Characterization of liquid products of automobile tire pyrolysis

Аннотация

The liquid product of automobile tire pyrolysis and its fractions were studied. The amount of the liquid hydrocarbon fraction is 40–45% of the total weight of pyrolysis products. The hydrocarbon fraction is similar in its characteristics to low-sulfur heavy crude oil. Fractionation of the hydrocarbon fuel was performed. The maximal yield of the light distillation fraction is 39% (temperature interval 180–340°C). The extent to which the characteristics of the light fraction obtained meet the regulations was evaluated. The light fraction of hydrocarbon fuel produced by pyrolysis is recommended for use as a component of diesel motor fuel after additional purification.
