Optimizing waste valorization: catalytic co-pyrolysis of cabbage waste and tire waste for enhanced bio-oil and syngas production utilizing char as a reforming catalyst.

ABSTRACT: This study explores the catalytic co-pyrolysis of cabbage waste (CW) and tire waste (TW) to enhance the yield and quality of bio-oil and syngas. Although CW is produced in large quantities from global cabbage cultivation, its lower hydrogen content limits its utility for fuel and chemical production. The co-pyrolysis process, utilizing char as a catalyst, presents a cost-effective approach to optimize product outputs by promoting the reforming of volatiles during thermal decomposition. Thermogravimetric-infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR) and a dual-stage fixed bed reactor were employed to assess thermal behavior, the release of evolved gases and product composition. Results demonstrated that catalyst-assisted co-pyrolysis with char reduced non-condensable emissions to 33.45% and increased con
