The co-pyrolysis of the palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and waste tire (WT) was conducted at a constant microwave power of 600 W, a reaction temperature of 500 °C, and EFB-to-WT ratio of 65:35 using activated carbon as a carbonaceous microwave susceptor (CMS). The study investigated the effect of CMS p...
