How does GSEs rubber devulcanization technology work?
Vulcanized crumb rubber particles are mixed with GSE’s proprietary reagent, GSX™, in a simple reactor vessel at low temperature and atmospheric pressure to break the carbon-sulfur bonds and sulfur-sulfur bonds. The resultant mixture is conveyed to a filtration unit to separate it into a liquid stream and a particulate solids stream. The particulate solids are composed mainly of devulcanized rubber, carbon black, sulfur powder and minerals. The liquid comprises GSXTM with some carbon black and suspended sulfur. The carbon black and sulfur can be separated from the liquid stream via fine filtration to reuse the GSX™ the devulcanization process.
