method and plant for energy recovery from toxic waste in their co disposal.

摘要

In a process for producing energy from toxic wastes with simultaneous disposal of the latter, the wastes having at least considerable proportions of substituted hydrocarbons, it is proposed that the waste is thermally decomposed in a heatable reactor in the presence of a poorly smeltable metal oxide and of an electrically conductive material, for example electrode carbon or electrographite, and in contact with steam, an amount of metal oxide corresponding to the chlorine content of the wastes being converted into volatile metal chloride and a proportion of liberated carbon being converted into carbon monoxide and a proportion of the carbon which does not react with the metal oxide being converted with the aid of a stoichiometric amount of steam into water gas, CO + H2.
