Recyklace přírodního a syntetického izoprénového kaučuku

Abstract

The main subject of this bachelor's thesis is a recycling process of a natural and synthetic caoutchouc (rubber). The utilization of caoutchouc is primarily for the production of tyres, latex gloves or condoms. More than a half of the waste materials is made up of the used tyres, so in view of this fact this thesis focuses on this waste product and the technologies of it's possible re-utilization. I describe the traditional technological procedures as well as the modern trends in recycling which are more environment-friendly.
