Thanks Naizam for sharing this article, Using scrap tire rubber for the above adsorption of selected metals could make sense at first reading. However, such scrap tire rubber could also be devulcanized to produce new tires by re-vulcanizing it again and again, thus closing the loop of the recycling of tires. N.B The fate of end of life tires today is very pathetic as you know: 40% gets burnt in cement kilns (as free or almost free fuel), 40% gets cut in pieces for insulation and shock absorption purpose, 10% is landfilled, and 10% is retreaded.
