RECYCLING OF WASTE TYRE RUBBER DEPOSITS IN AIRFIELD RUNWAY: A REVIEW

In the recent years, the aviation industry has extended its passenger services by deploying more number of large Aircrafts connecting all possible places across the globe. Though the passenger services are significantly increased on the one side, it has also created a serious threat on the other side with more deposition of rubber at the time of landing leading to reduced payment skid-resistance and the frictional coefficient which decides the safe landing and take-off of any aircraft in the landing area. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review and discuss the various methodologies that are used for recycling the built-up rubber deposits in the airfield runway by comparing the vehicular tyre rubber recycling methodologies.
