Characteristics of bio-oil produced by the pyrolysis of mixed waste tire and biomass

n this work, waste tire was co-pyrolyzed with biomass to investigate the effects of the waste tire on yield and chemical
compositions of bio-oil product. Biomass was mixed with waste tire in the mass ratios of 0:1, 1:10, 1:4, 1:1, 4:1, 10:1 and
1:0. The pyrolysis experiment was carried out by using a lab-scale pyrolysis reactor. The experimental results showed that
the addition of the waste tire led to an increase of bio-oil yield. The maximum of bio-oil yield was obtained at the waste tire/
biomass mass ratio of 1:10. The characteristics of the obtained oils were studied by elemental analyzer, FTIR and GC–MS.
It was found that the bio-oil obtained from the pyrolysis of mixed biomass and waste tire had higher carbon and hydrogen
content, lower oxygen content than those produced by the pyrolysis of biomass alone. Moreover, there were more aromatics
and aliphatic compounds in the obtained bio-oil product. These variations indicated that the existence of the waste tire
significantly influenced the chemical compositions of bio- product. These variations indicated that the existence of the waste
tire significantly influenced the chemical compositions of bio-oil.
