  • Publication number: 20210269721
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fuel and additional hydrocarbons from waste plastic comprising the steps of providing at least one plastic material; exposing said at least one plastic material to a primary cracking to obtain a first hydrocarbon fluid; said first hydrocarbon fluid being a gas; exposing said first hydrocarbon gas to a catalytic hydrogenation to obtain a second hydrocarbon fluid; fractional separation of said second hydrocarbon fluid to obtain at least one final product. The present invention further relates to a waste recycling system for recycling waste plastic into fluid hydrocarbon compounds.

  • Patent number: 8133458
    Abstract: A reactor for converting methane, ammonia and oxygen and alkaline or alkaline earth hydroxides into alkaline or alkaline earth cyanides by two-stage reactions comprising a first stage with a gas inlet, wherein the first stage is formed by a cone with distribution plates providing an even gas distribution over the catalyst material wherein the distribution plates are located between the gas inlet of the reactor and catalyst material and the distribution plates being perforated with a number of holes, with the distribution plates spaced from each other in the flow direction of the gas, the first distribution plate(s) functioning mainly to distribute the gas, whereas the last distribution plate works as a heat radiation shield and as a distribution plate facing the catalyst material, and wherein the catalyst material is present in the form of catalyst gauze fixed by catalyst weights.

  • Patent number: 4973457
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reduction of nitrogen oxides in gas mixtures, especially the removal/decomposition of nitrogen oxide in hot combustion gases. The hot gas mixture which contains N.sub.2 O is given a retention time of 0.1-3 seconds before being cooled down. About 90% of N.sub.2 O is thereby decomposed to N.sub.2 and O.sub.2. A hot gas mixture formed by catalytic combustion of ammonia is given a retention time of 0.5-2 seconds before it is cooled in a heat recovery unit. The combustion gases can also be brought in contact with a metal or metal oxide catalyst for selective decomposition of the N.sub.2 O.
