The disposal of used tires, the main source of waste rubber, is an important environmental problem. We describe a method to transform used rubber tires into useful liquid products by coprocessing them with coal. Carbon black, an important constituent in rubber tires, provides a good hydrocracking catalyst during coprocessing. Due to the presence of carbon black in the rubber tires, the yields of liquids obtained by coal-rubber tires coprocessing are superior to those that could be obtained by coprocessing rubber with coal in the absence of carbon black.
