ABSTRACT	A continuous tertiary recycling process has been developed for use on scrap tires and rubberbased materials. A standard size plant processes 100 tons per day of scrap tires into gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons, steel, and carbon black. The hydrocarbons are high-quality fuels, the steel is readiy resmelted, and the carbon black can be reused to reinforce rubbers and plastics. Additional uses for the carbon black are found in applications such as filters, inks, toners, and paints. By obtaining value from all the components in the scrap tires, the process is highly profitable and produces an attractive rate of return on investment while solving the waste tire disposal problem.
