What is the best method to dispose waste tyre?

Recently, the world’s largest tyre factory in Kuwait caught fire and smoke billowed suddenly. This incident brought the issue of waste tyre disposal back to the public’s attention.

Fire broke out in Kuwait

Waste tyres are called "black garbage", which contain more than 150 chemical substances such as rubber, polymers, carbon black, and petroleum additives. If the waste tyres are just piled together without disposal and recycling, under high temperature and heating conditions, the tyres are prone to produce volatile gas, which will cause harm to human health through the respiratory tract. Moreover, once a large-scale fire of used tyres catches up, it is difficult to extinguish it. A large amount of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides will be released during the combustion process, which will pollute the atmosphere.

Some experts pointed out that the "tyre fire" in Kuwait may have an impact on the global ecology. Therefore, from all angles, we must find the best method to dispose waste tyres. Judging from the policies and practical results of various countries, pyrolysis is the best method to dispose waste tyres, with high economic and environmental benefits. It is an important direction for the resource treatment of waste tyres in the future, which can truly turn waste tyres from "black garbage" into "black gold".

Pyrolysis is a chemical process that decomposes high-molecular compounds into low-molecular compounds in a closed, anaerobic, and high-temperature environment. Through a series of operations such as high-temperature pyrolysis, cooling into oil, and exhaust gas purification, the waste tyres are decomposed into fuel oil, carbon black and steel. These materials are hot recyclable materials, especially fuel oil and carbon black, they have a broad market in the current situation of rising international crude oil prices and fuel shortages.
