Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Plastic & Tyres (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783847375555)

Catalytic pyrolysis has the potential of transforming used plastic and tyres into useful chemicals. Used plastic and Scrap tyres represent a major environmental problem. Catalytic Pyrolysis is an environmentally friendly process to transform used polymers into useful products likes gas, oil and pyrolytic carbon black. Tyre recycling has become a necessity because of the huge piles of tyres that represent a threat to the environment. The used tyres represent a source of energy and valuable chemical products. Waste tyres & plastic were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. The objective of the present study was to convert waste plastic and used tyres catalytically at relatively low temperature as well as to derive oil in the boiling range of commercial fuel oil.
