Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for effectively utilizing thermal energy possessed by a high-temperature combustion gas discharged from a combustor and utilizing high-temperature oxygen contained in the high-temperature combustion gas discharged from the combustor. A fluidized-bed gasification apparatus for gasifying combustibles in a fluidized-bed furnace comprises a gasification furnace (2) for gasifying combustibles therein, and a combustion furnace (1) for combusting combustible components therein. The fluidized medium moves between the gasification furnace (2) and the combustion furnace (1), and exhaust gas discharged from another combustor is utilized as a fluidizing gas in the combustion furnace (1).

Abstract: A combustion method and apparatus in which combustible matter, e.g., waste matter, coal, etc., is gasified to produce a combustible gas containing a sufficiently large amount of combustible component to melt the ash by its own heat. A fluidized-bed furnace (2) has an approximately circular horizontal cross-sectional configuration. A moving bed (9), in which a fluidized medium settles and diffuses, is formed in the central portion of the furnace, and a fluidized bed (10), in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized, is formed in the peripheral portion in the furnace. The fluidized medium is turned over to the upper part of the moving bed (9) from the upper part of the fluidized bed (10), thus circulating through the two beds. Combustible matter (11) is cast into the upper part of the moving bed (9) and gasified to form a combustible gas while circulating, together with the fluidized medium.

A thermal energy recovery chamber is partitioned from the main combustion chamber by an inclined partition wall. A fluidized medium flows into and out of the main combustion chamber and the thermal energy recovery chamber. A free board is provided integrally above the main combustion chamber and the thermal energy recovery chamber so that combustion gas from the main combustion chamber and the thermal energy recovery chamber is mixed in the free board.
