A hazardous waste incinerator (100, 200, 300, 400) is provided herein. The incinerator includes an inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411) and a separate outer combustion chamber (162, 232, 332, 432). The inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411) is either formed from, or is lined with, a non-porous, impervious, corrosion-resistant material (153, 216, 323, 417). The inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411) includes a means (128, 222, 322, 422) for supporting hazardous waste (130) to be incinerated, and a recirculating blower (156, 220, 320, 420). The outer combustion chamber (162, 232, 332, 432) is an insulated chamber and is provided in sealed, spaced-apart relationship to the inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411). The heat produced in the outer combustion chamber (162, 232, 332, 432) induces incineration of hazardous waste in the inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411). The outer combustion chamber (162, 232, 332, 432) is in sealed relationship, and does not communicate with, the inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411). The products of incineration of the hazardous waste from the inner incineration chamber (151, 212, 312, 411) are removed as a stream (158) which is separate and distinct from, and does not mix with, the products of combustion (170) in the combustion chamber. <IMAGE> |
