Method for the pyrolysis of raw materials, in particular raw materials deriving from tires or bitumen and pyrolysis equipment operating according to said method

A method for the pyrolysis of raw materials, in particular raw materials deriving from tires or bitumen, the method providing the steps of: - feeding to a reactor the material to be subjected to the pyrolysis process; heating said material in said reactor at the temperatures needed for establishing the pyrolysis process; - collecting the final products of the pyrolysis reaction; - separating one from another the gaseous, liquid and solid phases of the reaction products and storing, for further treatment, said reaction products separated one from another, According to the invention, the heating of the pyrolysis process to the activation temperature is obtained by irradiation of the raw material with laser radiation, - said laser radiation being concentrated or focused on a localized area of a pre-established surface area on the surface of the mass of raw material of the focusing area, being progressively moved along the entire surface of the mass of raw material by activating the pyrolytic reaction on all of said mass of raw material.
