Abstract

In this contribution, the preparation of iron-based catalysts from waste tires is reported. Waste steel from disused tires was used as feedstock to obtain iron sulfate (active phase precursor), while tire rubber was transformed by pyrolysis into carbonaceous material (catalyst support). Thus, catalysts were prepared from waste tires and characterized by different techniques. For comparison, additional catalysts were prepared using commercial iron sulfate (FeSO₄.7H₂O) as the active phase precursor, and commercial activated carbon (derived from mineral coal) as support. The yield toward tire-derived carbon was about 64.6 ± 1.3% with respect to the tire used, while the yield toward iron salt was about 87.1 ± 2.8%. The synthesized catalysts presented similar characteristics to catalysts prepared with commercial materials, presenting groups such as aromatic compounds (C=C), carbonyl group (C=O) and hydroxyl groups (-OH), in addition to the presence of magnetite, amorphous graphitic carbon and ZnS in their structure.
