  • Patent number: 8263038
    Abstract: A method for controlling volatiles in recycled carbon black, such as from pyrolysis of tires, includes deagglomerating the recycled carbon black to substantially reduce the carbon black particle size and impinging an air current on the carbon black particles, preferably in a countercurrent direction, to increase the processing temperature and thereby enhance the release of volatiles. Associated apparatus is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050165262
    Abstract: A low energy method of pyrolysis of rubber or other hydrocarbon material is provided. The hydrocarbon material is heated while maintaining a vacuum, using a clay catalyst. In an additional embodiment, also under a vacuum and optionally with or without the catalyst, the temperature of the reaction chamber and corresponding fuel input is varied either over time or spatially within the reaction chamber, to take advantage of the exothermic properties of the reaction. With the method of the present invention, an improved solid reaction product can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 5823372
    Abstract: A pump adapted for insertion between a cap and a carbonated-beverage bottle for re-pressurizing the interior of the bottle with air, the pump comprising: a hollow, resilient, expandable and compressible body, the body having a sealed upper end and a lower end; a flanged lip seal formed around an outer circumference of the upper end of the hollow body and adapted for engaging an inside recess of a standard bottle cap; the upper end of the hollow body having a hole therethrough; a membrane closing the lower end of the hollow body, the membrane containing a normally sealed opening adapted to open in response to an increase in pressure caused by compression of the hollow body; and, a collar extending from the lower end of the hollow body and adapted to sealingly engage a bottle neck upon engagement of the collar with the bottle neck.
