Industry Status
The production and manufacturing of the rubber industry are involved in many sectors, especially playing an irreplaceable role in tire production. Although the rubber industry has obvious advantages, it inevitably brings some harms—with a particularly significant impact on the environment.
The main waste gas components generated during rubber production include:
- Sulfur-containing compounds (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, mercaptans, sulfides);
- Dust (e.g., carbon black);
- Chlorine-containing compounds (e.g., aniline, indoles);
- Hydrocarbons (e.g., alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics);
- Oxygen-containing organics (e.g., alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids).
These are the key components of rubber waste gas. Among them, inorganics include hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon black, etc.; most odorous gases are derived from organic substances. These substances pose great harm to human health.
Solution
Resolving the harms of the rubber industry while maximizing its advantages is an urgent issue for the current rubber industry. Under such circumstances, Sunbo Environment has innovated by using more modern scientific technologies and improved techniques to address the problems of the rubber industry one by one.
For rubber waste gas treatment, the main targets are hydrogen sulfide, dust, grease, and non-methane total hydrocarbons. The main process adopted is a washing tower combined with a low-temperature plasma waste gas treatment device:
- First, the rubber waste gas is pretreated by the washing tower to reduce its concentration.
- Then, the low-temperature plasma waste gas treatment device processes the toxic and harmful components in the waste gas, ensuring compliance with the national second-level discharge standard (GB16297-1996 Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants
- Finally, the up-to-standard gas is discharged through a fan.
