<p>The solid, liquid and gaseous waste products which arise during the manufature of carbon electrodes are concentrated. First, the solid electrode waste is mixed with the carbon-rich dusts from crushing operations, and with lime or lime and gypsum (from a wet scrubbing operation). By means of grinding and screening the mixture is converted to a suitable range of fine particulate sizes, then fed continuously as adsorbent material through a dry scrubbing unit through which is passed the gaseous waste that also contains fractions of fluid waste. The thus charged adsorbent is combusted together with oily waste in a low temperature fluidized bed boiler. The resultant ash and slag which contain the pollutants as non-hazardous calcium sulfate or calcium fluoride are transported to a dumping site. The adsorbent for dry scrubbing units for purifying waste gases from units manufacturing carbon electrodes comprises fine-grained, ground electrode residue, carbon-rich dusts from crushing operations and lime or lime and gypsum.</p> |
