METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WASTE MATERIAL

摘要

An apparatus for treating waste comprising: an insulated structure having a plurality of heating assemblies being held thereof, each of said heating assemblies being arranged in a manner wherein it is capable of providing flame heat in said insulated structure, said insulated structure being made such that it is capable of accomodating and disposing waste materials being heated and carbonized therein, insulated structure includes an insulated hollow outer shell member and hollow inner shell member that defines a heating chamber disposed therebetween, a waste heating chamber being defined by said inner shell member, and conveying means provided within the inner shell member being held thereof in a manner wherein it is capable of providing movement and disposal of the heated and/or carbonized waste materials disposed in the inner shell member, each of said heating assemblies consisting of a pre-heating chamber in communication with said heating chamber, a superheated steam producing means in communication with said pre-heating chamber, and a burner fixedly held on said superheated steam producing means and being arranged such that it is capable of providing flame heat in said superheated steam producing means, pre-heating chamber and heating chamber, said superheated steam producing means being capable of transforming water contained therein into superheated steam through utilization of heat generated by said burner and facilitates introduction of hydrogen and oxygen gases derived from said superheated steam into the burner flame in the pre-heating chamber, and synthesis gas line in communication with said waste heating chamber being arranged such that it is capable of allowing the introduction into the burner flame the synthesis gas produced during heating of the waste material within the waste heating chamber.
