Process for the gasification of glass fiber reinforced plastics, and apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to processes and apparatus for effectively utilizing glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFPR) waste to produce a gas utilizable as a synthesis gas. A process for the gasification of glass fiber reinforced plastics which comprises the first step of feeding a glass fiber reinforced plastic material to a gasification section, heating the material to a temperature of 650 to 750 DEG C in the presence of oxygen and steam to gasify the plastic component thereof, and recovering the remaining glass fibers; and the second step of introducing the resulting plastic gas into a plastic gas decomposition section, burning the plastic gas in the presence of additional oxygen or an additional mixture of oxygen and steam at a temperature of 700 to 1,000 DEG C, and recovering the synthetic gas so produced.
