Hydrotreatment of pyrolysis oil from waste tire in tetralin for production of high-quality hydrocarbon rich fuel

Pyrolysis is a green method for waste tires processing with aim to produce oil. However, the resulting oil contains a relatively large amount of sulfur and nitrogen compounds, limiting its direct use. Therefore, this study aimed to improve properties of the waste tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) particular to reduce the N and S contents. The combination of tetralin and H2 was employed to provide hydrogen source to enhance the hydrotreatment of the TPO....
