“…While 2.7 millions tons are considered to be ELTs the rest are reused, exported or retreaded [1]. European legislation on waste tyres has become more stringent since the year 2000 and, as a consequence, the amount of waste tyres has declined while the valorization of the material has been favoured either due to the greater number of uses for tyre crumbs or to the increasing use of this material in the production of energy [2].…”

“…and the composition of the raw material (tyre). The published experimental results of tyre pyrolysis indicate 60%-70% mass loss attributed to volatile products, including 5 -20% of mass loss due to noncondensable gaseous products (Wilson, 2013;Antoniou and Zabaniotou, 2013). According to the results of Miranda et al(2013) obtained during experiments carried out in an autoclave heated to 350 ºC -450 ºC, the fraction of gaseous (noncondensable) products was 5%.…”

“…Characteristics and comparison of different reactor types and conditions for the tyre pyrolysis process were broadly and synthetically presented in many review papers (e.g. Wilson, 2013;Antoniou and Zabaniotou, 2013). The published results indicate increase of non-condensable gaseous products typically from 4 -5% to 25 -30% if the final temperature in the reactor is increased from 350 -400 ºC to 700 -900 ºC.…”

A mathematical model of waste tyre pyrolysis process is developed in this work. Tyre material decomposition based on a simplified reaction mechanism leads to main product lumps: noncondensable (gas), condensable (pyrolytic oil) and solid (char). The model takes into account kinetics of heat and mass transfer in the grain of the shredded rubber material as well as surrounding gas phase. The main reaction routes were modelled as the pseudo-first order reactions with a rate constant calculated from the Arrhenius type equation using literature values of activation energy determined for main tyre constituents based on TG/DTG measurements and tuned pre-exponential parameter values obtained by fitting theoretical predictions to the experimental results obtained in our laboratory reactor. The model was implemented within the CFD software (ANSYS Fluent). The results of numerical simulation of the pyrolysis process revealed non-uniformity of sample's porosity and temperature. The simulation predictions were in satisfactory agreement with the experimentally measured mass loss of the tyre sample during pyrolysis process investigated in a laboratory reactor.

Abstract-Waste tyres have accumulated at landfills in South Africa, some are illegally dumped in open spaces or sold. This work discusses the waste tyre problem in South Africa as well as the environmental and economic benefits of waste tyre utilization for green fuels. The perceptions of government, industry and community on waste tyre management were investigated. To achieve the objectives a triangulation procedure was followed. This included personnel interviews, questionnaires and literature analysis. The research has shown that lack of knowledge particularly in the informal sector contributed to the waste tyre management problem. The lack of clear and focused legislation guiding the disposal and recycling of waste tyres remains a challenge. Pyrolysis was found to have the potential to address the waste tyre problem with the potential to reduce environmental impact and also contribute towards a green economy.
