The present invention relates to a method for treating carbonaceous materials by steam thermolysis, comprising: shredding carbonaceous waste materials, introducing the shredded carbonaceous waste materials into a reactor heated by combustion gases, gases laden with steam being introduced into the reactor so as to heat said shredded carbonaceous waste materials to a temperature between 200 and 700° C. during a steam thermolysis reaction, cooling the combustion gases to a temperature between 200 and 450° C. and discharging said gases, discharging from the reactor the vapor/gas products formed in the reactor by steam thermolysis, followed by condensation of said products, separating the condensate obtained from said condensation into water containing residual hydrocarbons and into oil, the water from the condensate being used as a source of heat energy for the reactor. The present invention also relates to a device for implementing the invention. |
