Technical advance on the pyrolysis of used tires in China

There are many researches on the pyrolysis of used tire all over the world in the last

decade due to the raising public awareness of environmental concerns. More than 200 papers

were published recently in China concerning the utilization of the waste tire rubber. About 30

inventions on the pyrolysis of waste rubber were patented in P.R.China. The objective of this

review is to outline the research activities of the pyrolysis of tire rubber being undertaken in

China, which mainly involves the pyrolysis mechanism and kinetics, design of pyrolysis
