The influence of pH, adsorbent dose, initial Cu(II) concentration and contact time on the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption technique using waste tire rubber ash as a low-cost adsorbent was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved after 2 h at pH 4-6, the optimum for the adsorption of Cu(II) ions. A dose of 1.5 g/L of adsorbent was sufficient for the optimum removal of copper ions. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the corresponding sorption constants were evaluated. The adsorption kinetics data were fitted by a first-order equation. The cost of removal is expected to be quite low, as the adsorbent is cheap and easily available in large quantities. The present study showed that waste tire rubber ash was capable of removing copper ions from industrial wastewater samples.

The partially devulcanization of waste tire rubber vulcanizate was carried out with the newly developed mechanochemical pan mill, which can exert fairly strong compressing and shearing force on the milling materials and avoid the agglomeration phenomenon. The experimental results indicate that the particle size is greatly reduced and the surface is fluffier, crosslink density is reduced to one half without large degradation and heavy damage of rubber backbones. The study of mechanical properties of revulcanizate of SBR and waste tire rubber blends at 1:1 ratio indicates that elongation at break increased from 302% to 447.6%. But the properties of tensile strength, modulus and hardness are reduced. The mechanochemical pan milling process is a simple, low cost and environmental-benign process for waste tire rubber devulcanization at ambient temperature without any use of chemicals and can be used at commercial-scale.

For improving bending toughness and fatigue performance of brittle cement-based composites, two types of water-soluble polymers (such as dispersible latex powder and polyvinyl alcohol powder) and waste tire-rubber powders are added to concrete as admixtures. Multiscale toughening mechanisms of these additions in concretes were comprehensively investigated. Four-point bending fatigue performance of four series concretes is conducted under a stress level of 0.70. The results show that the effects of dispersible latex powder on bending toughness and fatigue life of concrete are better than those of polyvinyl alcohol powder. Furthermore, the bending fatigue lives of concrete simultaneously containing polymers and waste rubber powders are larger than those of concrete with only one type of admixtures. The multiscale physics-chemical mechanisms show that high bonding effect and high elastic modulus of polymer films as well as good elastic property and crack-resistance of waste tire-rubber powders are beneficial for improving bending toughness and fatigue life of cementitious composites.
