Popis: With toluene in the supercritical state, scrap tire was decomposed into low molecular weight hydrocarbon liquid and solid residual. The experiment was carried out at 523.15, 573.15 and 623.15 K and pressures of 5, 10, and 15 MPa. The liquid and solid residual products were further separated by a simple filtering method. The reaction time, tire weight and the amount of the solvent were determined for the optimal thermolysis. The decomposition percent and TGA were used to evaluate the decomposition characteristics in terms of temperature and pressure. The GC-MS was applied to the decomposed liquid products from the various conditions. The average molecular weight of the decomposed liquid products tended to become lower with the increasing temperature.
