| description | The separated and sorted combustibles from automobile shredder residue (ASR) can be pyrolyzed and used as a heat source or liquefied to produce materials with added value. In this study, the thermal decomposition properties of ASR were determined and thermal kinetic studies were performed. Four types of raw materials were separated from ASR and mixed at a constant ratio: 38.5 wt.% of plastic; 31.6 wt.% of fiber; 17.3 wt.% of sponge; and 12.3 wt.% of rubber. Pyrolysis kinetics analysis was carried out using the Thermogravimetric analysis-derivative thermogravimetry (TGA-DTG) technique and activation energy were calculated by differential and integral isoconversional model methods, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and Friedman. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed under nitrogen with four temperature rate conditions from room temperature to 800 °C. In the thermal degradation profile, peaks representing mass loss rates were observed for each sample at different temperature ranges. It was observed that the final mass reduction temperature in the mixed samples was lower than in the individual samples. The activation energies of plastics and rubbers were 105.39 kJ/mol and 115.20 kJ/mol respectively. The sponge foams and fibers were 172.59 kJ/mol and 160.30 kJ/mol respectively. The mixed sample had an activation energy value of 159.56 kJ/mol. The basic physicochemical and pyrolysis characteristics of ASR were examined to be used as basic data for the recycling of ASR for future pyrolysis. |
