Abstract
Description
Carbon black (CB) is a very important material useful for various modern
applications. There are a lot of attention currently on the extraction of a form of
CB obtainable from waste tyres which is usually referred to as pyrolytic Carbon
black (CBp). The authors investigated the pyrolysis process of a pyrolytic furnace
built for the production of CBp using the thermal numerical principles to
standardise the application. SolidWorks@ Flow Simulation software was used to
replicate the process by supplying the initial conditions, the boundary conditions
and the operating conditions guided by the numerical analysis. The simulated
behaviour of the furnace was validated by the real-life experiments performed to
produce CBp from the waste tyre.
