Abstract
A method for utilization of waste rubber and plastics by means of their com bined pyrolysis with a solid fuel is described. Oil shale, different kinds of waste rubber, polyethylene and polypropylene were pyrolyzed. The oil yie ld was 43-50 wt% from rubbers, and 93-95 wt% from thermoplastics, Gas yield was 3-6 wt%.
