Abstract: A process is disclosed for obtaining energy from organic-containing waste materials by (1) precomminuting the waste material and determining its ratio of carbonaceous material and silicatic material; (2) further measuring the constituents in the waste material to determine the ratio of carbonaceous material and silicatic material; (3) maintaining the ratio of carbonaceous material and silicatic material at about 90% to 10%; (4) adding phyllosilicate to the waste material, separating the resulting mixture into solid, liquid and gaseous phases, and pelletizing the solid phase; (5) pyrrolizing the pellets forming a second gaseous phase and a second solids phase; and (6) supplying the second gaseous phase to a tank, and separating the second solids phase into end product carbonaceous and silicatic materials, and recovering the carbonaceous materials.

Abstract: A method for processing carbon dioxide contained in an exhaust gas flow. The exhaust gas flow is brought in contact in a drying and cooling chamber with a moistened porous silicate material and admixed aluminum hydroxide and/or hydrated aluminum oxide and/or optionally other metal oxidizers to produce a basic aqueous medium and to destabilize the carbon dioxide, and cooled. The amount of aluminum hydroxide and/or hydrated aluminum oxide to be added is controlled via a continuous pH value measurement, after which the aqueous medium is fed to a subsequent prechamber, which is supplied with material containing oxidizable alkaline earth and/or heavy metal, in which neutralization of the aqueous medium containing ionized carbon occurs. The formed alkaline earth and/or heavy metal oxide is discharged from the prechamber and the aqueous medium containing ionized carbon is then fed to a main chamber equipped with material consisting of and/or containing organic carbon compounds.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for breaking down toxic organic compounds contained in wastewaters and/or waste gases, in which the wastewaters and/or waste gases loaded with toxic organic compounds are first passed into an aqueous basic alkali/alkaline earth solution/suspension bath for destabilization of the toxic organic compounds and then the solution/suspension bath containing the destabilized toxic organic compounds is fed in ascending fashion into a capillary mass arranged above the bath, consisting of a mixture of pulps and peat mixed with bentonite, zeolite and/or lime with a particle size <200 ?m.

Abstract: A method for producing an oil-binding agent of granular open-porous structure with a silicate ceramic matrix by using recovered paper material and clay. The method is characterized in that, in each case based on the entire raw material, 35 to 60 wt.-% sewage sludge with a water content of between 70 and 85 wt.-%, 25 to 55 wt.-% recovered paper material with a water content of between 35 and 55 wt.-%, 10 to 25 wt.-% clay and optionally 1 to 3 wt.-% zeolite, 1 to 2 wt.-% quicklime and/or up to 3 wt. % fly ash are mixed to a homogeneous mixture. The raw material thus obtained is subsequently processed in order to form particles having an average diameter of 4 to 6 mm. The particles are then dried and subsequently burnt at 950 to 1050° C. The oil-binding agents produced according to said method have a bulk density of between 0.4 and 0.75 kg/1 and a oil-binding capability of 0.7 to 1.0 1 oil per oil-binder.

Abstract: The invention concerns a linking system (10) for fixing building elements (20, 30) such as natural or artificial stones. The linking system (10) comprises: a first dowel (60) having a first internal orifice (80) comprising a first hole axis, and which is introduced into a first building element (20) by being adapted to be fixed into a first hole (40) which has a first hole axis; and a second dowel (70) having a second internal hole (90), and which is introduced into a second building element (30) by being adapted to be fixed into a second hole (50) which has a second hole axis. Between the first dowel (60) and the second dowel (70) is provided a sleeve (100) wherein a rod (110) is inserted.
