Decreasing fossil fuel resources and the growing attention to environmental causes increased interest in alternative fuels. Currently as a liquid alternative fuels apply: methanol, ethanol, biodiesel (FAME), dimethyl ether (DME). They can be used directly, or as components of mixtures with conventional fuels. Attempts have also been made to apply recycled fuels for diesel engines. As fuel recycling used oils extracted from waste made of polyethylene and polypropylene, oil recycled from used lubricating oils and li...

The paper analyzes physicochemical properties of liquid products of waste tyre pyrolysis, and attempts to assess their usefulness as fuel for diesel engines. Every year, the number of produced vehicle tires increases at a very fast pace. Used tyres turn into waste that is difficult to manage simply because, according to relevant EU regulations, vehicle tires should be subject to recycling. To a large extent, the problem of waste tyres management may be resolved by their utilization through pyrolysis. The processin...
