Abstract

Industrial wastewater is a major source of environmental pollution due to its complex and often hazardous pollutants. At the same time, the accumulation of end-of-life tires poses significant environmental challenges, as they are non-biodegradable and difficult to manage. This study explores the potential of using waste tires as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective adsorbent for treating industrial wastewater. Waste tires were chemically and thermally processed to produce a material resembling activated carbon with high surface area and porosity. The prepared material was tested for its effectiveness in removing methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions, achieving over 85% removal within one hour. The results demonstrated the promising adsorption capability of tire-derived adsorbents, highlighting their potential in removing dyes and heavy metals from wastewater. This approach not only provides a sustainable solution for tire waste management but also contributes to the development of low-cost technologies
