Carbon black preparation by partial oxidation of spent tyre pyrolysis oil - Influence of temperature, residence time and oxygen to feed ratio.

Preparation of carbon black (CB) by partial oxidation of the spent tyre pyrolysis oil (STPO) and its heavy residue fraction (HRF) was systematically studied using a lab-scale drop tube furnace. The effect of furnace operating temperature (T: 1100 to 1400 °C), residence time (t: 5 to 60 s) and oxygen to feed ratio (O/F: 174 to 732) on the yield and quality of CB was examined using the response surface methodology (RSM). T was shown to have the most significant influence on CB yield and properties.

An investigation into the preparation of carbon black by partial oxidation of spent tyre pyrolysis oil.

To promote the use of recycled waste materials as an industrial feedstock, this study examined the preparation of carbon black (CB) by partial oxidation of a spent tyre pyrolysis oil using a drop tube furnace. The effect of reaction temperature, the residence time of gas in the reactor and inlet gas oxygen concentration on the yield and properties of the CB were evaluated. The surface chemistry, chemical composition, morphological and thermal properties of the CB samples were characterised using XPS, EA, TEM, BET, and TGA, respectively.
