Method and apparatus for grinding hot material and recovering gasses emitted therefrom

摘要

A system for grinding hot coke includes feeding the hot coke into the system, while maintaining the system under less than atmospheric pressure, wetting the coke during this feeding step to assure constant flow of the coke into a grinding mill where the coke is reduced to a slurry and forwarded to a holding tank. The system includes apparatus to recover and treat vapors derived from the grinding of the coke and to feed the slurry to gasification means.
