Illinois Power and Waste Recovery, Inc. (WRI), the largest producer of IDE in the United States, entered into an agreement under which WRI will supply I DE to Illinois Power s Baldwin station. Beginning in late 1994, about 3% of the coal was replaced with tires. This requires 70,000 tons of I DE per year, or the equivalent of seven million passenger tires, and represents - 60% of the scrap tires generated in Illinois each year. 

In 1985, the Emanuel Tire Company in Baltimore processed more than 3 x 10 tires into chips, which are mostly sold to pulp and paper mills as a supplemental fuel the remainder is sold to reclaiming facHities or landfiUed. Only 20% of passenger tires are suitable for recapping. Nonrecappable tires are shredded into 5-cm chips. The Emanuel Tire operation is capable of reducing the 5-cm chips to smaller sizes. Shredded waste tire chips can be granulated into very fine wire and fabric-free mbber particles.

The cord fatigue phenomenon and effect of twist has been discussed (61). Values of Young s modulus of some belt and carcass cords used in passenger tires are given in Table 4 (62). Poisson s ratio of tire cords is often in excess of 0.5 due to twist the higher the twist, the larger Poisson s ratio of cords.

A similar situation exists for the shp speeds (Figure 26.82). They are lower for tmcks than for passenger tires but both are within the slip speed range of the laboratory abrasion tests.
