    摘要: An appliance is provided having a waste receptor module and an energy generation module for converting household waste into energy. The receptor module has a rotary drum with an opening for receiving the household waste and a steam reforming means for converting the waste into synthesis gas. A swing arm is attached adjacent to the opening in the rotary drum and a sealing door is mounted on the swing arm for sealing the opening when the waste receptor module is in operation. An outer door is used to cover the sealing door. The steam reforming means includes a tube mounted within the rotary drum for receiving the volatilized organic waste and an internal heater for heating the organic waste to temperatures to convert the waste into the synthesis gas. The energy generation module has an inlet in fluid communication with the waste receptor module for receiving the synthesis gas and a fuel cell for converting the synthesis gas into electrical energy.

    摘要: The process and system of the invention converts carbonaceous feedstock from fossil fuels and other combustible materials into electrical energy without the production of unwanted greenhouse emissions. The process and system uses a combination of a gasifier to convert the carbonaceous feedstock and a greenhouse gas stream into a synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen. One portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier becomes electrochemically oxidized in an electricity-producing fuel cell into an exit gas comprising carbon dioxide and water. The latter is recycled back to the gasifier after the water is condensed out. The second portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier is converted into useful hydrocarbon products.

    摘要: A method and a system is disclosed for the suppression of foams during the processing of streams containing waste materials. An additive is introduced into a waste stream and the waste stream is processed for a period of time at an elevated temperature and substantially atmospheric pressure. The tendency toward foam formation is suppressed by particles from the additive becoming suspended in the waste stream. The waste materials containing a substantial reduction of foam are removed from the processing system without the usual spattering and formation of sticky residue which causes fowling and frequent shutdowns of the processing system.

    摘要: The method and apparatus of the invention converts harmful heteroatoms such as halogens, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorous in a heteroatom-substituted organic feed stream to less harmful materials by reacting with a reactive gas, such as steam, adjacent a reactive material which has been coated on a porous membrane. The reaction produces secondary products such as acid gases and/or that are neutralized or otherwise rendered innocuous by a reaction with the reactive material which coats the porous membrane. The solid products from the reaction are deposited onto the coating and can be periodically removed by means known in the industry. A gaseous effluent rendered substantially harmless passes through the porous membrane and is either vented or sent for further treatment by conventional means.

    摘要: A method is described to reactivating contaminated particulate adsorbent material. A gas stream is passed through the adsorbent material. The gas stream comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide and steam, and is substantially free of unbound oxygen. The temperature and flow rate of the gas stream is selected to volatilize organic compounds adsorbed by the adsorbent material. Thereafter, the gas stream is reacted with steam at a temperature of at least 700.degree. F. The steam with which the gas stream is reacted is in excess of the stoichiometric amount required to react with substantially all of the organic compounds in the gas stream. Thereafter the gas stream is circulated back to the adsorbent material for further passing therethrough. The cycle is continued until the level of contamination of the adsorbent material is below a predetermined level.

    摘要: The process and system of the invention converts carbonaceous feedstock such as coal, hydrocarbon oil, natural gas, petroleum coke, oil shale, carbonaceous-containing waste oil, carbonaceous-containing medical waste, carbonaceous-containing hazardous waste, carbonaceous-containing medical waste, and mixtures thereof into electrical energy without the production of unwanted greenhouse emissions. The process and system uses a combination of a gasifier, e.g., a kiln, operating in the exit range of at least 700° to about 1600° C. (1300–2900° F.) to convert the carbonaceous feedstock and a greenhouse gas stream into a synthesis gas comprising mostly carbon monoxide and hydrogen without the need for expensive catalysts and or high pressure operations. One portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier becomes electrochemically oxidized in an electricity-producing fuel cell into an exit gas comprising carbon dioxide and water. The latter is recycled back to the gasifier after a portion of water is condensed out. The second portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier is converted into useful hydrocarbon products.

    摘要: A catalytic cartridge surrounding a heat pipe driven by a heat source is utilized as a SO.sub.3 decomposer for thermochemical hydrogen production. The cartridge has two embodiments, a cross-flow cartridge and an axial flow cartridge. In the cross-flow cartridge, SO.sub.3 gas is flowed through a chamber and incident normally to a catalyst coated tube extending through the chamber, the catalyst coated tube surrounding the heat pipe. In the axial-flow cartridge, SO.sub.3 gas is flowed through the annular space between concentric inner and outer cylindrical walls, the inner cylindrical wall being coated by a catalyst and surrounding the heat pipe. The modular cartridge decomposer provides high thermal efficiency, high conversion efficiency, and increased safety.
