A horizontal laboratory reactor was used to study the evolution of byproduc
ts from the combustion of scrap tires at five nominal temperatures (ranging
from 650 to 1050 degrees C) and different oxygen sample ratios. A model wa
s used to calculate the bulk air ratio (lambda), and the oxygen consumption
was discussed considering this ratio lambda. More than 100 volatile and se
mivolatile compounds were identified and quantified by gas chromatography m
ass spectrometry, plotting their yields vs the bulk air ratio and temperatu
re. Five different behaviors considering the hulk air ratio and the tempera
ture were identified.
