Abstract

Abstract. Pyrolysis of rubber waste is one of the thermochemical methods that can produce fuel. This research aims to produce high-value energy and fuel that can be used to replace fossil fuels. Rubber pyrolysis waste focuses on determining the effect of temperature on the yield of pyrolysis oil. In This research, three temperature variations were used 500, 550, and 600 &#8451-. The maximum oil yield obtained was 56% at a temperature of 550 &#8451-. The aromatic compound (31.84%) was found at a temperature of 600 &#8451-. Using 10% dolomite as a catalyst reduced the oil yield to 54.21%, and successively reduced phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine.
