Tire pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that transforms end-of-life tires into valuable by-products such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, and combustible gas. The operation of a tire pyrolysis plant involves a series of carefully controlled steps, designed to maximize the efficiency of the system while ensuring safety and compliance with environmental standards. This process presents a promising solution for recycling scrap tires, addressing both environmental concerns and resource recovery.
1. Preparation of Raw Material
The first step in the tyre pyrolysis plant is the preparation of the raw material, which consists of used tires. These tires typically undergo initial sorting to remove non-valuable materials like metals and dirt. In some cases, tires are shredded or cut into smaller pieces to increase the surface area for more efficient thermal decomposition.
Before being fed into the pyrolysis reactor, the tires may be dried to remove excess moisture. Excess moisture can interfere with the pyrolysis process, reducing efficiency and potentially causing undesirable emissions. The goal is to ensure that the feedstock is uniform, dry, and free from contaminants, optimizing the efficiency of the entire system.
2. Loading the Pyrolysis Reactor
Once the tires are properly prepared, they are loaded into the pyrolysis reactor. The reactor is a sealed chamber designed to maintain a high-temperature environment, typically between 400°C and 800°C, in the absence of oxygen. This is crucial for initiating the thermal decomposition of the tire material into simpler hydrocarbons without the risk of combustion.
At this stage, the tire material is heated in a controlled manner to break down the complex polymers in the tires. The absence of oxygen ensures that the tire components decompose into gas, liquid, and solid products, rather than burning. The system is designed to maximize the efficiency of the pyrolysis plant while minimizing the release of harmful emissions.
3. Pyrolysis Process
The heart of the tire pyrolysis plant is the pyrolysis reactor itself. In this step, the tires undergo a thermochemical reaction as they are subjected to high temperatures. As the feedstock is heated, it decomposes into several products:
Pyrolysis Oil: A liquid by-product that can be refined into various fuel products, such as diesel and gasoline.
Carbon Black: A solid by-product that can be used in manufacturing rubber, plastics, or as an industrial filler.
Pyrolysis Gas: A volatile gas that can be captured and either used as fuel to power the reactor or sold for industrial applications.
The reaction occurs in a carefully controlled environment where temperature and pressure are constantly monitored. This ensures that the decomposition of the tire material occurs at optimal conditions, resulting in high yields of valuable products and minimal waste.
4. Gas Collection and Handling
During the pyrolysis process, gases are produced and released from the reactor. These gases contain volatile hydrocarbons and are initially in a raw, unrefined state. The pyrolysis plant typically includes a gas collection and cooling system designed to capture and condense the gas into liquid oil or to direct it to a secondary combustion chamber for further use.
A portion of the pyrolysis gas is typically redirected back into the reactor to provide the necessary heat for the process. This closed-loop system helps reduce the need for external fuel sources, improving the overall energy efficiency of the plant. Any excess gas can be stored or used for other applications, such as in industrial boilers or power generation systems.
5. Condensation of Gases
The pyrolysis gas is then passed through a condenser system, where it cools and condenses into liquid pyrolysis oil. This step is critical, as it allows for the separation of the liquid oil from the gaseous components, which can then be used for energy generation or further refinement.
The liquid pyrolysis oil produced is typically low in sulfur and can be further upgraded or refined to meet specific fuel standards. Depending on the processing technology employed, the oil can be converted into usable fuels such as diesel, gasoline, or kerosene, which can be sold to the energy market or used to power the plant itself.
6. Carbon Black Separation
The solid by-product of tire pyrolysis, carbon black, is produced during the breakdown of the tire’s rubber content. Carbon black is a valuable material used in manufacturing products such as tires, rubber products, inks, paints, and plastics.
Once the pyrolysis process is complete, the carbon black is separated from the reactor and collected. It is then cooled and prepared for sale or further processing, depending on the intended use. The quality of the carbon black produced is a key factor in determining its market value, and the pyrolysis plant may incorporate additional refinement steps to enhance the material’s properties.
7. Post-Reaction Cooling and Collection
After the pyrolysis reaction is complete, the remaining materials in the reactor need to be cooled to a safe temperature before removal. The cooling system ensures that both the solid and liquid products are stabilized and prepared for further processing or storage.
The solid residue, which consists primarily of carbon black, is removed from the reactor and processed for sale. At this stage, the remaining material is typically inert and can be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner or used in other industrial applications, such as construction or as a filler material in various products.
Nowadays, pyrolysis plant has become a popular technical solution in solid waste disposal (including biomass, plastic, oil sludge, and tire rubber). The
Over the House of David and the citizens of Jerusalem I will pour out a spirit of kindness and prayer. They will look on the one whom they have pierced; they will mourn for him as for an only son, and weep for him as people weep for a first-born child. When that day comes, there will be great mourning in Judah.

The hollowing out of US industry wasn’t caused by China — but by American elites themselves. Starting in the 1980s, they embraced hyper-financialisation, prioritising short-term gains from financial markets over long-term investments in productivity and employment. They were the ones who offshored manufacturing to low-wage countries — China chief among them — enabling US corporations to reap enormous profits while decimating domestic industry and working-class communities. And it was these same elites who aggressively championed the global free trade regime that made this massive offshoring possible.
Trump’s tariff policy represents a desperate bid to preserve US economic, military and geopolitical dominance at any cost — using economic coercion against nearly every country on the planet
As noted already, reindustrialising the US and scaling back hyper-globalisation are meaningful and legitimate goals — both from the standpoint of American workers and national security. This isn’t because China is inherently an enemy, but because reducing excessive reliance on far-flung supply chains for critical goods is simply a matter of common sense.
However, for this strategy to succeed, it must be grounded in an accurate diagnosis of the problem — and an effective remedy. Trump’s policy, however, fails on both counts. His administration’s entire tariff narrative is based on the idea that the hollowing out of US manufacturing and related import dependencies are the result of other countries — chief among them China — “ripping off” and “free-riding” on America.

qu'un économiste puisse dire ça est effrayant, la dette américaine était (est toujours même si elle a diminué de 2000 milliards de $ après cette "crise") insoutenable à terme une adaptation progressive de l'économie ne serait possible que si l'état profond américain était d'accord, or les globalistes sont vent-debout contre tout changement, le seul moyen était donc de les mettre devant le fait accomplis... ce qui est presque réalisé
les 90 jours promis par Trump, ne sont qu'un discours, non seulement il continu de "négocier" des droits de douane pendant cette période, mais surtout en posant un droit de 10% il passe d'un droit inexistant à un droit très significatif "en attendant" les négociations...
qu'a gauche, on vante la globalisation est une incompréhension totale des forces en actions et de la puissance de la grande bourgeoisie (qu'on appelle "État profond" aux USA). Et le projet de Trump montre le genre d'opposition qu'aurait rencontré la gauche lorsqu'elle aurait fait elle même les mêmes mesures (et si elle les avait fait plus progressivement, elle n'aurait pas pu le faire du tout dans un monde globalisé)
En définitive,Porcher montre qu'il n'est pas a gauche, mais qu'il est un socialiste (un lupenprolétaire qui a renoncé à la lutte de classe)
A collaboration between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer and satirist Zebedee Nungak, Qallunaat! brings the documentary form to an unexpected place in which oppression, history, and comedy collide. This documentary pokes fun at the ways in which Inuit people have been treated as “exotic” documentary subjects by turning the lens onto the strange behaviours of Qallunaat (the Inuit word for white people). The term refers less to skin colour than to a certain state of mind: Qallunaat greet each other with inane salutations, repress natural bodily functions, complain about being cold, and want to dominate the world. Their odd dating habits, unsuccessful attempts at Arctic exploration, overbearing bureaucrats and police, and obsession with owning property are curious indeed. #inuit

One must ask ones self "why would they vote for Hamas?"
What was so bad that they resorted to voting for terrorists to run their government?
And why would they try to free hostages when their people are also hostages in Israeli prisons and are being kidnapped, raped and tortured?
I've made my opinion known about this, which is fuck all of em but Jesus Christ try thinking critically instead of blindly siding with the narrative Israel puts out to make themselves the victims in this (and every fucking thing)
I'm not a big supporter of the Israeli government, especially when it was the Israelis that used terrorism to get their country but I need to point this out. Israel never wanted Gaza or the West Bank. They agreed to take these two locations as settlement for the wars that Egypt and Jordan started with them and lost. Also I'd like to point out that Jordan is the official Palestinian government but like all fucking Arabs there are different tribes and the tribe that is now in Gaza and West Bank don't like the tribe that controls Jordan and vise versa. As for Gaza, it was overseen by Egypt but they fought the Israelis to a dead lock once and outright lost 2 more times until Egypt could no longer afford to fight them and just gave up. Why is this so important? Now you might ask what the Egyptians were fighting Israel for, it was really over the stupidest of things, Egypt wanted nothing to do with the Palestinian's who lived in Gaza and were trying to force Israel to take it like they promised they would. No body wanted the Palestinians who lived in Gaza or the West Bank because they were of a dirty tribe of Arabs.
Now here's the real kicker in all this, The reason the Arabs don't like these Palestinians is because they are related to the Levi tribe of Jews. They are considered Jews in most Arab eyes and to Israelis they are not Jews, their Arabs. It's like a fucked up version of tag! These Palestinians were supposed to go to Jordan originally, The West Bank was supposed to be under Jordanian control and was to be used for these Palestinian mutts while Gaza was supposed to belong to Israel as a sea port but the mutts didn't like what the British were doing and felt entitled to Gaza, a country the size of Rhode Island.
Now do I care if Israel blasts them off the face of the earth? Hell no. Do I care if the Palestinians blast Israel off the face of the earth? Hell no! Fuck 'em all, it's none of our business what they do over there. If Israel wants to borrow money from us, fine. If the Palestinians wanna borrow money from us that's fine too as long as they can pay the loans back! Other than that we should give absolute zero fucks about the middle east.
In the 1940s, the British Army found itself stuck in the middle of a growing conflict between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. The momentous events that followed led to the creation of the State of Israel.
@NearMiss I have to partially agree (my 3 brother-in-laws are Muslims but they love bacon and made me swear never to tell anyone) That's why it's not all of the muzzies just the Arab ones that are all fucking asshole murderers. The Asian muzzies aren't that bad and there's a bunch that love alcohol and bacon but they will never admit it unless you offer to pay for the beer 🤣

Monkey Mart's development and rewards for tiny efforts make it so appealing. Each tap is meaningful and boosts Silas's riches. Watching the booths fill with vegetables, customers happy buying their wares, and coins accumulate generates a powerful circle of inspiration. It taps into the human need to develop and nurture, even a monkey-run virtual bazaar.
The Monkey Mart appeal is obvious. Graphics are lively and cartoonish. Silas and his monkey coworkers, who can automate activities, are portrayed with a joyful spirit that makes players smile. The game's calm yet fascinating mood is enhanced by the sound design's soft harvesting noises and cash register "cha-ching" sound. It's a welcome, fun world that's excellent for escaping daily life.
goes beyond tapping and upgrading to make strategic decisions. Players must balance profitability with harvesting time and effort while choosing which stalls to invest in first. Silas can focus on expansion and new product lines by hiring more monkey workers to automate jobs. The game discreetly urges players to optimize their workflow to harvest, stock, and serve their growing client base.
New products and mart growth give a pleasant sense of exploration. Unlocking a new stall, like the popcorn machine or juice press, adds profit and visual interest to the bustling bazaar. Silas's banana stand grows into a large, multi-faceted emporium, demonstrating the player's progress.
Monkey Mart also successfully incorporates idle games. Silas and his hired workers get passive money when the player isn't tapping. This lets gamers relax and check in to collect earnings, upgrade their stalls, and plan their next expansion. Its blend of active interaction and passive progression makes it suitable for daily spurts.
In conclusion, Monkey Mart is a simple but captivating game that has won over many. Its cute visual, straightforward gameplay loop, and fulfilling sense of developing a successful business around a hard-working monkey make it calm and enjoyable. It reminds us that sometimes the most engaging adventures start with a banana and that even in the most fantastical virtual worlds, creativity is fun. Put yourself in Silas's shoes, accept the mart's rhythm, and experience Monkey Mart's surprise appeal. It may make you crazy.

Geometry Dash's music-gameplay synergy is likely its most notable feature. The beat is part of the challenge, not just a backdrop. Players must integrate the aural and visual surroundings as obstacles come and fade with the rhythm. This offers an immersive experience where success is a culmination of player and game harmony, not just dexterity. The joy of timing a complex sequence of jumps and flips to the music's crescendo is unparalleled.
Early simplicity gives way to surprising depth in the game. As they go, players acquire geometric forms with changeable colors and trails for a personalized look. More importantly, they experience several gameplay mechanics. Gravity portals transform the world, velocity changes disrupt timing, and spaceships and UFOs introduce novel control dynamics. This continual growth keeps the gameplay interesting and eliminates monotony, even after many attempts at a difficult level.
The Geometry Dash is not for the fainthearted. Its severe difficulty curve borders on masochism. Levels need pinpoint timing and focus. Failure is inevitable and typically occurs milliseconds before the finish. However, its difficulty makes it addictive. Each setback inspires a determination to try again, learn the pattern, and overcome the seemingly insurmountable. Players keep going back for more because little successes, incremental advancement after many efforts, are so rewarding.
Beyond official levels, Geometry Dash has a vibrant and creative community. A powerful level editor lets players create and share complex, mind-bending levels. UGC offers an unending supply of fresh challenges, from beginner-friendly to levels that push the limits of human possibility. This vibrant community keeps the game fresh and evolving when the official content is exhausted.
In conclusion, Geometry Dash goes beyond tap-based gameplay. It shows the power of sleek design, music-gameplay synergy, and the appeal of a good challenge. The game requires time and precision, but perseverance yields a distinct sense of accomplishment. Geometry Dash is a relentlessly paced journey that will test your reflexes and playlist, whether you're a casual mobile gamer looking for a fast adrenaline rush or a dedicated enthusiast looking for the ultimate challenge. Once inside its world of sharp edges and thundering sounds, the need to conquer its geometric gauntlet is irresistible.
The California crosswalk buttons were rigged to play a deepfake audio of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg roasting themselves. 'F— I'm so alone,' the AI-generated clip of Musk says.
In 2019 Carole Cadwalladr gave a TED talk that broke from their tradition of glowing techno-optimism. She told the world about the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal. She was met with a lot of anger, and she got sued.
Now she's back with a talk about the "digital coup" in the US. I'll just quote a lot of the transcript. The whole transcript is here:
I have a lot of emotions about coming here. And TED, also, I suspect, is feeling them too. But what actually I finally realized yesterday is that the denial and the confusion that I've been feeling is maybe what you're feeling, too.
I felt powerless for a really long time. So if that's what you're feeling, I get it. But we have to act now. My alarm system is ringing again. There are things that we can do. In my case, I survived. And you will too. But it's by learning how to fight back. This is my guide, and it has to start with naming it. It's a coup.
I know you probably don't want to hear that, and especially here, but we can’t fight it if we can’t see it. And we can’t see it if we don’t name it.
The Russian and American presidents are now speaking the same words. They are telling the same lies. We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time. And this is just the start.
Coups are like concrete. When they stop moving, they set. It is already later than we think.
[Photo of Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk et al looking uncomfortable at Trump's inauguation.]
This image, some of you in this room might know these people. I call it tech bros in hostage situations. It's a message to you. This is Putin's playbook. He allows a business elite to make untold riches in exchange for absolute loyalty.
Some people are calling this oligarchy, but it's actually bigger than that. These are global platforms. It's broligarchy.
There is an alignment of interests that runs through Silicon Valley to what is now a coming autocracy. It's a type of power that the world has never seen before.
Follow the data. It's always the data. It's the crack cocaine of Silicon Valley. You know, the first thing that Elon Musk did was to send his cyber troops into the US Treasury to get access to the data. That is not a coincidence. It's a hack. That data is now feeding AIs that are choosing who to sack and who to replace - Sorry -- eliminate fraud and waste.
When we broke the Cambridge Analytica story about the harvesting of 87 million people’s Facebook data, people freaked out, rightly. That is chicken feed compared to this. But it is the blueprint. It's always the data. Which is why it's so important that you start thinking about your private life. The broligarchy doesn't want you to have one.
This is the old headquarters of the East German secret police. They kept detailed files on almost one in three of their citizens. That is nothing compared to what Google has on every single one of us, and hundreds of other companies.
The entire business model of Silicon Valley is surveillance. It harvests our data in order to sell us stuff. We are already living inside the architecture of totalitarianism. It may not have been deliberate, but we now have to start acting as if we live in East Germany, and Instagram is the Stasi.
Politics is downstream from culture. So I actually learned this from somebody who I think of as one of the great philosophers of our age, Steve Bannon. He actually stole it from somebody else. But it's not politicians who have the power. He knows that. It's why he's a podcast bro, these days. But culture now is just what's next on your phone. And that's AI. Culture is AI now.
And forget the killer robots. If you want to know what the first great AI apocalypse is, we're already living it. It's total information collapse. And if you take one thing only away from this talk, it's politics is technology now. And that's why everybody in this room, you can't look away. It's why your CEOs have been taken captive and are paraded on TV like hostages. But you, you have a choice.
So Trump, he calls the press the enemies of the people. And he probably doesn't even know that he's quoting Stalin. So what happened to me is a playbook, and it's now coming for all sorts of other people. It was actually a friend of this guy who came after me. This is Nigel Farage. He's a Brexit funder.
[Carole Cadwalladr was sued for libel by Arron Banks, co-founder of the "Lean EU" Brexit campaign. She had said he lied about "his relationship with the Russian government". The courts agreed with this, but still say she owes damages and £1m in costs.]
I'm not going to go super into the details. But 19 press-freedom organizations called the lawsuit against me a SLAPP. That means it’s a Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation. A really long-winded way of saying it's using law as a weapon to shut people up. Not just journalists, but other public people, too. And it works.
I just wanted to tell you about one aspect of the litigation, which I found terrifying. And that was the data harvesting. There's this quote you may know, it's Cardinal Richelieu:
"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
In my case, the first forensic searches of my phone and laptop yielded 40,000 pieces of data. It was my messages, my emails, my voice memos, my personal life. And the whole thing about this: the attack which came for me, was really personal. Because the thing about this litigation is only one part of the playbook. It was also this sort of massive online campaign of abuse, which is just day after day, after day, after day. Because my most unforgivable crime was reporting while female. It was a digital witch burning.
And I believe that this man came after me personally, not at "The Guardian" and not TED, it was because I looked like the weakest link. But he was wrong.
30,000 people rose up to support me. They contributed almost a million pounds to a legal defense fund. Because they saw a bully trying to crush me, and they would not let it stand.
