Pyrolysis of used tires yields oil and pyrolytic carbon black (CB,). The tire pyrolysis process can be performed either in vacua or at atmospheric pressure. The CB, recovered in both processes are different from the commercial carbon blacks used in the tire fabrication. Different spectroscopic metho

β¦ Synopsis
Pyrolytic carbon blacks (Cq) were obtained by vacuum pyrolysis of used tires in a batch reactor at a total pressure ranging from 0.3 to 20.0 kPa, and temperatures ranging from 420 to 700Β°C. CBp differ from commercial carbon blacks used initially in the tire fabrication.
A series of commercial carbon blacks with different surface areas and structures and CB, obtained under different pyrolysis conditions were characterized using ESCA and SEM techniques to investigate the effect of the pyrolysis conditions on the chemical nature of the surface of CB,.

The surface chemistry and morphology of carbon blacks obtained by pyrolysis of used tyres (CBr) and of commercial carbon blacks was investigated by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and fractal analysis using nitrogen adsorption data and small
Some commercially available carbon black materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra were recorded between 1000 and 1800 cm-', which corresponds to the spectral region that provides the most valuable data on the microstructure of carbons.

## Abstract **Summary:** Pyrolytic carbon black (CBp) has been prepared by rubber crumb pyrolysis under nitrogen flow at 700βΒ°C. The CBp obtained by this process had an average surface area of 81 m^2^βΒ·βg^β1^ and was obtained in 43% yield over the starting rubber crumb. Although the CBp surface are
