The present invention includes a system and a method for the refinement of char and the manufacture of regenerated carbon black through waste tire pyrolysis, wherein, in a process of refining char obtained through a pyrolysis process of a waste tires, volatile constituents of char are preferentially removed prior to molding using a pyrolysis furnace having a continuous-type configuration and capable of operating in a continuous manner, and microparticular or microparticle-type regenerated carbon black is produced using the resulting char of increased purity as a material and then molded into spheres with water serving as a binder, whereby regenerated carbon black of high quality can be produced, with the concomitant achievement of cost reduction and an increase in output in the process of producing corresponding spherical regenerated carbon black.

A needle shield remover for a medicament delivery device is presented that has a metal tubular body, a proximal part, a distal part, and a substantially circular cross-section, where the tubular body is arranged with a slot extending from a distal end of the body, at least half the length of the body, towards a proximal end, such that at least the distal part of the body may flex radially outwards to exert a radially inwardly directed clamping force on a needle shield accommodated by the body.

Machine for recycling tyres by recovering the tyre tread rubber using waterjets. The machine comprises a loading unit for loading a tread, a processing unit, the processing unit comprising a framework comprising a preprocessing zone, a processing zone and a postprocessing design. The preprocessing zone drives a cut tread towards the processing zone. The processing zone comprises a processing module designed to direct a waterjet onto the recovered tread. The preprocessing zone comprises motorized guide rollers and presence sensors arranged in such a way as to allow a second tread to catch up with a first tread in such a way as to reduce, to the point of closing up, the space between two treads.

The invention relates to a method and system for the elimination of odours in recycled plastic materials, which comprises the steps of: separating and conditioning the plastic; shredding the plastic by means of a bladed shredded, which reduces the plastic into powder-sized particles; chemically washing with a surfactant, which is carried out in a stirring tank; rinsing the plastic material to eliminate dirt and the chemicals used, which is carried out in a rinsing reactor; mechanically drying the clean material in a dryer; and deodorising the plastic, wherein volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are removed from the clean, dry material by means of steam distillation, deodorisation being performed in a steam distillation column, the VOC-free plastic exiting through the bottom part of the column.

Method for recycling composite ropes, the method comprising a step of identifying (SO) the type of rope and at least one step of separating components comprising one or the other of the following steps /S1/,/S2/,/S3/,/S4/ as defined below: /S1/—a mechanical separation step, /S2/—a chemical separation step, /S3/—a thermal separation step, /S4/—a biological separation step and machine or installation for recycling composite ropes.

Powder compositions containing processed solid waste are provided herein, as are products made from the compositions, and systems and methods for making the compositions and products.

Provided herein are methods of making a reactive particulate material by free radically polymerizing a single-cure resin to produce a polymer, the resin comprising: a reactive blocked polyurethane prepolymer, a reactive blocked polyurea prepolymer, a reactive blocked polyurethane-polyurea copolymer, or a combination thereof, wherein said polymerizing is carried out by dispersive polymerization (e.g., an emulsion, suspension or dispersion polymerization process), to form said reactive particulate material. Methods of use of the reactive particulate material and material sets including the same are also provided.

The invention relates to a mechanochemical process for decontaminating and/or for eliminating problematic, synthetic, biogenic and biological materials A; for breaking down phosphates B; for immobilising metals and the compounds C thereof; for separating carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide D into elements; and for recovering valuable products E. The process comprises: —providing a material F to be milled containing —at least one material A, B, C and/or D and —at least one type of carbon or carbon-yielding material G, or alternatively providing the components of F and G separately from one another; —filling the material F to be milled into a mechanical mill (1), or alternatively —filling the components of the material F to be milled into a mechanical mill (1) and —milling by means of milling elements (1.2) moved by agitation means (1.4) or by means of rollers (1.4.6); after which —the resulting product I is separated from the milling elements (1.2) or the rollers (1.4.6) and is discharged from the milling chamber (1.1) and worked up. The invention also relates to the use of the products I as valuable materials E, the use of a self-cooling electric motor (4) for driving a mechanochemical mill (1), and mechanochemical mills (1) having new agitation means (1.4).

Provided herein are methods of recycling additively manufactured objects, which may include making a reactive particulate material by recycling preformed articles or recovered coating material. Methods of use of the reactive particulate material and material sets including the same are also provided.

A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.
