description The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the energy valorization from the pyrolysis of waste tires using coaxial continuous flame burners. For such an investigation, both the Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) along with its blend (B1) with light diesel oil (LDO) were prepared, physically and chemically characterized, and then combusted in coaxial burners. To distinguish the spectral emission peaks, for the vaporization and combustion zone and the hot recirculation zone of the produced flame, flame spectroscopy techniques were utilized. The mass-specific emission indices and the axial inflame temperatures were used as indicators of the flame radiation intensity in the flame zones. The coaxial flame was inspected for excess air factors of 1.33, 1.04, and 0.9. In the study, a higher radiation intensity of TPO/LDO blend flame was recognized in the B1 flame length which was taller than that of LDO by 48% at λ=1.33. Furthermore, a decrease in CO emissions levels was also noticed in the combustion of waste tire pyrolysis oil and B1 by an average of 4%–12% compared to that from HDO, and the NOx emissions were also reduced by 8.5%–26%. The highest axial inflame temperature of 1,205 °C was recorded for TPO at condition λ=0.9, where the presence of oxygen molecules in fuel helps flame improvements.
