Abstract
In this paper, the pyrolysis characteristics of waste tire rubber with catalyst addition were experimentally studied. Pyrolysis experimentations of waste tire rubber with either base, acid or Zeolite catalysts were performed in a Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer, a one-stage test rig and a two-stage test rig respectively. This is followed by analysis into the rates of pyrolysis reactions and the yields and distribution of the three-phase products using thermogravimetric infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results indicated that the transition metal chloride catalysts improved the reaction rate and were overall effective than the solid acid-base catalysts. Benzene and toluene yields were improved by all three catalysts in the primary pyrolysis, and the best performance was achieved at 550 °C and 600 °C with 30% NaOH. With ZSM-5 in the secondary pyrolysis, proportion of high calorific gases components as H2 and CH4 were increased, and the arylation and isomerization reactions were also promoted. The optimum aromatics yield was achieved at 600 °C and 50% ZSM condition. This study would provide a reference for resourceful utilization of waste tires.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering (Monthly, started in 1982) is the official journal of the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China and published by the Chemical Industry Press Co. Ltd. The aim of the journal is to develop the international exchange of scientific and technical information in the field of chemical engineering. It publishes original research papers that cover the major advancements and achievements in chemical engineering in China as well as some articles from overseas contributors.
The topics of journal include chemical engineering, chemical technology, biochemical engineering, energy and environmental engineering and other relevant fields. Papers are published on the basis of their relevance to theoretical research, practical application or potential uses in the industry as Research Papers, Communications, Reviews and Perspectives. Prominent domestic and overseas chemical experts and scholars have been invited to form an International Advisory Board and the Editorial Committee. It enjoys recognition among Chinese academia and industry as a reliable source of information of what is going on in chemical engineering research, both domestic and abroad.
