摘要:
A steam stripping device for an inorganic processing solution is provided, which includes a steam stripping unit for heat stripping the inorganic processing solution; a heat exchanging unit coupled to the steam unit for heating the inorganic processing solution; and a desuperheating unit for decreasing the temperature of a steam when overheated before the steam is fed into the heat exchanging unit by cooling liquid. The device can be applied to the inorganic processing solution for removing organic contaminants contained therein. By the provision of the desuperheating unit, the adverse influence on the inorganic processing solution caused by partially superheating can be prevented.

摘要:
A treatment apparatus for organic waste including a reaction vessel for introducing and decomposing organic waste and pulling out decomposed organic waste as a treated fluid. The reaction vessel includes an internal vessel made of corrosion-resistant material, an external vessel made of pressure-resistant material provided for surrounding the internal vessel via a gap, and an interconnection pipe for interconnecting the gap and the internal vessel outside the external vessel, thereby to control inside the gap and inside the internal vessel to practically equal pressure. The internal vessel has a heating zone for heating the introduced organic waste to a temperature higher than a critical point of water, a reaction zone for holding and decomposing the organic waste at a temperature higher than the critical point of water, and a cooling zone for cooling the treated fluid containing a decomposition product of the organic waste to lower than 100° C. The gap is adapted to be charged with high-pressure water or hydrogen peroxide water.

A process for removing PCDD's and PCDF's from paper mill sludge is provided. The process comprises combining the sludge with an oxidant and then oxidizing the sludge under supercritical or near supercritical conditions to destroy the PCDD's and PCDF's. Using this process, destruction efficiencies of greater than 98% have been achieved for 2,3,7,8-TCDD, which is reportedly the most toxic of the dioxins.
摘要:
A process for treating solid substantially non-volatile wastes contaminated with a heat sensitive contaminant is disclosed. The wastes are heated to form a liquid slag. The liquid slag is held at elevated temperature until at least a portion of the contaminating components have either decomposed or evolved from the melt as a gas. The slag is subjected to cooling and the contaminating compounds are bound or encapsulated into a solid glassy slag. The process is particularly suitable for handling fluoride and cyanide contaminated aluminum smelting wastes such as spent potliner material. It is advantageous to add silica to such wastes. The residue from the slagging reaction is a glassy solid sodium metal silicate matrix such that the fluoride residues remaining in the wastes are encapsulated. The amount of silicate blended with the feed material is selected to substantially tie up all of the sodium remaining in the residue after slag melting and is typically 7.5 to 50 weight percent of the feed. The resulting solid, glassy slag material produced is not hazardous to health and is essentially inert to the environment.

An accelerated process for the complete neutralization of acid wastes, the destruction of concrete and/or the denaturation of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) includes forming a slurry or suspension by submerging in the acid solution the concrete and/or asbestos-containing materials (ACMs); the concrete and/or asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) cause the acid wastes neutralizing chemical reactions in the slurry or suspension and, at the same time, the destruction of concrete and/or the denaturation of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Simultaneously to the chemical reactions, the slurry or suspension is subjected to hydrodynamic cavitation, preferably using an apparatus capable of producing and managing three types of simultaneous controlled cavitation acting in the same space volume, accelerating the chemical reactions taking place in the slurry due also to the simultaneous presence of acid, concrete and/or asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The concrete and/or asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are preferably ground and polarized prior to be submerged in the acid solution to form the slurry. The polarization take place, for the really first time, with a cold plasma torch. In addition the slurry or suspension is preferably subjected to hydrothermal treatment, preferably using a reactor which ensures the preservation of the constancy of the ideal physical parameters for the reaction in the physical chemical environment. In this reactor are additivated chemicals, hydroxyapatite and biological substances that have binder/chelating power especially on metals contained in asbestos, especially on magnesium, in order to prevent its reformation. Recovering, at the end of the process, inert secondary raw materials (SRMs) that are non-hazardous to the environment and human health. In addition, this process could be used to produce molecules that are important intermediates of the subsequent reactions/processes, leading to the formation of salts/compounds used as dietary supplements and also in important environmental remedies such as polluted water reclamation and the treatment of heavily polluted soils.

A method of hydrothermal processing of highly toxic substances, wastes and metal powders, comprises a batch processing cycle of at least following steps i. to viii: i. preparing a batch of highly toxic waste, substances and metal powders for processing; ii. applying precision dozing to the batch to obtain a mixture of the batch with water and at least one additional reagent in preset proportions; iii. feeding the mixture into a reactor; iv. spraying the mixture inside the reactor with a mechanical spray nozzle; v. supplying an additional oxidizing agent inside the reactor; vi. adjusting a temperature inside the reactor to above 374.2° C.; vii. adjusting a pressure inside the reactor to above 21.8 MPa, thereby driving the water into supercritical condition and initiating a supercritical hydrothermal oxidation process; and viii. keeping the mixture in the reactor for a preset amount of time, and at the same time. The method further comprises removing a produced steam and hydrogen mixture from the reactor via a steam-gas unit and droplet separator into a wastewater condenser unit and a gas drainage pipe, and venting suspended solids through a bottom part of the reactor into a solids collector unit. The method then provides the steps of repeating the batch processing cycle after it has terminated; and monitoring and controlling the temperature and pressure inside the reactor via an Automatic Process Control System (APCS) during all steps.

An apparatus useful in the removal of toxic materials from toxic weapon projectiles has a base, a projectile retaining container and a ram. The projectile retaining container has a projectile retainer opening, a ram opening and a drain opening. The projectile retaining container is adapted to retain a toxic weapon projectile in the projectile retainer opening. The ram is adapted to extend into a toxic weapon projectile disposed within the projectile retaining container to crush the projectile's burster well and to thereby release toxic materials to the drain opening in the projectile retaining container. The ram alternatively includes high pressure water nozzles for breaking up any coagulant particles and for thoroughly rinsing the interior side walls of the toxic weapon projectile.

摘要:
A system and method for conversion of alkali metals, heavy metals, halogens, and sulfur into mineral products. The system includes a single reaction vessel. To begin the process, co-reactants such as lime and clay are mixed with waste feeds containing alkali metals, heavy metals, halogens, and sulfur. This mixture is then introduced into the reaction vessel. The reaction vessel is operated under reducing conditions. After the mineral products are allowed to form, they are collected from the reaction vessel.
