Abstract

Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of scrap automotive tires allows recovery of energy and useful materials, such as pyrolytic oil, char and gases. Scrap tire were being heated in inert atmosphere at temperature between 400 and 600°C to produce liquid fuel. Tire pyrolytic oil obtained possessed high calorific value in range of 42.09 – 43.67MJ/kg. The benefit of this thermal treatment was conversion of waste material into high calorific pyrolytic oil, which could be burnt directly in an unmodified diesel engine. Moreover, tire pyrolytic oil was blended with petroleum diesel and biodiesel at different volume ratio for performance and exhaust emissions study. Engine performance such as engine torque, engine brake power, brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency were examined with different blend ratio of fuel. Results showed that neat tire pyrolytic oil give an average of 7.93% lower torque and emission of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2), at an average of 207.4%, 201.7%, 1301.5% and 580.7% higher, respectively than that of petroleum diesel fuel. Meanwhile, neat tire pyrolytic oil showed an average of 12.84% higher torque and emission of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2), at an average of 369.6%, 1601.9%, 46.36% and 640.3% higher, respectively than that of palm biodiesel fuel.
