Abstract

This paper concerns the results of comparative research into the acoustical properties of rubber granulates derived from the recycling of conveyor belts production waste. In the process of recycling it is possible to obtain pure granulated rubber and forms contaminated with cotton fibres with a predominance of rubber grains or of cotton fabric. Rubber granulate in the contaminated form is characterized by sound-absorbing properties similar to those of the average-quality mineral wool and other fibrous materials. It can be used as the core of sound-absorbing panels in anti-noise protections. The research results can be used both in the design of acoustical protection as well as in the course of the recycling process of other waste products for obtaining materials with sound absorbing properties.
