process for removal of pollutants from contaminated materials, particularly contaminated soils and construction and demolition waste.

摘要

In the process, the material freed from coarse components by sieving and crushing is subjected to a distillation at a temperature of 300 to 600 DEG C, preferably to a vacuum distillation (21) at a temperature of 350 to 450 DEG C. The invention proposes that the contaminated material, before it is subjected to the distillation process, is pretreated as follows: a fraction having a particle size above 50 mm is separated off (1) from the contaminated material, crushed (3) to a particle size below 50 mm, together with the fraction produced during the separation and having the particle size below 50 mm subjected to a drying process (6) at a temperature of 100 to 130 DEG C and then crushed (16) to a particle size below 2 mm.
