Abstract

A process was to be developed, by means of which the residual materials arising in the separate collection and sorting of packaging materials and the like can be utilized for producing a synthesis gas and at the same time the pollution potential inherent in the residual materials is destroyed and the formation of new pollutants is prevented. This is effected in such a way that, after a pyrolysis reaction at temperatures from 300-500 DEG C, the metallic constituents are separated off and the remaining solid phase is charged to a gasification stage and gasified at temperatures between 1450 and 1850 DEG C with oxygen-enriched air or oxygen under reducing conditions. The ash fractions arising in the gasification stage are taken off in the form of a vitrified slag, and the gas phase leaving the pyrolysis is converted to synthesis gas together with the gases formed in the gasification stage at temperatures between 800 and 1250 DEG C, with simultaneous addition of steam. Apparatus for carrying out the process consists of a rotary pipe reactor which has a gas outflow line for the pyrolysis gases formed at the end opposite the charging side. On the solids take-off side, the rotary pipe is connected to a metal separator device and a gasification reactor which is connected via a gas outlet to a decomposition reactor, the pyrolysis gases taken off from the rotary pipe reactor and steam also being introduced into the decomposition reactor. The crude synthesis gas formed is discharged from the decomposition reactor via a cooling and scrubbing device.
