What materials are suitable for recycling into fuel by pyrolysis reactor?

Pyrolysis technology can process various types of waste materials environmentally friendly, which can not only recycle them to profitable fuel products, but also solve environmental problems efficiently. Then let's have a detailed discussion about what materials are suitable for recycling into fuel by pyrolysis reactor:

1. Solid waste

The common solid waste which is suitable for recycling into fuel by pyrolysis reactor mainly includes rubber and plastic.

(1) Rubber

For rubbers, the commonly used materials include rubber powder, big car/truck tires, small car/bicycle tires, rubber soles, rubber cable sheath, and unclassified rubbers, etc., whose oil yield is generally between 35%~52%. The waste rubbers can be recycled into fuel oil, carbon black and some combustible gas. Especially for waste tires, we can also obtain 15% steel wires, which can be sold directly for profits.

(2) Plastic

The most commonly used waste plastics for recycling into fuel by pyrolysis reactor are PP, PE, PS, ABS Plastics, paper mill waste, plastic cable sheath, plastic household garbage, etc.For pure plastic, the oil yield can up to 80%; for mixed plastic, usually the oil yield is 50%-60%. However, PVC and PET are not suitable for recycling into fuel.

Aluminum plastics in our daily life

In addition, aluminum plastic is another popular plastic for recycling into fuel, whose oil yield is about 50%. Apart from fuel oil and carbon black, we can also obtain aluminum ingot, which can be used to make various aluminum products like aluminum tubes and aluminum alloys.

2. Hazardous waste

This category mainly includes oil sludge, oil sand, drilling mud, petroleum sludge, tank bottom sludge and coal tar oil residue, etc., which can be recycled into fuel, carbon black and combustible gas. The oil yield of these materials mainly depends on the oil content in your material.

Solid and hazardous waste which is suitable for recycling into fuel

In conclusion, all this waste can obtain fuel, carbon black and combustible gas, which can generate huge profits for us. In terms of fuel, it can be used in boiler heating, cement factories, steel factories and heavy oil generator; carbon black can be used as heating fuel or refined to make rubber products and paints; combustible gas can heat pyrolysis reactor directly to reduce cost or be used to generate electricity.

Now that you have learned what materials are suitable for recycling into fuel by pyrolysis reactor, if you want to carry out a pyrolysis project to recycle waste into fuel, the next step is to choose the appropriate pyrolysis plant based on your raw materials.
