Abstract
Valuable petrochemicals such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes can be salvaged from waste tire-derived oils. However, without a catalyst, such chemicals cannot be produced in a high amount. Sulfur compounds causing environmental problems and the low quality of oils pose another challenge.
The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of zeolite properties, that are, acidity/basicity, pore channel structure, pore size, and Si/Al ratio on hydrocarbon species in pyrolysis products, especially valuable C6–C8 petrochemicals and sulfur compounds.
