Abstract: In a flue gas treating system, an absorption tower (21), a reheating section (22) and a fan (23) are arranged in line on a vertical axis so as to function as at least a part of a stack for emitting the treated flue gas into the atmosphere. Moreover, in a flue gas treating process, the amount of ammonia injected in the denitration step (a denitrator (2)) and/or the amount of ammonia at a point downstream of the denitration step are determined so as to be on such an excessive level that ammonia or ammonium salt will remain in the flue gas introduced into the desulfurization step (absorption tower (21)). Thus, the size and cost of the equipment can be reduced.

Abstract: This invention relates to equipment for treating the aforesaid waste plastics directly with supercritical water, and an object thereof is to provide a method for the anticorrosive treatment of waste plastics treating equipment which makes it possible to use inexpensive stainless steel. Waste plastics treating equipment made of stainless steel is charged with a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution containing at least one alkali metal salt, and this aqueous solution is deaerated until its dissolved oxygen content is reduced to 0.5 mg/L or less. After the temperature and pressure of the equipment are raised until supercritical conditions are established, these temperature and pressure are maintained for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: This invention relates to a flue gas treating process including a heat recovery step for recovering heat from flue gas by means of a heat exchanger (4) and thereby cooling the flue gas, and a subsequent absorption step for bringing the flue gas into gas-liquid contact with an absorbing fluid (D) in absorption towers (12, 13) so as to remove at least SO2 present in the flue gas by absorption into the absorbing fluid (D), which is characterized, for example, in that a powder addition step for spraying a powder collectable in the absorption step into the flue gas is provided prior to the heat recovery step. This invention makes it possible to provide a flue gas treating process in which a countermeasure against SO3 present in flue gas can be easily achieved without resorting to ammonia injection and the flue gas can further be purified without the disadvantage of causing the injected substance to remain in the treated flue gas.

Abstract: Disclosed is an economical process for treating a large amount of plastics waste in which thermoplastics, crosslinked plastics, thermosetting plastics or a mixture thereof can be continuously and rapidly degraded and converted into oil without sorting various types of plastics waste. According to this process, powdered plastics obtained by grinding thermoplastics, crosslinked plastics, thermosetting plastics or a mixture thereof is mixed with water to form a slurry, and a dispersing agent such as a water-absorbing resin, a water-soluble polymer or a surface-active agent is added thereto. The resulting mixed slurry is fed to a tubular continuous reactor where the powdered plastics is degraded under reaction conditions causing the water to be in or near its supercritical region. Finally, oil is recovered from the reaction product.
