Abstract:
A method for causing used tires to recycle themselves involves chopping used tires to create a feedstock, placing the feedstock within a recycling vessel able to withstand heat and pressure, introducing a caustic agent which will isolate and neutralize or precipitate hazardous substances such as carcinogens and heavy metals, introducing a non-aliphatic hydrocarbon supercritical reactant, raising the interior of the recycling vessel to a desired temperature and pressure to cause the supercritical reactant to enter a supercritical state and effuse into the feedstock where it chemically reacts with the used tire feedstock to release hydrocarbons and other materials from the used tire feedstock, and precipitously dropping pressure within the recycling vessel so that the supercritical reactant exits the used tire feedstock so quickly that it mechanically breaks the used tire feedstock material part. Temperature within the recycling vessel can be increased by inductively heating the used tire feedstock. Hydrocarbon vapors and liquids which exit the used tire feedstock can be used to fuel a generator which provides electricity to heating by electrical induction. The hydrocarbon vapors and liquids can also be combusted to heat the recycling vessel or to preheat and dewater the used tire feedstock. Other than heavy metal contaminants and carcinogens, the used tire material can be re-used in new products.

Claim (Index 4):
A method as recited in  claim 1  wherein pressure within said recycling vessel reaches 5000 Bar and temperature within said recycling vessel reaches 400 degrees Kelvin.
