Determination of pyrolytic water composition forming during thermal processing of automobile tyres

The study of the chemical composition of water formed during pyrolysis of waste tyres was made. The obtained pyrolytic water was characterized by FT-IR techniques, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, dissociation extraction and a distribution chromatography method. It was found out that pyrolytic water consists of about 93 compounds, from which 27 compounds were identified by GC-MS method. Quantitative analysis established that total content of compounds is up 0,90 g/dm3, from which caprolactam – 46 %, cyclohexanone – 5, aniline – 17, benzonitrile – 6,  о -cresol – 2,6,  p -cresol – 2,8, benzothyazole – 4,9, 2,4-dimethylquinoline – 4,6, phthalimide – 2,5 %. By dissociative extraction of organic acids and bases it was shown that peaks of some components of chromatogram contain minor components. Distribution coefficients in hexane-water system of cyclohexanone, aniline, benzonitrile,  о -cresol,  p -cresol, 2,5-dimethylphenol, benzoic acid, benzothyazole, caprolactam, 1-methyl-isoquinoline, 2,4-dimethylquinoline and phthalimide were defined.
