TL;DR: A comparative study of a steam gasification process applied to three different waste types, with the aim of comparing the corresponding yields and product compositions and exploring the most valuable uses of the by-products.

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the waste tyre gasification with steam as oxidizing agent seems promising in view of obtaining a good quality syngas, indicating that a higher temperature results in a higher syngAs production and a lower char yield, due to an enhancement of the solid-gas phase reactions with the temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of experimental surveys on RDF gasification with steam, performed by means of a bench-scale rotary kiln plant at different process temperatures, using thermogravimetry (TG) and infrared spectrometry (Fourier transform infrared, FTIR) to characterize the incoming material and online gas chromatography to qualify the gaseous stream.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained for the study of tyre waste pyrolysis, conducted by means of thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG) of the material and the simultaneous determination, through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and mass spectrometry (MS), of the decomposition products.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined process of scrap tire steam gasification and syngas catalytic reforming is proposed to explore the possible utilization of syngasse for alternative thermal processes, such as pyrolysis and gasification.
