Definitions

  • Feed injection devices such as lances or tuyeres are commonly used for injecting various feed materials, such as organic compositions, into a molten bath, such as a molten metal bath or molten salt bath, Such devices are particularly useful for submerged injection of waste materials into a molten metal reactor at operating conditions which break down the waste materials into constituent components which can then be formed into useful products.
  • Tuyeres are typically embedded in the refractory wall that lines the reactor interior.
  • a tuyere is a pipe that extends through the refractory wall to the interior surface of the refractory wall, with the opening of the tuyere being usually located below the surface of the molten bath, either on the side or the bottom of the reactor wall.
  • Lances are feed injection devices mounted to the top of the reactor which extend " from the reactor headspace into the molten bath to allow for submerged injection of feed,
  • a mechanical device is provided which allows the lance to be retracted from the bath when feed is not being injected.
  • a portion of the feed material can crack and cause cooling that may lead to accretion formation and deposition of cracked materials can form an accretion of feed and partially decomposed feed at the opening of the feed injection device which can lead to operational problems and diminish the availability of the system to process waste materials,
  • One attempt to avoid accretion of the feed material about the feed injection inlet is to direct an excessive amount of oxidant, such as oxygen gas, into the feed injection device to burn off the accretion.
