Environmental and Economic Benefits of Waste Tire Pyrolysis Technology
The landfilling and incineration of waste tires have severe environmental consequences. Buried tires do not decompose naturally, and the incineration process releases harmful substances into the atmosphere. As a result, waste tire recycling technologies, particularly pyrolysis technology, are gaining attention as sustainable alternatives.
Pyrolysis technology not only enables resource recovery but also reduces CO₂ emissions and decreases landfill waste, making it a more eco-friendly solution compared to traditional incineration methods. Furthermore, this process produces high-value by-products that can be utilized across various industries.
One of the most significant economic advantages of pyrolysis technology is its ability to recover high-quality recycled carbon black (rCB). Carbon black is a key raw material in tire and rubber manufacturing, and replacing virgin carbon black with rCB not only reduces raw material costs but also maximizes environmental benefits.
Currently, tire manufacturers are integrating eco-friendly rCB obtained through pyrolysis into their production processes, enhancing sustainability while reducing production costs.
Challenges in the Pyrolysis Industry
The waste tire pyrolysis industry faces several technical and economic challenges related to commercialization and quality assurance.
1. Issues with Recycled Carbon Black (rCB) Quality
-
Impurities generated during the pyrolysis process degrade the quality of recycled carbon black (rCB), leading to reduced surface area and structural damage.
-
As a result, rCB has lower performance compared to virgin carbon black (vCB), making commercial applications difficult.
2. Operational and Economic Challenges
-
Reactor and pipeline blockages make continuous operation challenging, reducing process stability.
-
Accumulated steel cords from tires can cause structural deformations in the equipment over time, leading to failures in transport mechanisms such as screws.
-
The initial facility investment cost for pyrolysis is significantly higher than traditional incineration methods, and technical challenges make large-scale facility expansion difficult.
-
High operational costs and low economic feasibility hinder industrial scalability and growth.
