Abstract

This paper investigates the syngas production in a hybrid filtration reactor composed of aleatory waste tires particles and alumina spheres. Parameters as reaction wave temperature, propagation rate and gaseous and solid emissions products were measured as a function of gasifier agents (air and steam) and natural gas presence. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide concentrations in the reaction products were determined by gas chromatography and solid emissions by X-ray spectrometry. Downstream reaction zone propagation was observed in all experiments yielding high reaction temperature (1,100–1,500 K) responsible of: (1) generating H2 and CO as main products of the process for different gasifier agents and natural gas presence, and (2) decreased solid particles emissions in comparison with temperatures below 1,100 K. X-ray spectrometry with total reflection was able to detect peaks of Zn and Fe, thought to originate from waste tires particles as well as from reactoŕs insulation material. It was detected that pure air had the best performance as a gasifier agent.
