Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
THE METHOD OF DISTILLING AGGLOMERATIVE HYDROCARBONACEOUS SOLIDS WHICH COMPRISES CIRCULATING A STREAM OF GAS THROUGH A CONFINED MASS OF FINELY DIVIDED CARBONACEOUS SOLIDS UNDER FLUIDIZING CONDITIONS, HEATING SAID MASS TO A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO EFFECT DISTILLATION OF SAID AGGLOMERATIVE SOLIDS, CONTINUOUSLY WITHDRAWING A PORTION OF SAID CONFINED MASS TO A POSITION EXTERIOR THEREOF, INJECTING A GAS-SOLIDS SUSPENSION CONSISTING OF FINELY DIVIDED FRESH AGGLOMERATIVE HYDROCARBONACEOUS SOLIDS SUSPENDED IN A SECOND STREAM OF GAS INTO SAID WITHDRAWN PORTION AT SAID EXTERIOR POSITION, THE VELOCITY OF SAID SECOND STREAM OF GAS BEING ADEQUATE TO CREATE STRONG TURBULENCE, CIRCULATING A COOLING MEDIUM IN HEAT EXCHANGE RELATION WITH SAID SUSPENSION OF FRESH SOLIDS TO COOL SAID SUSPENSION TO A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE AGGLOMERATING TEMPERATURE OF SAID SOLIDS UNTIL THE POINT OF INJECTION IS REACHED, RETURNING THE MIXTURE SO FORMED TO THE CONFINED MASS IN THE FORM OF A GASEOUS SUSPENSION AND RECOVERING THE PRODUCTS OF DISTILLATION
