Abstract

Pyrolysis and combustion of worn out tyres are increasing options for their energetic valorization. In the present paper the elemental analysis and calorific values of a tyre are presented. Results from TG-MS/TG-GC-MS analyzer and labscale reactor tests are also reported. From the thermal decomposition of the tyre, a gas (20%), a tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO, 40%) and a solid char (40%) resulted. The TPO calorific values, HHV and LHV, resulted 49.5 and 46.7 MJ/kg, while for solid char were 34.7 and 33.7 MJ/kg, respectively. An example of process application is also presented in this paper.
