This study deals with the pyrolysis of waste tires by pyrolysis technology method to obtain char product, oil and gas. Pyrolysis is considered as one of the most promising methods for waste tire recycling and heat recovery. This paper presents the determination of hydrocarbon classes of pyrolytic oil. Tyre pyrolysis oil has a complex composition containing mainly: aliphatic, aromatic, hetero-atom and polar fractions. The oil sample is distilled under laboratory conditions and the three fractions produced during the process are analysed by gas chromatography. During the study the true boiling point is defined and the white product of the sample is determined. The study sample is composed by light fractions and this is confirmed by the analysis with the gas chromatography that hydrocarbons have been identified from C1 up to C22. From the study it is concluded that; the C1–C6, C6–C8 and C8–C10 fractions are in large amounts in the first and second fractions and also there is a high content in the first two fractions of C6–C10 compounds (from 16.254 up to 60.281%). Knowing that the arena consists of C6–C9 means that this sample has a high content of the arenas and aromatic hydrocarbons which consist mainly of benzene, toluene and xylene. © 2020, Scibulcom Ltd.
