Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors1 - The idea is very interesting, but methods are not well explained and introduced,
2 - the software that you used FEM software I believe is not introduced,
3 - and really the process in the cilindric structure is not well defined
4- and vulcanization agent neither defined
5- and its position is not well explained, please introduce changes in this areas,
6- introduce a process diagram specifiinf very well this,
7 - neither there is no information If this research is for a company or project, 8- and I believe that for this is important to explain and clarify a energy balance about the retraitment process and energy diagram about the process of retraitment described by you
Describe the benefit of the 2 retraitment processes described by you (high temperature and low temperature)

Comments 1: The idea is very interesting, but methods are not well explained and introduced.
Response 1: Thank you for your suggestion. We have completed the modifications.
Comments 2: The software that you used FEM software I believe is not introduced.
Response 2: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we made modifications and introductions on lines 134, 191, and 224.
Comments 3: And really the process in the cilindric structure is not well defined.
Response 3: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we made modifications in Figure 3 and introduced it on line 165.
Comments 4: Vulcanization agent neither defined.
Response 4: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we made an introduction from line 80 to 85.
Comments 5: And its position is not well explained, please introduce changes in this areas.
Response 5: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we made an introduction on line 79.
Comments 6: Introduce a process diagram specifiinf very well this,.
Response 6: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we made a modification in Figure 1.
Comments 7:Neither there is no information If this research is for a company or project
Response 7: In facet. The author, Baolin Wang, is the CEO of the company, which can be seen on the website, https://aiqicha.baidu.com/company_detail_20492703234228. And Xiaowen Luan and Hui Li is the employee of the company.
Comments 8: and I believe that for this is important to explain and clarify a energy balance about the retraitment process and energy diagram about the process of retraitment described by you.
Response 8: We agree with this comment. Therefore, we added a schematic diagram of energy transfer in Figure 4.
Comments 9: Describe the benefit of the 2 retraitment processes described by you.
Response 8: We agree with this comment. The article has already mentioned the benefits of cold vulcanization. In addtion, we also introduced the benefits of hot vulcanization on lines 111 to 113.
