Garbage disposal process
Abstract
Abstract GARBAGE AND OTHER INORGANIC AND ORGANIC SOLID WASTE MATTER IS REDUCED TO SMALL SIZE AND MIXED WITH A FLUID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF H2O, LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL, LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL-PARTICULATE CARBON SLURRY OR PARTICULATE CARBON-WATER SLURRY PRODUCED SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE PROCESS, AND MIXTURES THEREOF TO PRODUCE A FEED MIXTURE STREAM. THE FEED MIXTURE IS PREFERABLY PREHEATED TO PRODUCE A FEED DISPERSION STREAM COMPRISING BITS OF GARBAGE AND SOLID WASTE MATTER, PARTICULATE CARBON, LIQUID AND VAPORIZED HYDROCARBON FUEL, AND STEAM. BY THE PARTIAL OXIDATION OF THE FEED MIXTURE OR DISPERSION STREAM WITH A STREAM OF OXYGEN-RICH GAS IN THE REACTION ZONE OF A FREE-FLOW UNPACKED NONCATALYTIC SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATOR AT AN AUTOGENOUS TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1500 TO 3000*F. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1 TO 250 ATMOSPHERES, THE GARBAGE AND SOLID WASTE MATTER ARE CONVERTED INTO A STREAM OF SYNTHESIS GAS OR FUEL GAS, AND OTHER VALUABLE BY-PRODUCTS.
