(EP494240-A1)      Processing of organic and/or inorganic base material by feeding fine material into a closed reactor and decomposing the material into solid, liq. and gaseous phases in the reactor. The solid phase is cooled and if necessary formed into particles. The liq. phase is distilled and the gaseous phase condensed in a gas fractionator and distillation assembly. The distillate and uncondensable gas are recovered. Appts. for processing inorganic and/or organic material is claimed, including rotary flow control joint for intake and discharge of fluid into and from a double walled rotating shaft (e.g. cooling unit), a gas fractionator with countercurrent gas washing, and to charcoal.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   For processing of used rubber, infected mud, waste from the pharmaceutical industry or paint industry, material contaminated with at least one heavy metal, and organic waste which is decomposed in the process to carbon powder and reaction fluids (all claimed) such as waste from slaughter houses and forestry. Organic base material may be converted to carbon powder, charcoal for grilling. Lignite may have S and P removed.

The reactor is heated to 800-900 deg. C., decomposing the material into C powder and various fluids. Hot gases art cooled for sepn. of distillates and uncondensable gases pass (11.1) to a washing unit with a chamber (11:A) at the bottom with nozzles (11:11) at the top of the chamber spraying water. A second washing chamber (11:B) contains vertical pipes for the gas (11:10) through which water is sprayed (11:11).    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Transportable dynamic system, partic. for charcoal mfr.
