Waste tyre pyrolysis introduction

Waste tires pyrolysis is well known method for their thermal recycling by heating at near 500°C with purpose of liquid oil and carbon black by-production as near 50% and 35% yield correspondingly, including about 10% combustible off-gas residual after oil condensing and 5% wire steel cord in rest (all relatively to tire mass). There are many patents claimed in the world, as well as many research papers published in this field since the 1980s mainly. Not considering such simplest as batch-battery type and such complicated as fluidized bed one and some others, the drum-kiln and screw-auger type of pyrolysis reactor should be noticed as most preferable for commercial use, being both of them operated continually with tire shreds as 2-3 inch size. The tire material is gasifying in a sealed pyrolysis reactor and volatile hydrocarbons (pyrolysis gases or simply pyrogas,) are piping from reactor to condenser for the liquid pyrolysis oil. A few of the oil as 5-10% is burning for heating the reactor,provided with all the off-gas fuel after condensing the oil is after burning too. As a solid rest the tire carbon char is continually discharging from reactor for its powdering,separating off steel wires and producing the carbon black.
