“…Zeolite is a microporous solid catalyst which is extensively used in catalytic pyrolysis of tyre rubber. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), perlites, and zeolites and their family including ZSM-5 and ultrastable Y-type zeolite (USY) are other common catalysts used in tyre pyrolysis [125,126]. Several types of research have been conducted to investigate the catalytic pyrolysis of scrap tyres.…”

Abstract:This article provides a review of different methods for managing waste tyres. Around 1.5 billion scrap tyres make their way into the environmental cycle each year, so there is an extreme demand to manage and mitigate the environmental impact which occurs from landfilling and burning. Numerous approaches are targeted to recycle and reuse the tyre rubber in various applications. Among them, one of the most important methods for sustainable environmental stewardship is converting tyre rubber components into bio-oil. In this study, scrap tyre management techniques including landfill, retreading, recycling, combustion, and conversion to liquid fuels was reviewed (including gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction, and pyrolysis). The effects of parameters such as reactor types, pyrolysis temperature, and catalyst on the oil, gas and solid products in pyrolysis process were investigated.

“…Biofuels have attracted remarkable attention as a sustainable energy source [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Recently, microalgae are considered as a technically and economically viable alternative energy resource having advantages such as: (1) perennial production capability; (2) appropriate land use and growth conditions; and (3) high oil content.…”

Abstract:Microalgae is a promising next-generational energy. In this research, we focus on oil-extracted Botryococcus braunii residues collected by adding polysilicato-iron (PSI) as a flocculant followed by carbonization under argon atmosphere. We conducted carbonization at various temperatures as a first attempt to reveal the fundamental properties of the carbonization process of the microbes. The carbons thus obtained by heat treatment at 900 • C present a unique magnetic behavior due to reduced magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) inclusion, which is produced from polysilicato iron (Fe 2 O 3 ) during the heating process. Experimental results suggest that this carbonic material can be applied as a heavy metal-capturing carbon and magnetic porous substrate catalyst. The effective use of the waste may open a new avenue for an energy-microbiology-materials system.

“…Al-MCM-41 significantly changed the composition of bio-oil, increasing the yields of phenols, hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons (PAH), while M a n u s c r i p t decreasing the yields of oxygenated carbonyl and acid compounds [34,37]. Al-MCM-41 also induced selective cracking and deoxygenation reactions of large molecules (derived from lignin) in pyrolysis vapours.…”

Catalytic pyrolysis experiments have been carried out on Brunei Rice Husk (BRH) to obtain bio-oil using a fixed-bed pyrolysis rig. ZSM-5, Al-MCM-41, Al-MSU-F and Brunei rice husk ash (BRHA) were used as the catalysts for the catalytic pyrolysis experiments and comparison was done to analyse the changes in the bio-oil properties and yield. Properties of the liquid catalytic and non-catalytic bio-oil were analysed in terms of water content, pH, acid number, viscosity, density and calorific value. The bio-oil chemical composition shows that ZSM-5 increases the production of aromatic hydrocarbons and light phenols, whilst Al-MCM-41 reduces the acetic acid production. The catalytic runs increased the calorific value and water content in the bio-oil, whilst viscosity, density and acid number is decreased.
