Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the waste tyre pyrolysis process and the applications of the derived products. The study reports the characteristics of used tyre materials and methods of recycling, types and principles of pyrolysis, the pyrolysis products and their composition. Pyrolysis is considered as a useful technique for recycling of scrap tyres by using which liquid, gases, carbon black and steel wires are obtained. This technology could not only reasonably and effectively dispose waste tyre and tube without pollution, but also is effective in producing fuel that can reduce energy crisis. The primary and secondary applications of oil, char, gas and steel wires are discussed.
