Pyrolysis process for treatment of automobile shredder residue: preliminary experimental results

The main objective of the present research work is to evaluate both the pro cess performance and characteristics of the products obtained from the trea tment of automobile shredder residue (ASR) using a pilot scale experimental pyrolysis plant operating under different load and varying process tempera tures. ASR samples used for the treatment, solid and liquid by-products obt ained and syngas produced were analysed both through on-line monitoring (ga s) and laboratory analysis. Brief descriptions of the plant as well as the preliminary experimental results obtained are presented here. (C) 2000 Else vier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
