This invention discloses a method for preparing high-quality tire oil through
catalytic pyrolysis of
waste tires. The method uses a eutectic
solvent formed by
choline chloride and
ferric chloride hexahydrate as a low-temperature
phase change medium, which functions as a
heat carrier, swelling agent, catalyst, and
sulfur capture agent. Waste tire rubber
powder is mixed with this medium, and a low-temperature swelling and
pyrolysis desulfurization reaction is carried out under an
inert atmosphere. The Lewis acidity of iron ions in the medium preferentially breaks the C-S and S-S bonds in the rubber crosslinking bonds. The
sulfur-containing active species generated by the breakage are captured in situ as inorganic sulfides and retained in the
liquid phase. The escaped oil vapor is condensed to directly obtain ultra-low
sulfur, light-
colored, transparent, high-quality tire oil. The used medium can be oxidized and regenerated by introducing air under heating conditions, and the sulfur is recovered in the form of elemental sulfur, allowing the medium to be recycled. This invention achieves synergistic unity of low-temperature
pyrolysis and deep desulfurization at the source, with a simple process flow that is economical and
environmentally friendly.
