Abstract
The energy crisis and environmental degradation are pressing challenges, intensified by popula-tion growth and the excessive generation of solid waste. Converting waste into energy, especially through pyrolysis, is a viable and sustainable alternative. This thermal process transforms waste such as banana peels and used tires into high-value products such as gas, coal and oil. This study aims to evaluate the production of pyrolytic oil from the pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis of these ma-terials, considering different proportions and temperatures, as well as using a decision tree to predict the composition of the bio-oils. The pyrolysis tests with 100% banana peel and 75% banana peel mixed with 25% tire showed a decrease in oil yield with increasing temperature, with a drop of around 30% when comparing 500 ºC to 400 ºC. In contrast, co-pyrolysis with 50% of each ma-terial and 100% of the tire resulted in increases in oil yield as the temperature rose. FTIR analysis of the oils showed the presence of relevant functional groups, while elemental analysis and de-cision tree modeling provided accurate predictions of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen content. The results suggest that the co-pyrolysis of waste tires and banana peels is a viable alternative for the production of bio-oil.
