Performance and emissions of an automotive diesel engine using a tire pyrolysis liquid blend

Co-pyrolysis of biomass with waste tyres: Upgrading of liquid bio-fuel

“…In addition, it is worth highlighting that some physico-chemical properties of the tyre pyrolysis liquids are fairly comparable to those found in commercial automotive diesel fuels, as shown in Table 1. These facts, together with their miscibility with diesel fuel [11] have encouraged their use as a replacement for conventional liquid fuels in compression ignition engines as showed in [12][13][14].…”

Study of a residential boiler under start-transient conditions using a tire pyrolysis liquid (TPL)/diesel fuel blend

“…Authors explained this pattern mainly to the higher nitrogen content of the TPL. Previous studies using an automotive diesel engine have showed higher NOx concentrations for a TPL/diesel blend (5/95 vol.%) than those for diesel fuel in three steady operating modes [6]. The higher aromatic content and the lower H/C ratio of the 50/50 blend (see Table 1) may also contribute to the NOx increase on account of the higher adiabatic flame temperature of these compounds, as reported by Glaude et al [29].…”

“…The tire pyrolysis liquid (TPL) can be a prominent alternative to the use of fossil fuels in diesel engines, as previously published [6,7]. Additionally, it can be used for heating and other energy-demanding industrial processes.…”

Waste Pyrolysis Tire Oil as Alternative fuel for Diesel Engines

“…Since, rubber from tires has high calorific value (35-40 MJ/kg) [3] and as well as, considerable amount of carbon black makes them a good feedstock for fuel production.…”
