Pyrolysis (Rubber to Fuel)

• Pyrolysis is the chemical decomposition of organic materials by heating in the absence of oxygen or any other reagents, except possibly steam.
• Pyrolysis can be used to reprocess the tyres into fuel oil, fuel gas, solid residue (steel wire) and carbon black.
• The waste tyres are mainly composed of long chain of C-H molecules.
• Under normal process conditions the heat transfer will be done by radiation.
• The technology of pyrolysis, cracking, and monomerization of used tyres is always a hot topic.
