摘要:
Volatile matter can be removed from material containing volatile matter removable by heat, e.g., coal and coke by delivering the material to a hearth so as to form a bed, touching the bed with downwardly projecting members disposed above the hearth, e.g., rabbles, moving the hearth and rabbles in relation to each other so as to cause movement of said material from the point of delivery of said material onto said hearth toward point of exit from said hearth, imposing an electrical potential between a point on the projecting members and a spaced point in the bed of material so as to cause heating by electrical resistance and thus remove at least a portion of the volatile matter. Preferably, the volatile matter is oxidizable and can be oxidized within a chamber enclosing the hearth so as to deliver additional heat to the bed causing additional devolatilization.
摘要:
Improved quenching of pyrolytically cracked gas is effected by separating the hydrocarbon-water emulsion produced in a quenching zone having a plurality of stages and then transferring the emulsion to the initial stage of the quenching zone wherein incoming gases vaporize the water from the emulsion. Also, transferring a slurry containing particulate carbon, e.g., produced in the Wulff process by scrubbing the exhaust gases of the generation step, to the initial stage of the quenching zone and recovery of hydrocarbon and particulate carbon is taught.

A pyrolysis furnace such as a Wulff furnace having an octagonal baffle in each of the combustion chambers, located so that the longitudinal axis of the baffle is between the fuel inlets of the combustion chamber and the center refractory mass which separates two combustion chambers.

A sensing device is used in the cutting of coke from a coke drum. The sensing device relays to the cutting operator information as to the size and quantity of the coke being cut. The travel of the cutting nozzel may also be controlled automatically in response to information detected by the sensing device.
