Recycling of roofing membrane rubber by ultrasonic devulcanization
The recycling of vulcanizates based on EPDM roofing membrane rubber using a new ultrasonic devulcanization reactor with a grooved barrel was carried out. This reactor provided continuous devulcanization at an output as high as 2.52 g/s. Die pressure and ultrasonic power consumption were measured as a function of processing conditions. The mechanical properties of virgin vulcanized and revulcanized roofing membranes were measured. Tensile strength of the revulcanized rubber was found to be similar to that of the virgin vulcanizate. Gel fraction, crosslink density, and dynamic properties of the virgin vulcanizate, the ultrasonically devulcanized rubber, and the revulcanized rubber were determined. Also, dynamic properties and the cure behavior of the virgin compound and of the devulcanized roofing membrane were investigated. All these properties were found to be dependent on processing conditions during devulcanization. The thermal stability of the virgin compound, virgin vulcanizate, and devulcanized and revulcanized rubbers were studied by means of TGA. It was found that the thermal stability of all the vulcan- izates in air and nitrogen environments remained practically intact, while that of devulcanized rubber in air environment was a function of processing conditions.
