The product yield of pyrolysis can vary depending on the temperature, process parameters, and the type of material being pyrolyzed.
For pyrolysis of waste tires, the total yield of gas products is typically 30-53% by weight, oil is 28-42%, and char is 14-28%.
For biomass pyrolysis, the major products are char, bio-oil, and pyrolytic gas. The yield for char, bio-oil, and gas can vary significantly under different process conditions, but typically the yields are around 50-70% for bio-oil, 13-25% for bio-char, and 12-15% for gas.
For plastic pyrolysis, the main products are fuel oil, carbon black, and syngas. The yield of these products can vary depending on the quality and type of the waste plastic, as well as the pyrolysis technology used. Generally, the pyrolysis of waste plastics can produce 30-80% oil, 20-30% carbon black, and 10-20% gas.
In general, pyrolysis of polymeric materials can result in the formation of three competing products: liquid products, coke residue (or char), and gas. The yield of these products depends on the process conditions and the properties of the raw materials. At elevated temperatures, pyrolysis gas is the main product. At low intensity and increased pressure, coke residue or char becomes the prevailing product. At high intensity and moderate temperature, the main product is liquid organic products.
In fast pyrolysis, which is the most common method, the major product is bio-oil. The yields of the products are typically around 30-60% for liquid condensates, 15-35% for gases (including CO, H2, CH4, CO2, and light hydrocarbons), and 10-15% for char.
In ultra-fast or flash pyrolysis, which is an extremely rapid thermal decomposition process, the main products are gases and bio-oil. The yields of the products are approximately 10-20% for liquid condensate, 60-80% for gases, and 10-15% for char.
The specific product yields of pyrolysis can vary depending on the conditions and materials used, but these ranges provide a general idea of the distribution of product yields from pyrolysis.
