Industrial reycling of tyre material

Enviro has developed a process for recycling old tyre material into several useful products. The process, where the tyres are introduced as shredded pieces, includes pyrolysis followed by separation and treatment, resulting in steel that can be sold, industry-grade oil, gas that is re-used for energy in the recycling process, and carbon black, which is sold for reusage in new products. The innovation is unique in its ability to evenly heat the tyre material in the reactor, allowing for high efficiency and enables the extraction of carbon black from the material.

Water from air without energy

Sponsh wrote: The united nations expect that within 30 years, half the world’s population will experience water stress. However, nature has learned over millions of years how to survive in dry, coastal areas: they retrieve their water from air. So we thought: why don’t we do that. . Inspired by nature, we developed technology that produces water from air, using a smart, temperature-sensitive textile. During the night, when temperature are low, the textile absorbs large amounts of water from air. During the day, as temperatures rise, the fibres in the textile contract and release all the water. That way, driven by the natural temperature cycles of day and night, this textile can produce abundant water for irrigation and drinking water. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

ATS WorldWide wrote: The idea was born during a casual conversation with a friend pilot. He said that from the moment of landing at the airport, only by the gate his plane burned more than 2 tons of aviation fuel! what a waste . We solved the problem that the entire aviation industry could not handle since the 1970s. If the ats is implemented the fuel cost savings only at three european airports: frankfurt, heathrow, parics will amount to 749. 400. 000 eur!. The following amounts of gases are released into the environment during aircraft taxiing procedures at these three european airports every year: hc - - hydrocarbons - 1. 602. 850 kg. Nox - carcinogenic nitric oxides - 4. 309. 050 kg. Co - lethal damp, carbon monoxide - 19. 315. 799 kg... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Pinelinite

Tsarina Natural Wood Protection wrote: I have developed a 100% natural, non toxic and environmentally safe direct replacement for creosote, creocote and other timber protection treatments. All the ingredients come from plants, tree's and minerals from natural sustainable resources. Preparing the treatment uses zero energy, although a low power blender would be a benefit to large volume mixer. The treatment also has other uses apart from timber protection. It can also be used to protect metal from oxidation and can be used to protect other materials. It can also used to create waterproof breathable membranes from waste paper and other materials. At end of life cycle, the pinelinite can be easily recovered for reuse. It is a true 100% full cycle recyclable product... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
