The presence of waste tires on open fields or households creates an ideal breeding ground for disease-carrying vermin, threatening human well-being. There are various technologies studied for efficient use of waste tires, such as pyrolysis, which results in char, oil, and non-condensable gases. Tire pyrolytic oil (TPO) has been reported to be similar to commercial diesel fuel. The current hurdle for using TPO in commercial diesel engines is the available sulfur content (&gt;1.0 wt%). The disadvantages of sulfur in liquid fuels are its ability to reduce the engine’s life due to corrosion and the undesirable emission of SO x  that subsequently damages public health and property. There is a rising need to develop efficient technologies for the desulfurization of such liquid fuels. Besides conventional hydrodesulfurization, other emerging technologies include adsorption, oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, and biological desulfurization. This paper reviews the status of pyrolysis of waste tires and desulfurization technologies for TPO. Implications : The nature of tires makes them extremely challenging to recycle due to the available chemically cross-linked polymer and, therefore, they are neither fusible nor soluble and, consequently, cannot be remolded into other shapes without serious degradation. The presence of tire waste on open fields or households creates an ideal breeding ground for disease-carrying vermin which pose a threat to humans. Also, disposal in landfills can lead to groundwater pollution by heavy metals and cause hazardous and uncontrolled fires. Owing to the growing environmental concerns, the exploration of economically viable and environmentally friendly techniques for the management of waste tires has been intensified in the recent past. Thermochemical routes such as combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis are important in the management of waste tires, reducing the environmental impacts of tire volarization, and allowing for the recovery of products. Given the depletion of fossil fuels and to meet the ever-growing demand for fuel energy, several initiatives to find alternative fuel sources are currently being taken. Fuel oil obtained from the pyrolysis of waste tires is becoming a promising alternative source of energy given its availability and higher heating value. Pyrolysis, an eco-friendly process, is the heating of matter in the absence of oxygen and is normally practiced for the thermochemical decomposition of different types of feedstock including biomass, coal, tires, and municipal solid waste. This paper reviews the current studies for pyrolysis of waste tires and multiple desulfurization technologies used for treating TPO globally. The detailed specification on operating conditions for the pyrolysis reactor in achieving desirable products in terms of composition and ratios are discussed.
