Abstract
Abstract A process and apparatus for combusting halogenated organic materials wherein such materials are combusted at a temperature of at least 600°C in a refractory-lined furnace, the combustion gases formed are cooled and the acid constituent(s) thereof are subsequently stripped by contact with an aqueous liquid, the furnace being externally cooled such that the temperature of its metal casing lies between 140°C and 375°C thereby minimizing corrosion of the casing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
In the apparatus for combusting halogenated organic materials wherein the temperature of combustion ranges from about 600°C to about 1800°C comprising a. a refractory-lined metal furnace having at least one inlet for the introduction of halogenated organic material, oxygen-containing gas and fuel and/or hydrogen source b. means for cooling hot combustion gases, and c. means for removing at least one acid constituent from the cooled gases, the improvement which consists of a cover surrounding the furnace and forming an air jacket between the metal casing of the furnace and the cover said cover having on the bottom at least one air inlet and on the top at least one stack as an air exit, the distance between the metal casing of the furnace and the cover and the number and size of the inlets and stacks being such that the temperature of the metal casing of the furnace is held by a flow of air between about 140°C and about 375°C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
In the apparatus for combusting halogenated organic materials wherein the temperature of combustion ranges from about 600°C to about 1800°C comprising a. a refractory-lined metal furnace having at least one inlet for the introduction of halogenated organic material, oxygen-containing gas and fuel and/or hydrogen source b. means for cooling hot combustion gases, and c. means for removing at least one acid constituent from the cooled gases, the improvement which consists of a cover surrounding the furnace and forming an air jacket between the metal casing of the furnace and the cover said cover having on the bottom at least one air inlet and on the top at least one stack as an air exit, the distance between the metal casing of the furnace and the cover and the number and size of the inlets and stacks being such that the temperature of the metal casing of the furnace is held by a flow of air between about 140°C and about 375°C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
