  Abstract

Waste tires have both sides which are contamination and reuse concern with environmental problems. In this study, tire pyrolysis was conducted to convert combustible gases using thermal plasma. Production of combustible gases was found by gas chromatography after thermal plasma pyrolysis of waste tires without oxygen. The combustible gases consist of low molecular hydrocarbons such as CH4, C2H2, C4H10 etc. As tire feed rate increased, the composition of CH4 in the gases was increased. As plasma power increased, the composition of C2H2 was increased. C2H2 and C4H10 were dominant and had the ratio over 70% in the gases. On the other hand the trends of pyrolysis was characterized in the thermal plasma from the results of TG analysis which shows the currents of decomposition of the char according to the temperature.
