Resumen
En la actualidad la acumulación y disposición final de las llantas ha generado un problema de salud pública, económico y del medio ambiente, esto debido a que la sociedad no tiene conocimiento del buen manejo que se le debe dar a las llantas en desuso y optan por “almacenarlas” en lugares inadecuados generando un impacto negativo en el ambiente e inclusive trayendo consigo riesgos de incendios. Otro de los métodos que dispone la sociedad es el entierro de estas ò arrojarlas a ríos, mares y vertientes, además de los rellenos sanitarios.
El propósito de la presente investigación precisamente es concientizar a las personas de la importancia que tiene el medio ambiente en nuestras vidas, luego la problemática de la contaminación derivada de las malas prácticas en la disposición de llantas usadas y como se pueden obtener otros productos e incluso materia prima para mejorar o desarrollar otros productos mediante el reciclaje y trituración de las mismas. El granulo de caucho reciclado GCR es empleado para la elaboración de mezcla asfáltica con el fin de pavimentar carreteras, aparcamientos, aeropuertos y el núcleo de las presas, disminuyendo la extracción de áridos en canteras, alfombras, aislantes de vehículos o losetas de goma. También tiene uso como materiales de fabricación de tejados, pasos a nivel, cubiertas, masillas, aislantes de vibración. De igual forma se utiliza en parques, pistas atléticas, canchas sintéticas entre otros usos deportivos, suelas de calzado, aislantes acústicos, topes de caucho para carreteras y muelles de carga son otros de los muchos usos que se le puede dar.
At present, the accumulation and final disposal of tires has generated a public health, economic and environmental problem, this is due to the fact that society is not aware of the proper management that should be given to disused tires and they opt for “store” them in inappropriate places generating a negative impact on the environment and even bringing with it fire risks. Another of the methods available to society is the burial of these or throwing them into rivers, seas and springs, in addition to landfills. The purpose of this research is precisely to make people aware of the importance of the environment in our lives, then the problem of pollution derived from bad practices in the disposal of used tires and how other products can be obtained and even raw material to improve or develop other products by recycling and grinding them. The GCR recycled rubber granule is used for the preparation of asphalt mixture in order to pave roads, parking lots, airports and the core of dams, reducing the extraction of aggregates in quarries, carpets, vehicle insulation or rubber tiles. It is also used as materials for the manufacture of roofs, level crossings, covers, putties, vibration insulators. In the same way, it is used in parks, athletic tracks, synthetic fields among other sports uses, shoe soles, acoustic insulation, rubber bumpers for roads and loading docks are other of the many uses that can be given.
