Abstract:
An improved burner (10) for partial oxidation process gas generators is provided which has annular passages (26) formed between coaxially aligned conduits (13, 24) extending from upstream sources to the downstream reaction zone. An outer coolant jacket (21), internally baffled (22) from optimum coolant flow and sized for minimum downstream area surrounds a recessed and fuel/oxidizer delivery conduit (13) ending in a nozzle. The central delivery conduit(13) is not attached to the coolant jacket and the annular space between them (26) is connected to a high pressure supply of relatively inert gas which can periodically be vented through the annular space to prevent slag build up on the nozzle (20) or coolant jacket (21).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for minimizing hydrogen halide corrosion in quench gasifier during the non-catalytic partial oxidation reaction of a halogen-containing hydrocarbonaceous feed, to produce a hydrogen halide-containing synthesis gas, finely divided particulate solids, and a nontoxic slag. The hydrogen halide-containing synthesis gas is contacted with water in the quench zone (14) of the gasifier (10). The quench water contains a neutralizing agent, in excess of the amount necessary to neutralize hydrogen halide acids present therein, to thereby form halide salts. The quench water containing the halide salts is purified to recover the halide salts. The salt-free water is essentially environmentally non-toxic and can either be recycled to the process or discarded in conformity with environmental regulations.
Abstract:
An integrated liquefaction and gasification process converts bulk particulate halogen-containing waste plastic materials with minimal particle size reduction into a synthesis gas and a non-leachable, vitreous environmentally nontoxic slag. The process involves melting and cracking bulk particulate halogen-containing waste plastic material to form a lower boiling point, lower molecular weight halogen-containing oil composition which then undergoes partial oxidation in a quench gasifier to produce a synthesis gas. Any hazardous gases, liquids or solids that are produced can be purified into commercially valuable byproducts or recycled to the process, which does not release hazardous materials to the environment.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for recovering condensed solidified volatile metals from slag that exits the reactor section of a partial oxidation reactor. In a partial oxidation reactor, condensed solidified volatile metals become adsorbed onto the surface of the slag particles and other particulate matter associated with the gasification reaction, such as ash and soot. These particulate materials are removed and recovered. Finely divided slag particles are separated and contacted with a mineral acid to dissolve the adsorbed condensed volatile metals. An acid liquor is obtained from which the dissolved volatile metals are recovered by electrolysis.
Abstract:
Slag deposits in partial oxidation reactors, like coke gasifiers, are removed by controlling temperature and slag derivatization. Derivatized slag is fluidized and leaves the reactor without solidifying in and filling the reactor outlet.

Abstract:
ESTA INVENCION SE REFIERE A UN PROCEDIMIENTO PARA MINIMIZAR LA CORROSION PROVOCADA POR EL HALURO DE HIDROGENO EN UN GASIFICADOR DE EXTINCION DURANTE LA REACCION DE OXIDACION PARCIAL NO CATALITICA DE UNA CARGA HIDROCARBONADA QUE CONTIENE UN HALOGENO, PARA OBTENER UN GAS DE SINTESIS QUE CONTIENE HALURO DE HIDROGENO, PARTICULAS SOLIDAS FINAMENTE DIVIDIDAS Y ESCORIAS NO TOXICAS. ESTE GAS DE SINTESIS QUE CONTIENE HALURO DE HIDROGENO SE PONE EN CONTACTO CON AGUA EN LA ZONA DE EXTINCION (14) DEL GASIFICADOR (10). EL AGUA DE EXTINCION CONTIENE UN AGENTE NEUTRALIZADOR, EN CANTIDAD EXCESIVA CON RELACION A LA QUE ES NECESARIA PARA NEUTRALIZAR LOS ACIDOS DE HALURO DE HIDROGENO PRESENTES EN EL GAS, DE MANERA QUE SE OBTENGAN SALES DE HALURO. EL AGUA EXENTA DE SALES NO ES PRACTICAMENTE TOXICA PARA EL MEDIO AMBIENTE Y SE PUEDE RECICLAR MEDIANTE EL PROCEDIMIENTO O DESCARTAR DE ACUERDO CON LA REGLAMENTACION DEL MEDIO AMBIENTE.
