“…Royet al (1993) described a vacuum pyrolysis process for recovering materials and a fuel oil from automobile shredder residue. Sharp and Ness ( 1993) discussed the recovery of ferrous and nonferrous fractions by shredding scrap automobiles to a material which was less than 4 inches in size and composed of approximately 50% organic and 50% inorganic fractions. Utsu ( 1993) described the sequential recovery of oils and metals from scrap automobiles.…”

“…The organic fraction (plastics and other polymeric materials) of shredded automobiles was gasified to produce a fuel gas for power generation (Deguchi, 1991). A steam-gasification process that could be used for automobile shredder residue was investigated using an ebonite waste (Sharp and Ness, 1991). Braslaw et al ( 1991) found that the pyrolysis of nonmetallic automobile shredder wastes produced many hydrocarbon compounds that might prevent their direct use as a fuel without purification.…”

The pyrolysis of automobile shredder residue (ASR) has been studied using a laboratory scale screw kiln reactor with a feed rate of about 100 g h − 1. Pyrolysis at temperatures between 500 and 750°C resulted in the production of gas, liquid and solid fractions with hydrocarbon yields of the organic fraction present in the feed increasing from 60 -85% with increasing pyrolysis temperature. While the hydrocarbon pyrolysis product yield increased with pyrolysis temperature, the yield of the oil fraction was higher at the lower pyrolysis temperatures. The composition of the pyrolysis oil also changed with pyrolysis temperature, containing larger quantities of aliphatic compounds at the lower temperatures than at higher temperatures where aromatics were the major compounds. Many of the liquid pyrolysis products have been identified including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as organo nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine compounds. The data obtained have been compared with that obtained from a process using short pyrolysis residence times.
