Pyrolysis has been done on different waste items like plastics, peels of fruits etcetera in order to generate capacity fuel for overcoming fuel crisis on different scales. So, we opted to work and study the effect of pyrolysis on the waste tyres. We took motorbike tyre where tyre material we know comprise of carbon black, Sulphur, metal, EPA, benzene, SBR etcetera.  After performing proximate analysis and calorific value test we utilized pyrolysis process along with activity of catalyst on the raw material. This method comprises of a simple reactor provided with thermocouples and heaters for maintaining different temperature ranges in different zones. We experimented with 20g sample each time for 15 experiments and studied effect of calcium oxide and sodium carbonate on the production of oil from pyrolysis of waste tyres. Oil production on this scale is almost 15% of the total feed entered at different temperatures. Production of oil has no fixed trend but it was evident that there was optimum condition in the production of oil from waste tyre.

It was found that calorific value of tyre material is high as compared to coal, so argument proves it to be a strong fuel as compared to coal. As I worked with 2 catalysts (5 experiments each) and 5 experiments without catalysts so from my research it was clear that between temperature range of 350-550 C the production of oil was maximum while using a catalyst but without catalyst the production increases with increase in temperature. This oil produced can be utilized after desulphurization and purification as an alternate fuel for industries and automobiles.
