摘要
Assessing the material ramifications of waste tire rubber stands as a pivotal endeavor for its practical utility. Dynamic leaching analysis emerges as indispensable in delineating its potentialities within sustainable engineering domains. Waste materials stemming from tire recycling industries, notably polyurethane-coated rubber (PUcR), may exhibit promising viability owing to attenuated leaching, thus fostering the circular economy paradigm. Towards this end, up-flow column percolation leaching tests were conducted on recycled rubber-soil mixture (RSM) alongside PU-coated rubber-soil mixture (PUcRSM). Analysis through Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) unveiled the leaching dynamics of assorted metals in RSM and PUcRSM, notably showcasing markedly diminished cumulative zinc content (by 99.4 %) in PUcRSM, coupled with mitigated electrical conductivity, redox potential, and eluate pH. Leveraging HYDRUS-1D for analytical modeling predicated on the advection–dispersion equation further underscored these insights. These findings suggest that waste PUcR presents itself as a viable option, distinguished by its diminished leachability, suitable for a wide array of applications. These applications include vibration damping in infrastructure, tunnel linings, asphalt roads, rubberized concrete, and lightweight backfill materials for bridges and retaining walls, among others. This initiative will contribute to recycling a substantial quantity of over 1 billion used tires produced annually, ultimately supporting the circular economy ethos through assured and adaptable repurposing of waste from tire rubber recycling industries.
