUS PRODUCTS WERE SHOWN TO BE QUITE DEPENDENT ON THE TEST TEMPERATURE. VARIABILITY IN COMPOSITION OF THE LIQUID AND GASEOUS PRODUCTS WITH CHANGES IN TEST TEMPERATURE WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANT. /AUTHOR/
