Abstract

Co-pyrolysis has become an eye-catching process for obtaining fuel and biochar and is attracting attention from both the scientific and industrial communities. One of the reasons for this is the wide variety of raw materials for the process itself and the possibility of obtaining attractive and high-quality products. The influence of three distinctive parameters has been studied on the co-pyrolysis reaction. These variables were temperature, reaction time, and plastic ratio. The results were analysed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and it was found that the optimum conditions to produce biochar from the co-pyrolysis of coffee and tire wastes were 359.441 °C, 10 minutes of reaction duration, and a plastic ratio of 97.8528 wt.%.
