In this study, pyrolysis of shredded waste tire was carried out thermally and catalytically in a fixed bed reactor. Thermal pyrolysis was performed at temperatures of 330 °C, 430 °C, 530 °C, and 630 °C under Ar. flow rate of 0.5 L/min as a carrier gas and retention time of 15 min catalytic pyrolysis was carried out at temperature of 530 °C. The effects of temperature and two types of catalysts (CaCO 3 and SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ) were studied on the yield of pyrolysis products. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the oil products that were obtained by thermal and catalytic pyrolysis at 530 °C for chemical characterization. Oil, solid, and gas products yield by thermal pyrolysis at 530 °C were 50 wt. %, 35.6 wt. %, and 14.4 wt. % respectively, when the CaCO 3 catalyst was used, the products distribution was 52 wt. %, 38.5 wt. %, and 9.5 wt. % respectively. While using SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 the pyro oil, and char, and gas were decreased to 47 wt. %, 38 wt. %, and 15 wt. % respectively. The chemical composition of pyrolysis oil mainly included hydrocarbons compounds, predominantly Limonene which was represented by Cyclohexene, 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
