: Pyrolysis of scrap tyres

Resonance disintegration produces ultrafine carbon products from pyrolysis char.

Another possibility is to use pyrolysis char as activated carbon.

The pyrolysis process flow is shown in figure 6.

(ii) Water pollution Tyre combustion causes pyrolysis of the rubber, resulting in oily decomposition waste.

Finally, there have also been difficulties in obtaining markets for scrap steel recovered from pyrolysis.

(f) Pyrolysis Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation process carried out in the absence of oxygen or under conditions in which the concentration of oxygen is sufficiently low not to cause combustion.

For all these reasons, it is expected that pyrolysis will play only a limited role in scrap tyre management.

(d) Wastes from incineration or pyrolysis of waste, including solid wastes from gas treatment, bottom ash, slag, fly ash and boiler dust;
