A study on the recovery of useful components from waste tire. This study was carried out investigate the recovery of fuel oil condensed from gases formed in the pyrolysis of waste tire. Energy to require the pyrolysis of waste tire was used the heat that was produced by the combustion of the gases from the pyrolysis of waste tire itself. The results are as follows; 1. Energy to require forming the fuel oil by the pyrolysis of waste tire was used only 1/6 quantities of waste tire for forming fuel oil. 2. The formed fuel oil were light oil, Kerosene and gasoline 3. The pollutants of combustion gas of patronizable gases was lower than standard Value.

In this paper, some representative waste tire pyrolysis were investigated together with the analysis of the problems associated with the commercialization of various waste tire treatment technologies. Also, R & D results on recovering the oil from the pyrolysis of waste tires, when waste oil was used as a heating medium, were summarized in this study. Experimental results show that the present pyrolysis process has both lower pyrolytic temperature and higher pyrolysis rate than usual one and that the quality of the product oil and residue obtained was relatively even with large availability.

Compared to other waste, waste tire has much discharge quantity and calorie. When we use waste heat from waste tire, it can be definitely better substitute energy than coal and anthracite in high oil price age. To use as a basic data for providing low cost and highly effective heating system, following conclusion was founded. Annual waste tire production was 19,596 million in 1999, Recycling ratio was almost 55% and more than 8.78 million was stored. Waste tire has lower than 1.5% sulfur contain ratio which is resource of an pollution, So it is a waste fuel which can be combustion based on current exhaust standard value without any extra SOx exclusion materials. Waste tire has 9,256Kcal/kg calorific value and it is higher than waste rubber, waste rubber, waste energy as same as B-C oil. When primary and second air quantity was 1.6, 8.0 Nm$^3$/min, dry gas production time was 270min and total combustion time was 360 min. In the SOx, NOx, HC of air pollution material density were lower than exhaust standard value at the back of cyclone and dusty than exhaust standard value without dust collector.

This study was initiated in order to find alternative fuel substituting for light oil the most common fuel for heating greenhouse. The tire oil used in this research was produced by pyrolysis process, one of the final products besides steel string and carbon black in which waste tires as a form of chopped pieces broken by shredding machine are heated up to 200~30$0^{\circ}C$ with maximum restraining of oxygen supply. In order to justify light oil equivalent qualities in tire oil combustion characteristics were defined in the way of comparing kinetic viscosities in the wide range of temperature flame sizes and exhaust gas components in the various combustion conditions. We found that kinetic viscosity of tire oil was lower than light oil by 1 to 2 cSt in the temperature range showing better flowing mobility in the fuel line of the burner and no significant difference in flame size between the two oils in the all combustion treatments. However much more NO and SO$_2$ were detected from the exhaust gases of tire oil than light oil combustions. In fact tire oil contains more nitrogen and total sulfur, by 25 times and 40 times respectively than light oil according to the composition analysis. Tolerable limit for SO$_2$discharge amount defined by the national air pollution standards is under 540ppm so tire oil combustion satisfies the requirement though. It is desirable if sulfur and nitrogen filtering process shall be added in the tire oil production line. Except the exhaust gas components all greenhouse heating qualities of tire oil including hot air temperature are very identical to those of light oil.

A series of microwave waste tire pyrolysis experiments were conducted using a lab-scale batch reactor to delineate the effects of microwave ouput power on the pyrolysis behavior of waste tire. As results of experiments, it was found that as the microwave output power was increased from 1.22 kW/kg to 2.26 kW/kg, the reaction temperature and oil yield increased significantly and the required time and microwave power consumption decreased remarkably, respectively. With increased power consumption, the content of the fixed carbon of pyrolysis residue increased.

Commercial rubber(IR, NR, BR), SBR, and tire were degraded by thermal degradation process. The oil yield of rubbers and tire ranges about 37~86%, it was increased with increase of operation temperature in pyrolysis. And the yield of pyrolytic oil was increased with increase of heating rate. The maximum oil yields of IR, NR, BR, SBR, and tire were 80, 73, 83, 86 and 55% each at $700^{\circ}C$ with a heating rate of $20^{\circ}C$/min, respectively. The pyrolytic oil components were consisted of about 50 aromatic compounds. The calorific value of purolytic oil of commercial rubber, SBR, and tire was measured by calorimeter, it was 39~40 kJ/g. The BET surface area of pyroblack was $47~63m^2/g$. The optimum condition of pyrolysis was operating temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ with heating rate of $20^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the pyrolytic oil and pyroblack are possible to alternative fuel and carbon black.

The pyrolytic behavior of waste tire under microwave heating was investigated. Experiments were conducted using a lab- and bench-scale system to delineate the effects of microwave output power on the response. As the results of experiments, it was found that as the microwave output power was increased between 0.84 and 3.04 kW/kg, the oil yield and required time rapidly increased and decreased, respectively. With further increase of the microwave output power, the oil yield and required time did not change significantly.

In this study, waste tire rubbers were pyrolyzed in a lab-scale pyrolysis plant equipped with a fluidized bed reactor in a temperature ranges of $450-650^{\circ}C$. The main object of this work is to investigate the properties of pyrolysis oil with reaction temperatures and the behavior of sulfur in the products when waste polypropylene was added for co-pyrolysis. The maximum yield of oil was about 52wt.% at the reaction temperature of $456^{\circ}C$. From GC-MS analysis, the pyrolysis oils consisted mainly of limonene, toluene, xylene, styrene, trimethylbenzene, methylnaphthalenes and some heteroatom(sulfur and nitrogen)-containing compounds. The addition of waste polypropylene resulted in decrease in sulfur contents of the pyrolysis oils.

The thermochemical recycling of waste tires by pyrolysis is studied to recover the value added three by-products; a pyrolytic carbon black, a pyrolytic oil, and a non-condensable gas. The exhausted energy from pyrolysis of waste tires is converted for electricity power and process steam in cogeneration system. The characteristics of the pyrolysis recovered by-products as alternative energy resource are investigated with the design of a demonstration and a commercialization plant including cogeneration system, as called integrated pyrolysis cogeneration system.
