固特异轮胎橡胶公司(GT)近日宣布一项新技术,可以从用于发电而焚烧稻壳后所留下的灰烬中提取制造轮胎所需的二氧化硅原料,帮助固特异生产节油环保轮胎。根据联合国粮食农业组织的统计数据,全世界每年收获的稻谷超过7亿吨,而稻壳的处理是一个极具挑战性的环境问题。因此,稻壳通常被焚烧用于发电,以减少运往垃圾填埋场的废物量。过去两年来,固特异创新技术中心一直在研究从稻壳灰中提取二氧化硅的技术,经测试发现其对轮胎性能的影响与传统来源的二氧化硅相同。这 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT) recently announced a new technology to extract the silica raw materials required for the manufacture of tires from the ash left after burning rice husks for electricity generation, to help Goodyear produce fuel-efficient and eco-friendly tires . According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, more than 700 million tons of rice are harvested annually in the world, and the handling of rice husks is a very challenging environmental issue. As a result, rice husks are often incinerated for power generation to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Over the past two years, the Goodyear Innovation Center has been studying the technology for extracting silica from rice husk ash and has been tested to find that it has the same effect on tire performance as traditional sources of silica.
