THERMAL DECOMPOSITION FURNACE FOR EXHAUST GAS

摘要

An inventive thermal decomposition furnace for exhaust gas for thermally decomposing harmful substances contained in the exhaust gas to make them harmless. The thermal decomposition furnace comprises a heating chamber for heating the exhaust gas; an inlet port for introducing the exhaust gas into the heating chamber; at least one pair of electrodes provided within the heating chamber; a plurality of light emitting heaters which contain carbon as a main ingredient, provided between the at least one pair of electrodes so as to cause an electric discharge across the at least one pair of electrodes when a voltage is applied across the at least one pair of electrodes; and an outlet port for discharging the thermally decomposed exhaust gas out of the heating chamber. The plurality of light emitting heaters are placed in an oxygenless state or a vacuum state. The present invention provides an inexpensive thermal decomposition furnace for exhaust gas which is attached to equipment or facilities comprising an incinerator which discharges exhaust gas or smoke containing harmful substances to thermally decompose the harmful substances to make them harmless.
