Abstract
The aim of this study was argues the economic and environmental benefits of waste tyre
recycling in Ethiopia using pyrolysis and indicate the important of the by-products during
pyrolysis process such as waste steel and solid char. The study was sketches the uses of waste
tyres as an alternative source of energy and use for various applications based on chemical
analysis. The GC-MS result was indicates that the maximum composition of extracted oil was dlLimonene,
Cyclohexene,
1-meth
yl-4-(1-methylethenyl)
obtained

(15.302)
and
high percentage area of (11%). Limonene is environmentally acceptable solvent for
industrial use and cleaning agent of electrical circuit boards by replacing ozone depleting
chlorofluorocarbons and as a dispersing agent in cleaning product. In this study the maximum
average fuel oil yield (52.11%) was occurred at time of 75 minute and temperature of 550
o
C and
the minimum average oil yield (42.05%) was obtained at temperature of 500
o
C and time of 45
minute. From the two process variables the optimum operating condition was 75(minute) and
550 (
0
C). The extracted fuel oil at this optimum conditions have low flash (36
o
C) point than
others literature result (>50
o
C).
