Abstract: This invention provides a method for reclaiming oil from waste plastic in such a way that thermosetting resins and solid foreign matter in the plastic will not pose a problem. This method greatly reduces the burden of presorting the garbage or industrial waste. To achieve this objective when oil is to be reclaimed from a waste plastic containing chlorine compounds, such as vinyl chloride, the plastic must first be stripped of chlorine. Prior to pyrolysis, while being conveyed forward in a continuous stream, the plastic is mixed with heated sand and/or an additive agent to raise its temperature to 250-350° C. This creates a product which is comprised of a mixture of sand and substantially dechlorinated plastic. The product is mixed with heated sand to heat it directly to a temperature of 350-500° C. It is maintained at this temperature until pyrolysis occurs.

Abstract: According to the present invention, boiler water is pressurized so that its boiling point is set at approximately 200.degree. C. to 320.degree. C. The boiler water is heated in at least two stages. Thermal energy of gases containing chlorine compounds is used to heat the water to its boiling point. Thermal energy of gases which do not contain chlorine compounds is used to heat the water from its boiling point until superheated steam of a given temperature is generated. The heating which uses the thermal energy of gases containing chlorine compounds is accomplished using the thermal energy from the combustion of pyrolysis gases obtained from a pyrolysis means in which waste material is supplied into a chamber containing a fluidized bed medium which has been heated to at least 300.degree. C., and a pyrolytic reaction is induced.

Abstract: Disclosed are a catalyst filter characterized in that catalyst particles which are made of titanium oxide and vanadium oxide or titanium oxide, vanadium oxide and tungsten oxide and whose diameters are between 0.01 and 1 .mu.m are carried by a filter made by weaving monofilaments of a glass fiber and/or of a catalytic fiber;a method for manufacturing thereof; anda comprehensive method for treating a combustion exhaust gas characterized in that an alkaline powder or ammonia or its precursor is supplied to a flow of a combustion exhaust gas containing toxic substances such as dust, acidic gases and nitrogen oxides, and the flow of a combustion exhaust gas is let pass through a filter carrying a catalyst for denitrating the above combustion exhaust gas.

Abstract: A process for the systematic treatment of exhaust gases which comprises the steps of injecting a neutralizing absorbent and an auxiliary agent into the exhaust gas and passing the exhaust gas through a filter which has been precoated with the auxiliary agent, as used above, whereby the neutralizing absorbent and the auxiliary agent are permitted to deposit as a layer on the precoated filter and are able to collect the acidic gas components and dust in the exhaust gas and blowing ammonia into the emitted purified exhaust gas so that nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas are reduced, in the presence of a denitrating catalyst, into nitrogen gas.

Abstract: A filter medium for treating exhaust gases is described. The filter medium comprises a porous ceramic substrate, a pre-coat layer of a reaction aid and a layer of a solid material formed on one side of the substrate from which the exhaust gas is charged through the substrate, and a catalyst layer for eliminating nitrogen oxides formed on the other side of the substrate from which the exhaust gas is discharged. The filter medium may have a double-cylinder construction, in which the catalyst layer is formed on at least one side of a inner cylinder and the pre-coat layer and the solid material layer are formed on an outer side of an outer cylinder.
