NITI Aayog has proposed new standards for Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) and Recovered Carbon Black

¨     NITI Aayog has proposed new standards for Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) and Recovered Carbon Black (rCB).

¨     Tyre pyrolysis is an industrial process in which waste tyres are decomposed at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.

¨     It is a thermochemical conversion process carried out without combustion.

¨     The process converts waste tyres into useful products.

¨     Major products obtained from pyrolysis include Tyre Pyrolysis Oil, Recovered Carbon Black, steel wire, and pyro-gas.

¨     Tyre Pyrolysis Oil is a liquid hydrocarbon product derived from waste tyres.

¨     After proper processing and quality control, it can be used as an industrial fuel.

¨     Its composition varies depending on feedstock, reactor design, and operating conditions.

¨     Standardisation of the product is important for industrial use.

¨     Recovered Carbon Black is a solid carbon-rich material obtained during the pyrolysis process.

¨     It can be used in rubber, plastics, inks, and other industrial products.

¨     The process supports waste tyre management and resource recovery.

¨     It also promotes circular economy practices and environmental sustainability.
