Method and apparatus for the pyrolysis of waste products

TLDR
In this paper, an approach for pyrolysis of waste material such as old tyres in which cuttings of the waste material are fed to a reactor vessel and heated under sub-atmospheric pressure by an outside heat source, the decomposition products being given off mainly in the form of gases.
Abstract
Apparatus and method for the pyrolysis of waste material such as old tyres in which cuttings of the waste material are fed to a reactor vessel and heated under sub-atmospheric pressure by an outside heat source, the decomposition products being given off mainly in the form of gases. Some of the gas is burnt to provide the heat.

Waste tyre pyrolysis – A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review has been carried out in order to show the effects of the main process conditions (heating rate, temperature, pressure, carrier gas flow rate and type, volatiles residence time and pyrolysis time) on physicochemical properties and distributions of the resulting products (gas, liquid and solid fractions).
Patent

Process for recovering carbon black and hydrocarbons from used tires

TL;DR: In this article, used tires are physically fragmented and the fragments are pyrolized at slightly sub-mospheric pressure in a reactor while process char is being recycled to increase heat transfer and avoid coke on heat transfer surfaces.
Patent

Method and apparatus for the pyrolysis of waste products

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for use in processing waste materials of various kinds and for reclaiming useable by-product materials from the pyrolized waste materials was presented, where waste materials were efficiently dehydrated prior to their introduction into the pyrolysis retort using microwaves generated by a large microwave generator.
Patent

Apparatus for obtaining hydrocarbons from rubber tires and from industrial and residential waste

TL;DR: In this article, an elongated tube is maintained at a temperature of about 1100° F throughout its length, with the material being churned or tumbled as by means of a screw conveyor.
Patent

Method and apparatus for treatment of waste

TL;DR: An apparatus for treating waste material that comprises four major cooperating subsystems, namely, a pyrolytic converter, a two-stage thermal oxidizer, a steam generator and a steam turbine, is described in this paper.

Apparatus for processing heat-decomposable non-gaseous materials

TL;DR: In this article, a method for assisting in the transference by condicating an additional amount of energy to the MATERIALs being processed, and to assist in the burst of a portion of the DECOMPOSITION GASES produced by PYROLYSIS, is presented.
Patent

Apparatus and technique for incinerating solid fuels containing carbonizable material

TL;DR: In this article, a furnace is provided having preliminary and post incineration chambers in which the atmosphere is adapted for combustion of the fuel therein, and the fuel is introduced into the post-incineration chamber through the preliminary incineration chamber, while the atmosphere within the chambers is pressurized.
