In this study a new approach in heating system for pyrolysis technology to the recovery of liquid hydrocarbons from solid tire wastes has been developed.A fixed-bed fire-tube heating pyrolysis reactor system has been designed and fabricated considering all of the process parameters.The solid tire wastes were pyrolysed in the reactor under N 2 atmosphere.The highest liquid product yield was obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 475 o C for feed size of 4 cm 3 and vapor residence time of 5 sec.The tire pyrolysis liquids have been characterized including fuel properties, elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, GC-MS analysis and distillation.The fuel properties of the pyrolytic liquids encourage their use as replacements for conventional liquid fuels.The analytical results of the 475 o C liquids showed that the tire-derived liquids are a complex mixture of C 5 -C 16 organic compounds, with a lot of high value light hydrocarbon limonene, single ring alkyl-aromatics and long-chain hydrocarbons.The present research result shows a better solution for energy and environment.
