In general, the volume of used tires in Russia is estimated at about 50 million pieces per year. When a tonne of tires is burnt, about 270 kg of soot and 450 kg of toxic gases are released into the atmosphere. Benzopyrene, soot, dioxin, furan, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, chromium, cadmium, etc. are emitted into the air.
Pyrolysis of tires today is the most economical and environmentally friendly method of their disposal, since it not only solves the issue of recycling, but also allows to get fuel literally from garbage.
Low-temperature pyrolysis enables to decompose the tires into their component parts, each of which can be used for certain purposes. Tire recycling by pyrolysis has long been used in European countries, because in addition to environmentally friendly disposal, this type of processing can bring a very good profit.
