TL;DR: In this paper, the pilot-scale pyrolysis of scrap tires in a continuous rotary kiln reactor was investigated at temperatures between 450 and 650 °C, and the char yield remained constant with a mean of 39.2−42.8 wt %.
Abstract: The pilot-scale pyrolysis of scrap tires in a continuous rotary kiln reactor was investigated at temperatures between 450 and 650 °C. As the reactor temperature increased, the char yield remained constant with a mean of 39.8 wt %. The oil yield reached a maximum value of 45.1 wt % at 500 °C. The pyrolytic derived oils can be used as liquid fuels because of their high heating value (40−42 MJ/kg), excellent viscosity (1.6−3.7 cS), and reasonable sulfur content (0.97−1.54 wt %). The true-boiling-point distillation test showed that there was a 39.2−42.3 wt % light naphtha fraction in the pyrolytic oil. The volatile aromatics were quantified in the naphtha fraction using gas chromatography−mass spectrometry. The maximum concentrations of benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, and limonene in the oil were 2.09 wt %, 7.24 wt %, 2.13 wt %, and 5.44 wt %, respectively. The abundant presence of aromatic groups was also confirmed by functional group Fourier transform infrared analysis. The concentration of polycyclic ar...

TL;DR: In this paper, an energy audit analysis of a dry type rotary kiln system working in a cement plant in Turkey was conducted and it was found that about 40% of the total input energy was being lost through hot flue gas (19.15%), cooler stack (5.61%), and kiln shell (15.11% convection plus radiation).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the main methods for utilising waste is its use as an energy source, and the main method for using waste is to use as a fuel if it has a chemical energy content, depending most of all on the size of the combustible fraction and on the moisture content.
