Tyre pyrolysis is where tyre waste undergoes thermochemical decomposition at high temperatures in an inert oxygen-free atmosphere to yield recovered Carbon Black, pyrolytic oil, and pyrolytic gas.
Without oxygen, the polymers in tyre wastes don’t burn. The heat catalyses chemical reactions to break down the vulcanising bonds in the rubber granulates. Since 85% of tyre components are petroleum- or polymer-based, pyrolytic oil and gas are two major by-products.
The Carbon Black is a valuable alternative material that can be used to manufacture new tyres instead of medium-grade virgin Carbon Black produced from fossil fuels.
The high-quality pyrolysis oil can be used as vehicle fuel or to produce fine-grade virgin Carbon Black for tyre manufacturing.
Tyre pyrolysis adapts the well-known process to specifically recycle end-of-life tires since each feedstock needs a different temperature and treatment time.
Three main types of pyrolysis exist — slow, fast, and flash.
Tire pyrolysis is the most environmentally friendly and safe method to dispose of tyres.
It produces few poisonous pollutants and has a low carbon footprint compared to other methods — landfilling, incineration for energy, open burning, or rubber granulate civil engineering applications.
