Title: Oxidative decoupling mechanisms of monomer recovery from waste tires via partial supercritical water oxidation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:430482

Ground waste tires can be oxidatively decomposed into recoverable useful chemical species via a controlled, partial supercritical water oxidation. The process feasibility has been demonstrated using a 1-liter semi-batch supercritical water oxidation system that is fabricated of Hastelloy C-276. The typical operating conditions are 370-400{degrees}C and 220-260 atm. The products include C{sub 1}-C{sub 10} hydrocarbons, including isoprene, the monomer of natural rubber. Possible oxidative decoupling mechanisms for the recovery of monomer and preliminary process engineering results are presented in this paper.
