There are indeed environmental pollution problems in the production process of tire rubber, which mainly include the following aspects:
1、 Environmental dust pollution
Dust pollution is a significant issue in the tire rubber mixing workshop. In the process of raw material batching, especially when using carbon black, improper unpacking and batching methods can lead to the generation of a large amount of dust. These dust particles not only cause pollution to the workshop environment, but may also pose a threat to the health of workers. Therefore, adopting advanced mixing machines and automatic batching systems, as well as strengthening ventilation and dust removal measures in the workshop, are effective means to reduce dust pollution.
2、 Chemical pollution
In the production process of tire rubber, various chemical raw materials and additives are used, such as anti-aging agents. These substances may produce harmful vapors under high temperature and pressure, such as vapors containing nitrosamines, which are considered to have carcinogenic risks and pose a threat to the health of workshop workers. In addition, the wastewater generated during tire production usually contains various chemicals. If not properly treated and directly discharged into water bodies, it will cause serious pollution to water quality.
3、 Waste gas pollution
During the production process of tire rubber, exhaust gases are also generated, which may contain sulfur-containing compounds (such as H2S, SO2), dust (such as carbon black), chlorine containing compounds (such as amides, indoles), hydrocarbons (such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons), and oxygen-containing organic compounds (such as alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, etc.). These exhaust gases are complex and varied in composition, with large emissions, causing certain pollution to the surrounding environment. Therefore, effective waste gas treatment measures need to be taken, such as installing waste gas treatment equipment, strengthening waste gas collection and treatment, etc., to reduce the pollution of waste gas to the environment.
4、 Noise pollution
During the production process of tire rubber, mechanical equipment generates significant noise during operation. If there are no effective sound insulation measures, it may cause interference to the surrounding environment and residents' lives. Therefore, it is necessary to take sound insulation and noise reduction measures, such as installing sound insulation equipment, optimizing equipment layout, etc., to reduce the impact of noise on the environment and residents.
In summary, there are indeed environmental pollution issues in the production process of tire rubber. In order to reduce the impact of these pollution problems on the environment and human health, a series of effective measures need to be taken for governance and prevention. This includes optimizing production equipment, improving production processes, strengthening waste gas and wastewater treatment, and enhancing employees' environmental awareness. Through the implementation of these measures, environmental pollution issues in the production process of tire rubber can be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
