2. Overview Used Tires Problem (1 – 6) Technology (7-13) Final Disintegration Products (14-18) THE CLEARING WATER AREAS FROM PETROLEUM PRODUCTS WITH APPLICATION OF CHEPULIS` POWDER (19) Variants of a raw rubber. ( CHEPULIS` TECHNOLOGY ). (20-28)

3. Situational Analyzes Global Problem. The quantity of Post - Consumer tyres much more exceeds quantity of the advanced tyres. NOW TECHNOLOGIES FOR FULL RECYCLING (ETRA) ARE NECESSARY. Figure 1 Post - Consumer tyre

4. TENDENCIES OF APPLICATION OF USED TYRES On data ETRA in 1992-2005 the application of the used tyres has sharply increased in the field of creation of new materials from the advanced tyres. in 1992-2005 the application of the used tyres has sharply increased in the field of creation of new materials from the advanced tyres. Processing of tyres has grown in 6 times. The market of products of processing extends. Burning of tyres has grown only in 2 times. Now burning is forbidden. The landfill of tyres has decreased in 6 times. Ecologically harmfully.

6. TIRES RECYCLING IN THE WORLD From the advanced tyres in the world are only 11 % of the powders (up to 0,5mm) allowing in the best way to utilize tyres in useful materials.

7. QUALITY OF RECYCLING OF USED TYRES by Chepulis` method From the tyres advanced by Chepulis` method are are 100 % of the powders 100 % of the powders (up to 0,5 mm)- сommodity product for creation of new products

8. The raw rubber mix - important problem THE MIX OF STANDARD RAW RUBBER DIFFERENT NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER DIFFERENT NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER BLACK CARBON AND TECHNICAL ADDITIVES The market dictates the tendency to replacement of these expensive and scarce components on the cheap powder received from post-consumer tyres. The important problem (for example, for Michelin)– to find an opportunity to add these powders in new tyre without loss of quality.

9. Chepulis` Materials Recycling Technology Patents: method of recycling, construction of equipment, rubber crumbs usage as adsorbent; Method: A product with unique physical and chemical properties (either according to size or particle topology) could be created by using shock wave matter disintegration method with ultrasonic frequency impact on matter. ECOLOGY: All materials are completely processed in a commodity product in the closed cycle (process has no waste products).

19. VARIANTS OF A RAW RUBBER. (CHEPULIS` TECHNOLOGY). THE HISTORY OF CREATION OF A RUBBER POWDER DETERMINES ITS PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. CHEPULIS` RUBBER POWDER HAS UNIQUE PROPERTIES. THERE ARE MANY VARIANTS OF THE CREATIONS OF A RAW RUBBER WITH THIS POWDER. Model with a dense core and cluster agglomeration particles fringe. The data are confirmed with researches and certificates State Unitary Enterprise NIISK im. akad. S.V.Lebedeva, Russia ( Dr. S.K.Kurland). www.fgupniisk.ru www.fgupniisk.ru

20. THE CLEARING WATER AREAS FROM PETROLEUM PRODUCTS WITH APPLICATION OF CHEPULIS` POWDER THERE IS THE WASTE PRODUCT - THE MIX AFTER CLEARING WATER AREAS FROM PETROLEUM PRODUCTS WITH APPLICATION OF CHEPULIS` POWDER. THE WASTE PRODUCT CONSIST OF: CHEPULIS` POWDER – 1 PART. CHEPULIS` POWDER – 1 PART. PETROLEUM PRODUCTS – MORE THAN 10 PARTS. PETROLEUM PRODUCTS – MORE THAN 10 PARTS.

21. THE REPLACEMENT OF DIFFERENT NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER BY POWDER OF RECYCLED RUBBER IN RAW RUBBER FOR NEW TYRES I.The standard raw rubber (market cost of rubber may be 2800 eur/t) II. The raw rubber with Chepulis` powder - 30%

22. THE REPLACEMENT OF DIFFERENT NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER BY POWDER OF RECYCLED RUBBER IN RAW RUBBER FOR GENERAL PURPOSE I.The standard raw rubber ( market cost of rubber may be 2000 eur/t) II. The raw rubber with Chepulis` powder - 50% from quantity of rubber.

23. THE REPLACEMENT OF DIFFERENT NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER BY POWDER OF RECYCLED RUBBER IN RAW RUBBER FOR GENERAL PURPOSE I.The standard raw rubber (market cost of rubber may be1400eur/t). I.The standard raw rubber (market cost of rubber may be1400eur/t). II.The raw rubber with Chepulis` powder - 90 % from quantity of rubber.
