Turning Scrap into Solutions: Pyrolysis Product Valorisation

Monash University

We allocated Monash University a grant of $230,000. This grant aims to develop two innovative technologies based on the use of end-of-life tyre char. In particular, the char derived from passenger and mining tyres will be part of this focus. This is due to the need to create natural demand for these types of end-of-life tyres as well as upgrading the plastics-derived oil and the desulfurisation of end-of-life tyre oil.

The results achieved are expected to lead to the development of value-added applications of scrap tyre char, and advanced co-pyrolysis of plastics and scrap tyre.
