The present invention concerns an arrangement for the recycling of carbon and hydrocarbon compounds from organic input material through pyrolysis treatment, comprising: a reactor (1) comprising a chamber (110) that is limited by a jacket (111) and upper and lower end-wall sections (112, 113), in which chamber input material (M) in fragmented form is intended to be introduced, gas inlet means (120) for the supply of heated inert gas (101) to the input material, whereby the gas inlet means (120) is connected in a manner that transfers gas to a gas emission source (102) through inlet pipes (104, 129, 187.1, 187.2) that are associated with inlet pipes, and gas outlets (160) for leading the gas out of the chamber, where the gas outlet means (120) comprises openings (125, 146, 155, 185) through which gas flows intended to supply the gas (101) into the chamber (110), whereby the openings (125, 146, 155, 185) through which gas flows are arranged such that a fall in pressure dP is generated during the supply of gas that exceeds the fall in pressure dM of the gas during passage through the input material M that has been introduced into the chamber. The invention concerns also a method for the recycling of carbon and hydrocarbon compounds from organic input material through pyrolysis.

A process and an apparatus for pyrolysis of mixed plastic feedstock producing petroleum products are described. In one example, a process for producing petroleum products includes charging feedstock of mixed polymer materials into a reactor apparatus. Heat energy is applied to the feedstock while advancing the feedstock through the reactor apparatus in an anaerobic operation. The energy input to the reactor apparatus is controlled by controlling a temperature gradient within the reactor vessel to produce petroleum gas product. The process involves in situ chemical reactions comprising cracking and recombination reactions that that are controlled to convert solid hydrocarbonaceous portion of the feedstock to molten fluids and gases inside the reactor vessel and to produce gaseous petroleum products which exit the reactor vessel. The separated solid residue from the pyrolysis process is also removed from the reactions vessel.

An apparatus and process for thermally de-manufacturing tires and other materials. The apparatus is a retort chamber with various zones in which tires are combusted to provide energy for the thermal depolymerization reaction, depolymerization takes place, and products leave the retort chamber. In one embodiment, the process reacts water with iron present in steel-belted tires to produce hydrogen, which helps to break sulfur-sulfur bonds in vulcanized materials. The water also helps control the temperature of the reaction, which allows for control over the types and relative amounts of the various depolymerization products.
