Definitions
- ABSTRACT A method and apparatus are disclosed which are based on utilizing a plural number of long are column forming plasma torches in combination with a refractory lined furnace chamber to continuously pyrolyze household and industrial refuse material fed into the chamber and convert the same to usable materials and useful forms of energy.
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for. reducing the physical weight and volume of refuse by'subjecting it to direct radiated. and convected heat from a long plasma arc column.
- This invention utilizes a plurality of long are column forming plasma torches in combination with a furnace chamber to thermally decompose unsegregated refuse into a gaseous and molten fluid state.
- Conveyor means are adapted to continuously supply refuse to the furnace chamber while smoke recycling means are adapted to prevent the gases being produced within the chamber from escaping.
- the furnace chamber is formed so as to have a somewhat bowl-shaped refractor lined interior hearth portion into which the long are forming plasma torches are directed.
- the hearth portion further includes a normally electrically disconnected graphite electrode but which may be appropriately connected into the electrical circuit when needed as an electrode.
- a lip formed along one edge of the refractory material provides a fluid outlet for the molten refuse.
- Pyrolysis of the refuse proceeds as long are plasmas are generated between the various torches residing in vertical wall portions of the furnace chamber, and molten metallic portions of the refuse collects in the hearth.
- the heat radiated and convected from the generated long are plasma columns is sufficient to reduce the remaining organic and non-combustible portion of the refuse to either a molten or gaseous state.
- Some of the evolved gases rise, preheat the refuse and are then reintroduced into the reduction process.
- the molten refuse reaches the level of the outlet lip it is oxidized by an incoming stream of gas, e.g., air.
- the oxidized molten refuse then enters a water bath which effectively provides a water seal and forms into a solid slag for later recovery by appropriate handling means.
- the slag may be maintained heated for purposes of molding the same.
- the gaseous products of the pyrolyzed refuse are simultaneously converted into saturated steam and other gases which may beneutralized or combusted by introduction of gases other than thementioned air.
- the hot gases may then drive appropriate energy conversion means such as a turbine generator and may be scrubbed or otherwise purified before being released to the atomosphere.
- FIG. 1 is a cross sectional side view ofa typical refuse converting apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cutaway side view of a long arc column forming plasma torch employed in the instant invention generally shown in operating position inside a furnace chamber.
- FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a refuse converting apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a somewhat schematic diagram of an electrical circuit employed in the instant invention.
- a complete refuse converting apparatus includes a furnace chamber a plurality of directionally stable long arc column forming plasma torches, generally designated 12, of the type disclosed in previously referred to US. Pat. No. 3,673,375, projecting through selected apertures 11 in vertical walls 14 of said furnace chamber 15. Also included is a somewhat concave refractory lined furnace hearth 17 having an integrally formed graphite electrode 18.
- Said refuse converting apparatus is also provided with a refuse hopper 20 including sealed refuse conveying means 21 and smoke recovery means 23, together being adapted to continuously feed refuse materials into said furnace chamber 15, while maintaining smoke and noxious gases within the chamber.
- refuse as used in this disclosure includes raw unsegregated refuse of a municipal or industrial nature or any mixture of both. By unsegregated” what is meant is that organic wastes are mixed with tin cans, bottles, paper, etc.
- each plasma torch 12 is adapted to form a transferred long arc column of from 10 to inches with molten refuse material 19 a portion of which is metallic. Due to the intense heat being generated (1,000 to 2,000K), the nonmolten refuse (represented by dashed lines 22) is rapidly pyrolyzed into gaseous and molten fluid components in the absence, at this point, of appreciable combustion.
- gases other than air or oxygen may be introduced to combust or neutralize such refuse gases.
- Gas vent 32 receives the hot combusted vapor while a water bath 33 receives the molten residue and reduces it into a solidified slag material 38.
- the solidified slag aggregate is a highly salable item due to its silica and metallic content.
- a ridge of molded refractory material 34 adjacent lip 16 further enhances combustion and further degradation of the molten refuse by increasing the surface area over which the refuse is exposed to oxidation.
- the action of the water seal with the molten refuse serves to generate additional steam.
- a turbine generator 35 may receive the hot gases entering gas vent 32 and be used to generate more electrical power than is consumed by the torches.
- Appropriate gas treatment means (not shown) receive and scrub the combusted gases until safe for release to atmosphere.
- selected valuable gases e.g., methane, may be separated by well-known means before being combusted by withdrawing a portion of the gas by appropriate means (not shown).
- the now solidified slag 38 may be handled by appropriate blade or other suitable conveyor means 60 and finally withdrawn from the water bath by additional handling apparatus 61 for later use.
- a long arc column plasma torch is defined as being an apparatus and an electrical conductor in the arc circuit and includes a cylindrical shaped electrode 36, a gas directing nozzle 37 axially aligned with, forwardly spaced and insulated from electrode 36, and appropriate gas and electrical supply means (not shown).
- a pilot are indicated by dashed lines 45, may be struck between electrode 36 and nozzle 37 by introducing a current potential therebetween while simultaneously applying a vortical flow of gas directed outward through said nozzle 37.
- Such a pilot arc is readily trans ferred to a metallic material 46 also in the electrical circuit when such pilot are 45 becomes proximate said metallic matter (i.e., 4-7 inches) by appropriately advancing said torch 12 into a position proximate said metallic refuse 46.
- a metallic material 46 i.e., 4-7 inches
- a first long arc column plasma torch 40 in preferred form, is adapted to extend through an aperture 47 in a portion of a rear wall 51 of said furnace chamber 15 while second 41 and third 42 long are column plasma torches are adapted to extend through apertures 48, 49 in adjacent corner wall portions 52 of said furnance chamber.
- a sleeve or collar 53 FIG. 1
- each respective aperture 47, 48, 49 is adapted to enable horizontal and vertical angular, as well as axial, movement of each plasma torch within its respective mounting position while preventing heat and noxious gases from escaping through apertures 47, 48, 49.
- Remotely controllable torch positioning means 24 (FIG. 1) are provided to enable accurate positioning of the plasma torches.
- each long arccolumn forming plasma torch utilized in the present invention includes a cylindrical shaped internal electrode 36 and a gas directing nozzle 37 axially aligned with, forwardly spaced and insulated from electrode and appropriate gas, water and electrical supply means (not shown).
- gas and water supply means areconsidered well-establishedin the art requiring no further elaboration herein, a better understanding may be gained of the invention by a discussion'of its advantageous use of power in starting and maintaining the various long arc plasma columns. Utilizing a three phase A. C.
- wye 55 having a floating neutral 56 to conveniently supply power to three long arc column forming plasma torches 12, a given torch internal electrode 36 is connected to an individual current phase. It is apparent that if more than three torches are employed, a greater number of phases may be utilized.
- Each torch nozzle 37 is connected to an adjacent phase 58 via an appropriate .choke 59. In this manner, apilot arc 45 may be struck between the nozzle 37 and internal electrode 36 of each torch without introducing a consumable electrical conductor by applying the phase to adjacent phase voltage differential, caused byvchoke 59, across internal electrode 36 and nozzle 37 and by simultaneously introducing a gas vortical flow through nozzle 37.
- the current passing through the pilot arc 45- is substantially smaller than that of the main arc 13 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) which is subsequently adapted to be transferred to the metal scrap to be melted.
- Simultaneous transferral of at least two pilot arcs 45 to the metallic refuse component establishes at least two main transferred arcs (not shown) and completes a phase 57 to adjacent phase 58 loop whereby the full available current is now utilized.
- one or more torches may become inoperable.
- a falling porcelain coated refrigerator or a sudden deluge of rotten vegetables may stifle an are.
- any single torch may be operated phase to neutral and a new plasma column path may be established by restarting with a pilot arc.
- contact with an electrically conductive melt or an electrically conductive unmelted refuse is lost to a particular plasma column connection may be made to graphite electrode 18 to a ground or neutral 79 (FIG. 1) by a suitable manual or remotely operated contactor 78. Once a molten metallic pool is reestablished the other torches may be again utilized.
- the instant invention provides an efficient and environmentally safe alternative to landfill, and combustive incineration practices of refuse disposal while at the same time providing a source for energy through the use of long are column forming plasma torches. According to the invention, it is now possible to continuously decrease the physical weight and volume of raw unsegregated refuse while converting the evolved products to useful materials and useful energy.
