Waste tire disposal, being currently a topical problem, can be implemented by low-temperature pyrolysis in continuous units used to obtain commercial products: liquid fraction and solid coke residue. In creating such units, cooling the discharged coke residue may become a factor limiting the entire technological process. The process of cooling a bed of solid pyrolysis products in the open air has been investigated in this work. The development of heat generation has been established experimentally in bulk coke residue at a surface layer temperature of 608°C or higher. A procedure has been developed which makes it possible to detect this effect for the process of pyrolysis of other carbon-containing materials.
