Abstract
With the raising of environmental awareness, waste tyres recycling receives more attention. In this study, slow pyrolysis of waste tyres was conducted in a low tonnage industrial unit. Pyrolytic oil was separated by a single condensation atmospheric distillation into 3 fractions: gasoline fraction (boiling below 140°C), fraction boiling at the range of 140-200°C, and fraction boiling above 200°C. The obtained fractions were analyzed by chemical composition and potential use as a fuel component. The fraction boiling over 200°C, obtained with the highest yield of 78 wt.% meets all the requirements for the fuel oil pointed out in DSTU 4058-2001, PN-C-96024:2011, ISO 8217:2017, while lower boiling fractions may be an interesting raw material for the aromatics production (as styrene or limonene).
