Ziel
SULFREE offers a complete, end-to-end process for ELT recycling, which breaks down tyres to valuable products
that can be reused by the EU tyre industry; instead of merely recycling them either as tyre crumb or as fuel (i.e.
tyres are burned for power production). The recovery of oil and sulphur reduces the dependence on imported
products and lessens the effect of price volatility on tyre production whereas the sulphur-impregnated
activated carbon (S-AC) will aid in reducing mercury emissions.
The project will (a) develop a novel, platform technology implementing a specially designed Fixed Bed Reactor
for the hydrodesulphurisation of the pyrolysis vapour (combined oil and gas fraction), resulting in a gas rich in
hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and oil with sulphur content less than 0.2%, (b) develop a monoethanolamine (MEA)
stripper to capture H2S from the gas and optimize the Claus Process for recovering the sulphur (c) optimize
microwave pyrolysis technology for breaking down end of life tyres and (d) optimize the technology for
activating the solid carbon black. The gas and heat produced during the process will be used for the energy
requirements of the process and for activating the solid carbon black. The major novelty of the process is that
the fixed bed reactor, the MEA stripper and the Claus process will design and operate at a significantly smaller
scale.
