Abstract

Used tires are one of the wastes generated from both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Indonesia is one of the largest producers of used tire waste because vehicle users are increasing. The utilization of used tire waste is still very small, so a method is needed to convert used tire waste into valuable materials. One method that can be used to transform used tire waste is the pyrolysis method which can convert used tire waste into fuel. The pyrolysis process of waste tires uses raw materials from used tires that have been cut into pieces with a size of 10 × 10 cm. The waste tires used are two-wheeled (motorcycle) tires. This process uses temperatures in the range of 400-600 °C. The temperature
range is to find the most optimal operating temperature that can be used to convert used tire waste into liquid products without using a catalyst. Waste tires that have been cut to the desired size are put into a batch reactor of 2 kg and heated to a predetermined temperature of 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C for 1 hour. In this study, two types of products were obtained: liquid and solid. The liquid product results from the gas cooling process produced by using a condenser. Under these operating conditions, the yields of liquid products at temperatures of 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C were 39.32; 39.02; 42.58; 42.11; and 41.84 %wt, respectively. The process is carried out for 1 hour in the reactor by maintaining a predetermined operating temperature. The solid product obtained is residual pyrolysis charcoal which cannot be decomposed with the yield obtained at temperatures of 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C, respectively, 40.73; 41.54; 38.82; 37.68, and 35.91 %wt.
