Abstract:
A system for the pyrolization of waste has a combustion chamber with a fuel inlet and a hot gas outlet, a pyrolization chamber separated from the combustion chamber, and a conveyor means positioned within the pyrolization chamber for moving waste from the waste inlet through the pyrolization chamber. The pyrolization chamber is connected to the hot gas outlet of the combustion chamber. The pyrolization chamber has a waste inlet and pyrolized waste outlet. A plurality of radiant tubes are positioned within the pyrolization chamber adjacent to the conveyor so as to heat the waste on the conveyor.
Abstract:
A refuse incinerating oven includes a refuse loading car, and a furnace body with lower and upper combustion chambers. The car is conveyed through the furnace body such that refuse loaded on the car can be ignited in the lower combustion chamber. The combustion exhaust generated in the lower combustion chamber flows into and is heated in the upper combustion chamber. A spraying tank is communicated with the upper combustion chamber for receiving the combustion exhaust. Water mist is sprayed to the combustion exhaust in the spraying tank so as to generate aerated water. The aerated water and the combustion exhaust flowing from the spraying tank are cooled as they flow into a reservoir. The aerated water is pumped from the reservoir to an upper end of a waterfall tank so as to generate a downwardly cascading water stream inside the waterfall tank. An exhaust port unit is connected to the upper end of the waterfall tank for sucking and releasing the combustion exhaust.
Abstract:
A plant for recovering metals and/or metal oxides from industrial process waste, in particular oil product refining waste, comprises a furnace; a feed line connected to a main inlet of the furnace and configured to feed the furnace with a solid waste containing metals, in particular in oxide form; an outlet line, connected to a solid phase outlet of the furnace and configured to draw a metal-enriched solid phase out of the furnace; the furnace is a belt conveyor furnace having a belt conveyor closed in a loop with a substantially horizontal configuration and having a top face, which receives the waste to treat and conveys it between two longitudinal opposite ends of the belt conveyor furnace respectively provided with the main inlet and the solid phase outlet.
Abstract:
Method of remediating a soil contaminated by polyhalogenated hydrocarbons, in particular PCBs, PCDDs and PCDFs, comprising the steps of removing and sieving the soil to free it of stones and gravel; possibly regulating the moisture content of the sieved soil to a value of 10-30%; subjecting the sieved soil to thermal treatment while it flows in the form of a thin, turbulent, dynamic layer in contact with a wall heated to at least 250° C.; separating the thermally treated soil from the steam generated following such treatment, the soil being substantially free of the aforementioned polyhalogenated hydrocarbons.

Abstract:
An improved, pollution-free incinerator eliminating the need for a conventional, independently-fired after-burner, having a loading chamber in which slow combustion commences, hydraulic means to move waste materials through said loading chamber to a two-section primary combustion chamber, said loading chamber being in communication with the lower portion of said primary combustion chamber to utilize gases generated from the initial slow combustion area to fire said primary combustion chamber and to burn the gases generated therein, and air baffle to filter particulate matter which might escape from said primary combustion chamber, and hydraulic means to remove ash from said incinerator.
