One was that if you ask it "What is your surname?' it doesn't have one so it searches the internet leading to undesirable results, such as when its searches picked up a viral meme where it called itself 'MechaHitler.' [...]

Una gran diferencia que veo entre los pogromos de El Ejido en 2000 y en Torre Pacheco en 2025 es que la población local migrante o hija de migrantes sí está organizando patrullas de autodefensa para enfrentarse a los racistas y a veces con Policía y Guardia Civil. También que en Torre Pacheco los que causan ataques racistas vienen de fuera y en El Ejido fue eminetemente local

Otra diferencia es que el despliegue policial en El Ejido, con el PP en el Gobierno, ha sido mucho mayor que hasta el momento en Torre Pacheco. No obstante, El Ejido es un municipio más poblado y los ataques racistas fueron más graves. En ese caso la chispa fueron una serie de asesinatos en poco tiempo realizados por hombres extranjeros, ahora afortunadamente solo una paliza sin secuelas graves

Unpacking the Tire Pyrolysis Process


The tire pyrolysis process is a highly efficient method for converting used tires into valuable products such as oil, carbon black, and gas. With the growing issue of tire waste, this process offers an eco-friendly and economically viable solution. A deeper look into the pyrolysis plant reveals its intricate mechanisms, its various stages, and how it contributes to both waste management and the creation of valuable by-products.

The Process Flow of Tire Pyrolysis


At the core of a tyre pyrolysis plant is the reactor, where the tire pyrolysis process takes place. This process begins when whole tires are introduced into the reactor, which is then heated to high temperatures in an oxygen-free environment. The heat drives the decomposition of the tire’s materials, breaking them down into simpler compounds. The key to pyrolysis is the absence of oxygen, which prevents combustion and instead facilitates the thermal cracking of complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules.

1. Pre-Treatment of Tires


Before entering the reactor, tires may undergo a pre-treatment process to optimize the pyrolysis procedure. Pre-treatment involves shredding or cutting the tires into smaller, uniform pieces. Smaller tire pieces allow for more efficient heat distribution and ensure a consistent breakdown of the material inside the reactor. This initial step helps speed up the pyrolysis reaction, thus increasing the overall yield of the desired products.

2. Thermal Decomposition in the Reactor


Once the tires enter the pyrolysis reactor, they are subjected to temperatures ranging between 350°C and 700°C. In this high-heat environment, the tires decompose into three primary outputs: oil, carbon black, and gas. The temperature range is crucial as it determines the ratio of each product produced during the pyrolysis process.

The main reaction in the reactor is the thermal cracking of long-chain hydrocarbons found in the tire rubber. These hydrocarbons break down into smaller, more volatile compounds. These compounds are then converted into different by-products based on the temperature and duration of the pyrolysis reaction. The reactor typically operates in a sealed environment to ensure that no oxygen is present, preventing combustion and allowing the material to decompose into oil, gas, and carbon black.

3. Condensation and Collection of Pyrolysis Oil


One of the most significant by-products of tire pyrolysis is the oil, often referred to as "pyrolysis oil" or "tire oil." This oil is collected by condensing the vapor produced during the pyrolysis process. After the vapor is cooled, it forms a liquid that can be collected in storage tanks for further refinement or use. Pyrolysis oil is a valuable resource and can be further processed into fuel or used in industrial applications.

4. Production of Carbon Black


Another essential by-product of tire pyrolysis is carbon black. This solid residue is made up of fine black particles and is commonly used in a variety of industrial applications, including in the manufacturing of rubber, inks, and paints. The carbon black produced in the pyrolysis plant is high-quality and can be utilized in a range of industries, offering a cost-effective alternative to virgin carbon black sourced from fossil fuels.

5. Gas Production


The third significant by-product is gas, which is primarily composed of methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. The gas produced during pyrolysis is typically collected and can be used to fuel the pyrolysis plant itself, making the process more energy-efficient. This self-sustaining energy cycle is one of the main advantages of tire pyrolysis, as it reduces reliance on external energy sources and increases the profitability of the process.

Key Factors Influencing the Pyrolysis Process


Several variables impact the efficiency and product yield of the tire pyrolysis process. These include the following:

a. Temperature Control


The pyrolysis process is highly dependent on temperature. A higher temperature generally leads to a greater yield of oil, whereas lower temperatures favor the production of carbon black. Effective temperature control within the reactor ensures optimal decomposition of the tire material, maximizing the output of the desired by-products.

b. Feedstock Type and Composition


The type and quality of the tires being processed also influence the pyrolysis process. Tires with higher rubber content typically produce more oil, while tires with more metal and synthetic materials may lead to a greater yield of carbon black. Sorting and pre-treating tires to remove non-rubber materials can optimize the process.

c. Reaction Time


The duration of the pyrolysis reaction affects the degree of decomposition and the final product composition. A longer reaction time may lead to a higher yield of gas, while a shorter time can favor the production of more liquid oil. Balancing reaction time is key to obtaining the desired products efficiently.

Operational Efficiency and Environmental Benefits


The tire pyrolysis process offers a range of environmental benefits. By diverting tires from landfills and recycling them into valuable products, pyrolysis reduces the environmental impact of tire waste. Additionally, the process reduces the reliance on fossil fuels by converting waste into usable energy and raw materials.

Furthermore, tire pyrolysis has a relatively low environmental footprint compared to other waste management techniques such as incineration, which releases harmful emissions. The pyrolysis process, when properly managed, can significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable waste disposal method.

The Role of the Pyrolysis Plant in the Circular Economy


Tire pyrolysis plants play a critical role in the concept of the circular economy by promoting the reuse and recycling of materials that would otherwise contribute to environmental pollution. By converting waste tires into valuable by-products like oil and carbon black, these plants help reduce resource depletion while providing essential materials for industries such as manufacturing and energy production.

Final Thoughts


The tire pyrolysis process is a sophisticated yet highly beneficial method for recycling tires, turning waste into a valuable resource. Understanding the key stages of the process, from pre-treatment to the final collection of oil, carbon black, and gas, provides insight into the effectiveness of pyrolysis as an environmental solution. As technology continues to evolve, the efficiency and profitability of pyrolysis plants are expected to improve, further enhancing their role in sustainable waste management.
