NOVELTY - Recycling of heterogeneous waste comprises: (a) pyrolyzing the heterogeneous waste (AA) to produce a synthesis gas stream (CC) of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and a molten pyrolysis product stream of variable composition having mineral and metallic materials; (b) converting the product stream to commercial grade solid materials; and (c) converting the gas stream to commercial grade chemical(s).    USE - For recycling heterogeneous waste, e.g. municipal solid waste, industrial waste, or hazardous chemical waste (e.g., oil-contaminated dirt, demolition debris, respirator masks, paint, or contaminated rags) into commercial grade products, e.g. vitreous material for use as an abrasive, and ferric alloy for use in die casting metal production processes or as a shock blast material; and chemical compounds, e.g. ammonia, methanol, or dimethyl ether.    ADVANTAGE - The process maximizes the recycling of heterogeneous waste having an uncontrolled, fluctuating content of carbon, metal, and minerals into separate, non-hazardous recycled components. It realizes the economic gains from the resale of the commercial grade products, avoiding excise taxes and fees associated with the disposal of the waste.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (a) a process for producing methanol from heterogeneous waste comprising:    (i) pyrolyzing the waste to produce a synthesis gas of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO),    (ii) sensing and adjusting the ratio of H2 and CO to 1.95:1-2:1 molecules of H2/molecule of CO, and    (iii) presenting the adjusted synthesis gas to a liquid phase methanol reactor; and    (b) a process for producing a synthesis gas for the production of methanol or methanol and dimethyl ether comprising:    (i) introducing oxygen and a heterogeneous material containing carbon to a gasifier (14) generating a raw synthesis gas of CO and H2,    (ii) measuring the ratio of H2 to CO,    (iii) separating the synthesis gas to first and second streams,    (iv) feeding the first stream (FF) to a shift reactor (22) to produce a shifted gas stream (II) of carbon dioxide and H2, and    (v) combining the shifted gas stream with the second stream (GG) forming a mixed synthesis gas (JJ) having a desired ratio of H2 to CO suitable for the production of methanol.
