Abstract

In this work the results obtained from the catalytic pyrolysis of waste tire rubber are presented, discussed and compared with thermal pyrolysis. The catalyst used was prepared by blending method from a mixture of HZSM-5 zeolite and γ-alumina. The pyrolisis process was performed at 450 °C in N2 flow for 30 min, 60 min and 120 min of reaction in order to obtain carbon.
Carbons obtained were characterized by textural and infrared spectroscopy analysis and tested in an adsorption process applying an indirect method. This process was used to demonstrate its ability to remove contaminants, such as methylene blue and acid blue
25, and to compare the adsorption capacity with a commercial carbon.
