Abstract
In recent years, pyrolysis has proven to be an effective thermochemical process for the recycling of waste tires. After pyrolysis, three fractions are obtained: carbonaceous solids, liquid hydrocarbons, and the so-called noncondensable gases. In this paper, the starting point is the pyrolysis reactor outlet that provides a gas stream with a temperature of 600 °C and a pressure of 2 bar, comprising both the condensable and the noncondensable fractions. Although the pyrolysis process is technically and environmentally feasible, its economic viability will clearly depend on the possible salability or use of the three main derived products. Focusing on liquid hydrocarbons, usually the most abundant and valuable fraction, they are a mixture of aliphatic, aromatic, and polar compounds with a boiling point ranging between approximately 70 and 400 °C. Therefore, it is difficult to find possible applications different from their direct combustion without a purification or separation step for their commercializati...
