摘要:
For disposal of waste material including water, volatile components and vitrifiable components, the waste material is heated in a dehydrator to remove the water, heated in a high-temperature dryer to vaporize hydrocarbon liquids, and then fed to the focus point of a primary plasma reactor where plasma arc jets are focused on the surface of a pool of the vitrifiable components. At the focus point the vitrifiable components are melted, and the volatile components are volatized. The melted vitrifiable components are received in a quench chamber where they solidify on a quench roller and are broken into chips and delivered to a receiving area. Heat from the quench chamber is transferred to the dehydrator and high-temperature dryer. The hydrocarbon liquids and volatized components are fed to a secondary plasma reactor where they are disassociated into their elemental components. The effluent from the secondary plasma reactor is scrubbed to remove hydrogen sulfide and halogens, and residual components, together with excess water vapor, are extracted in an absorber and fed back for further processing in the secondary plasma reactor.

A spherulizing furnace for manufacturing vitreous beads, including a chamber; means for heating the chamber; feed means for delivering a particulate feedstock to one end of the chamber; and means for collecting vitreous beads from another end of the chamber, wherein the chamber includes a pair of opposed walls which are spaced apart by a distance less than their breadth and which are angled to the horizontal so that the chamber has an upper end and a lower end, the feed means is arranged to deliver feedstock to the upper end of the chamber so that the feedstock can pass through the chamber under gravity, and the means for heating the chamber is arranged to heat at least one wall of the pair of opposed walls so that feedstock passing between the pair of opposed walls is heated by radiant heat.

The invention covers a method as well as a device for controlling the discharge of molten material from a melter or an intermediate vessel containing such material, in which a primary outflow from the melter or intermediate vessel is fed to an overflow system the working level of which is regulated through the use of pneumatic pressure on a communicating chamber pertaining to the overflow system. Molten material may be led into a primary overflow through the use of a pneumatic lift.

A method for producing flake particles by projecting a continuing stream of molten material upon the surface of a rotating generally circular, heat extracting drum, having a serrated edge with each serration comprising a radial surface and an angularly disposed connecting surface from the base of one radial surface to the peripheral extremity of the adjacent radial surface; and rotating the heat extracting drum at a speed relative to the size and shape of the serrations and relative to the rate of molten material projection to form a discrete flake particle on each angularly disposed surface; followed by removing each particle from the surface after each particle is at least partially solidified; and cooling the particles in a surrounding atmosphere.An apparatus for producing flake particles comprising means for projecting a stream of molten material upon a rotatable heat extracting drum member having a serrated generally circular peripheral edge, with each serration having a radial surface and an angular surface connecting the base of one radial surface with the peripheral extremity of the next radial surface; and a shaft supporting the heat extracting member for rotation at a controlled speed; with means responsive to the rate of projection of the molten material upon the serrated surface of the heat extracting member to control its speed of rotation relative to the rate of projection of molten material.
