And this is repeated sequentially portion by portion.
  • temperature area is formed in the vertical loading channel, this area consists of several sections, where the following processes take place:
  • Area 1 Area of vertical loading channel is the area of low-temperature processing. It is intended for drying of waste (raw materials) fed into the reactor, their destruction and low-temperature processing. This area is symbolically divided by temperature ranges for 5 sections:
  • section 1 (temperature variation range is 20 ⁇ 100° C.)—area the cooler of loading channel, within which the following processes take place:
  • section 2 (temperature variation range is 100 ⁇ 200° C.)—a part of loading channel, within which the following processes take place:
  • section 3 (temperature variation range is 200 ⁇ 350° C.)—a part of loading channel, within which the following processes take place:
  • section 4 (temperature variation range is 350 ⁇ 450° C.)—a part of loading channel, within which the following processes occur:
  • section 5 (temperature variation range is 450 ⁇ 550° C.)—a part of loading channel, within which the following processes take place:
  • Area 2 Area of gas dynamic liquid melt. Operating area. This is the area of high-temperature processing with the temperature range, maintained by heaters—heating tubes from 850 to 950° C. Therein complete decomposition of raw materials, thermal shock processes for destruction, cleavage of nonsaturated hydrocarbons and aromatic rings at practically total lack of reactions of aromatic rings formation, purification of formed gases from liquid and solid processing components, and beginning of catalytic process for carbon gasification occur according to main reactions:
  • the dynamics of melt in this area is performed due to bearing capacity of gas formed at raw materials processing, both in the area of loading channel and in operating area as such.
  • reactions with reagents (CaO, K 2 O, Na 2 O, NaOH, KOH etc.), fed into the reactor with raw materials or formed with it, are intensified within the operating area due to melt dynamics.
  • reagents CaO, K 2 O, Na 2 O, NaOH, KOH etc.
  • One of the functions of these reagents is to accept CO 2 , for example:
  • Gases formed within the area of low-temperature processing, form gas bubbles in the melt, which on the way to the surface in closed volume of the operating area capture the melt, forming gas lift flow in such a way. While lifting the gas is warmed up by the melt both by convection and heat radiation. But at the first stage of the process warming up is weak due to poor transparence of gas, contaminated with liquid and solid processing products, small surface of the bubble relative to its volume, as well as due to endothermic nature of chemical reactions taking place.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) which is contained in gas of loading channel, passes into the melt and reacts with inorganic components of the latter and raw materials both in areas of low-temperature and high-temperature processing, forming at that corresponding carbonates. Similar interaction occurs at the initial stage, when gas and inorganic compounds are not sufficiently heated. This reaction occurs with heat evolution, which facilitates warming up of the reagents. Formed carbonates move within the melt with gradual heating. In the upper part of operating area or warming area, thermal decomposition of carbonates occurs with isolation of CO 2 in a form of the smallest bubbles. In such a way carbon dioxide is dispersed and distributed in the whole volume of melt within the reactor, where it reacts with carbon.
  • Molten salts of alkali and alkaline-earth metals is powerful redox environment where reduction of elementary chemical elements from oxides takes place, carbon is oxidized by reactions with H 2 O and CO 2 with formation of gases containing H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and other components under the influence of gas dynamic processes and high temperature. Organic and inorganic structures are destroyed with simultaneous formation of new chemical compounds.
  • formed metals can interact with compounds, which are present in the melt, for example:
  • Thermodynamic properties of the melt play important role in activation of these processes, namely, high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, which, correspondingly, are three and more orders higher than gas has, which is, in turn, facilitates the increasing of efficiency of energy transfer in the process of thermal decomposition of raw materials and carbon gasification.
  • Aromatic hydrocarbons are not formed due to the following factors:
  • the area of melt cutting off is used for change of direction of upward gas flow at the outlet from reactor operating area following by its distribution in the whole volume of heating area.
  • the cutter is made as a plate and is also used for:
  • Gas area is located over the melt mirror and has a volume, which is approximately equal to one third of the cylindrical shell of the reactor. It is intended for maximal separation of obtained gas from the melt. This area is the continuation of reaction areas, and its temperature varies within the limits of 900-700° C. The reactions of interaction of warmed gases, water vapors and pyrocarbon are continued in the whole volume of gas area.
  • Area 5 Area of reactor heating.
  • the heating area is located between the internal wall of reactor vessel and the shell of operating area. It contains heating tubes, performing indirect internal heating of molten salts to the temperature of 950° C. by electrical or other method.
  • This area is, per se, a circulation circuit with the heating of melt.
  • the gas in heating area is passed in direction opposite to falling melt flow, containing carbon as well as inorganic residue of raw materials.
  • HCl is formed at decomposition of chlorinated organic molecules present in raw materials.
  • the decomposition of carbonates can occur both in the heating area and the upper part of the operation area.
  • Area 6 Area of dynamic purification of the melt.
  • the area is located in the lower part of internal volume of the reactor between the operation area and the cone of displacing system.
  • inorganic components supplied together with raw materials into the melt, as well as the components formed and not reacted during the process of operation of the reactor, are separated by densities.
  • densities such as CaSiO 3 , CaCO 3 , CaS, CaO, SiO 2 etc.
  • Area 7 Area of the displacing system.
  • the area of the displacing system is located at the bottom of reactor volume, between its cone part and the lower gate.
  • the displacing area is made as truncated cone with slight angle of opening. It has separate external heating element, which warms up and maintains the temperature of 900° C. inside the displacing volume.
  • the lower part of the cone is equipped with the gate, intended for short-term opening at removal of formed residue and for draining of the whole molten volume of the reactor.
  • Na 2 O+SiO 2 Na 2 SiO 3 followed by maximal displacing of the melt with infusible inorganic residue.
  • composition of obtained gas is carried out.
  • the salts, oxides or oxide hydrates of alkali-earth metals, for example, calcium oxide are added to waste before the loading.
  • the principle of reactor operation is the implementation of constant melt circulation under the influence of gases formed as the result of organic waste processing. It is performed as follows: the melt, set in motion and discharged under the influence of gas lift from the space between damper chamber and operation area shell, as well as twisted on screw surfaces or special blades, and hampered from the impingement plate, is supplied with twisting into the area between operation area shell and reactor vessel. At that the melt passes downwards along the surfaces of heating tubes, carrying carbonaceous solid components of processing.
  • the increasing of raw materials supply volume results in more intensive gas formation, and hence leads to more intensive melt circulation, which, in turn, allows to compensate increased heat consumption for raw materials processing at the expense of more intensive heat exchange of heating tubes with the melt.
  • Solid unfused slugs formed as the result of the processing and fed into the reactor together with the raw material are separated from main melt volume in the cone part of the reactor and deposited in the displacing device, with displacement of lighter melt from said device. This results in increase of the melt level in the reactor.
  • the sensor of melt level signalizes that the melt level is increased on value, which corresponds to the volume of displacing device, waste supply is stopped.
  • the locking plug of the displacing device is lowered by means of the drive into the mouth of the displacing cone, at that the cooling agent—air or water, are supplied into the covering around the mouth.
  • the melt in a gap between the plug and the mouth is crystallized, separating the melt in the reactor vessel from slugs in the displacing device.
  • the plate heater is switched on.
  • the salt in the area of contact of cone end of the displacing device and flap bottom is melt, the bottom is thrown off by the means of the drive, and the content of displacing device is removed.
  • the heater and heating tubes are still switched on.
  • the bottom is closed by the drive, and the plate heater is switched off.
  • the supply of cooling agent to the mouth covering of the displacing device is stopped.
  • the salt is melted under the influence of high temperature in a gap between the plug and the mouth of displacing device, and the plug is raised by means of the drive, releasing the mouth.
  • Calcium silicate is precipitated as crystals, at that melt's dynamic viscosity and residue melting temperature decrease due to formation of sodium chloride.
