Thermal plasma pyrolysis of used old tires for production of syngas

Waste Tires Disposal by Thermal Plasma for Power Generation and Carbon Black Recovery

“…The main gas components are H 2 , CO, C 2 H 2 , CH 4 , C 2 H 4 , etc. ; the heat value of the gas ranges from 5 to 9 MJ/Nm 3 , in agreement with the report by Chang et al [8]. In run No.…”

Water Plasmas for Environmental Application

“…Waste decomposition using thermal plasmas has been reported for various kinds of wastes, such as halogenated hydrocarbon [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) [24,25], hydrocarbon [26][27][28], polymer [29][30][31], organic waste [28,[32][33][34][35][36][37], used tires [38][39][40], and medical waste [41,42]. Waste materials can be efficiently degraded by thermal plasmas under reducing or oxidizing conditions.…”

Portable application of thermal plasma and arc discharge for waste treatment, thermal spraying and surface treatment

“…The plasma torch is a very effective heating device. The thermal plasma and arc discharge heating technology are appropriate and essential for waste treatment and for environmental remediation and protection [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Figure 1 shows the temperature distribution of a twin-torch plasma arc [20] with 100 A current.…”

“…Many applications have been developed such as lighting, welding, cutting, melting, circuit breakers, and waste treatment [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In the field of materials development for thermal plasma processing, special research and development are underway on machining and high-melting-point metals.…”
