  • Patent number: 5726238
    Abstract: A material composed of carbon compounds may be shaped into high-quality moulded bodies, foils, plates, pipes or the like by all usual plastics processing machines, and may further be reused several times with no perceptible loss of quality. Above all, it may be disposed of by incineration with a high calorific value without fouling the incineration plants or polluting the atmosphere with toxic, harmful substances in an inadmissible manner.
    Type: Grant

    Inventor: Klaus-Dietrich Nickel
  • Patent number: 5009371
    Abstract: A rotary disintegration apparatus comprises a housing with a central material input and a material outlet that is open underneath, an inner rotor fixed to a first shaft and an outer rotor fixed to a second shaft on the same axis that rotates in the opposite direction, and blade rings that follow each other in alternation having blades which are inclined in the direction of rotation, which can be coated with a protective layer, which have front and rear edges of hard wear-resistant material, and which sit on one side on retaining rings and on the other side on assembly rings forming replaceable components of annular assembly ring carriers that are connected to the shafts.

  • Patent number: 4899901
    Abstract: A container that is arranged on rollers and can be rotated by either rotary drive system or manually about its longitudinal axis within a stacking frame is configured as a body of rotation and provided inside with a mechanical delivery and fluidizing system. One of the container bottoms serves as a voiding bottom and is combined with a voiding system that comprises a passage for the bulk material that passes through a central opening in the voiding bottom. The opposite container bottom serves as a pressure-equalizing bottom and is combined with a pressure-equalizing system.

  • Patent number: 4891038
    Abstract: A drive and bearing arrangement for two rotor systems of a disintegrator which rotate in opposite directions and are mounted next to each other. Each rotor system has a rotor support member and a drive hub. The rotor support member of each rotor system is rotatably mounted through a rotor bearing directly on a common vibration absorbing and elastically mounted support and supply tube. The other end of each hub is rotatably mounted through a drive bearing on an axially movable shaft stub mounted in a bearing block.

  • Patent number: 4635572
    Abstract: A process and devices with which the fused sulphur is removed from fossil fuels, preferably coke and petrocoke, ahead of the furnace or the like and is fused with an additive. In the combustion chamber, the additive with the fused sulphur is then sintered. The fuel is desulphurized at a temperature management controllable by an electronic process computer, at controllable residence times and pressure conditions in leading zones so that practically completely desulphurized fuel is burned in the combustion chamber. The sulphur components are removed with the additive via an ash removal plant. A combustion of the sulphur components of the fuel to SO.sub.2 within the combustion chamber does not occur.
