Reusing of waste plastics and end of life tires for manufacture of bitumen-like materials and heavy fuels

The method of waste plastics and end of life tires cracking was proposed and tested for producing bitumen-like materials and heavy fuels. Under conditions of high pressures and temperatures in an extrusion-type reactor, the formation of bitumen-like products heavy fuels was shown.

In traditional extrusion one can see the simply changing of form — no chemical change.

Possible products made from waste plastics and organic substances by reaction extrusion

  • Copolymers for machinery and chemistry
  • Raw for bitumens and asphalt roads
  • Synthetic petroleum as a raw for petrochemistry and heavy fuels.
