The devolatilisation kinetics of waste tyres has been extensively
investigated over the last decades [10,11]. Generally, a mechanism
with three independently reacting pseudocomponents has been
assumed [12,13], while some studies included consecutive reactions
[14], parallel reactions of single pseudocomponents [12], or
elastomer-simulation as the pseudocomponents [15]. Although the
results of the application of these more advanced devolatilisation
mechanisms were promising, they have not yet been applied for
the prediction of rubber contents in waste tyres.
