Abstract The tyre remanufacturing industries are facing quality and performance issues of the remanufactured tyres as they have developed their own retreading methods due to lack standardized process guidelines. This study focuses on identifying challenges process, highlighting various defects in retread causes so that could be mitigated improved. To achieve objectives study, tools including fi...

This study aims to determine the influence of the substitution of a variable volume of aggregates on a concrete by an equivalent quantity of crumb rubber (CR) obtained from used tyres. The physical and mechanical properties of different concretes, which were developed through laboratory tests, have been studied for this goal. The experimental method employed is based on the production of a refe...

Thermo-chemical conversion of carbonaceous wastes such as tyres, plastics, biomass and crude glycerol is a promising technology compared to traditional waste treatment options ( e.g. incineration landfill).

Fatal accidents during winter time in Sweden are to a large extent due to vehicle spinning. Therefore, it is crucial to analyse and compare vehicle/tyre performance on slippery roads with respect to oversteering. We have performed experimental tests to compare the stability performance of various winter tyres on ice, with and without an electronic stability system (ESC). Two different test meth...

Laboratory and field evaluations of Bt.H-14 granule formulation were carried out against Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and dengue haemmorhagic fever in Delhi, India. The results of laboratory evaluation revealed 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae @ 0.5 gm/m2 within 24 hours of exposure in enamel trays. The field evaluation revealed that biolarvicide @ 0.5 gm/m2 provided an effective c...

Pyrolysis of polymeric wastes, including waste plastic bottles, discarded rubber tyres and pure water sachets, is one the environmental-friendly processes for valorization. However, continuous effort must be made to reduce cost implication pyrolysis process in terms time, money energy requirement. Based on this premise, study examined justification regarding heat absorption rate product yield, ...
