Abstract

The process of recovering plastics will depend on the nature of the material. It is more difficult to recover elastomers than thermoplastics. In the case of rubbers, the existence of chemical bonds that form a three-dimensional network makes these materials insoluble and incapable of melting and flowing. The presence of double bonds, however, makes cohesion of rubber particles possible by applying pressure and heat, and thus materials with acceptable mechanical properties can be produced in a cost-effective manner. The process conditions used are not extreme and in this system the determining factor is particle size. The aim of this work was to describe and justify this recovery process.
