TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The process further depending upon the organic composition of the feed the temperature of the driver gas at the reactor inlet is 2000-3600degrees F, the temperature at pyrolytic conversion is 500-1200degrees F, the temperature at gasification is 1200-2500degrees F, and the produced gas exiting from the reactor has a temperature of 200-250degrees F. The process of (II) further defined that: the chemical potential of the driver gas is a reducing atmosphere (which incidental heteroatoms, X, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine and sulfur contained in the solid feed material, are liberated by pyrolysis to form acid gases of the form (Hx) and in which nitrogen atoms released by pyrolysis form ammonia); the oxidant source of the driver gas before entering the reactor is comprises of air of natural content, oxygen, oxygen enriched air or ozone; the fuel source for the driver gas is comprised of natural gas, diesel oil, residual oil, combustibles such as wood, biomass, coal, petroleum coke or charcoal, recycled syngas, recycled white oils or other carbonaceous material; supplemental driver gas sources are comprises of steam, exhaust from combustion turbines and fired heaters, and recycled effluents from exited syngas; the driver gas is comprised of oxygen-depleted products from any combustion process that is both external to the reactor and comprised of a solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel and an oxidant; the exiting driver gas is a stream of hot gases comprised of the following gaseous/vapor species: hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, (A1), water, fuel gases of composition of formula (CxHyOz), nitrogen, argon and helium but with a free molecular oxygen and/or ozone content of less than 1000 parts per million by weight; control of the reactor temperature and reaction profile is accomplished by calculated manipulation of oxidant flow, fuel flow, supplemental gas flow, total feed and organic feed material content; the reactor solid bed porosity and permeability are maintained by the irregularly sized and shaped post-consumer waste material being used as received, the sizing of any comminuted materials in the feed, the overburdening weight of feed supply above the reaction zones, the variance of the driver gas inlet pressure to move the solid bed incrementally in order to break bridging, and the injection of small amounts of new or recycled liquid feeds at different locations in the reactor; slag product flow at the bottom of the reactor is enhanced by the adding silica, alumino-silicates, alkaline earth oxides, clays, sandy sludge or specialty papers to the feed material; the molten reactor slag is removed by collection in a reservoir at the bottom of the reactor and removed with use of a hot tap with mud gun control as in a standard blast furnace or dropped into a reservoir of water (which the melted material is cooled and results in a course granulated form); the reactor is constructed of a steel or other metal shell that is lined with a sufficient amount of standard refractory material to resist the high temperature, acids and abrasions; or the reactor is constructed in several flanged and bolted segments of 2-6 feet in height such that fabrication, transport, installation and maintenance of each segment is easily and readily accomplished with standard construction and maintenance equipment. The preparation of (II) comprises sequential anaerobic pyrolysis and gasification of organic feed material via direct countercurrent contact of a wet, oxygen-devoid thermal driver gas flowing upward opposite a downward moving bed of solid feed material, use of segregated feed types of known organic heat content such as plastic, paper and sludge, statistical analysis and correlation of feed types with easily measured bulk properties such as density, exact real time feed calorific and component determination of carbon/hydrogen, carbon/oxygen and oxygen/hydrogen ratios via fast neutron analysis or equivalent scanning methodology, exact real time determination of reactor off-gas calorimetric content via on-line spectrophotometric or GC-analysis and component analysis via GCMS analysis or appropriately calibrated spectrophotometric analyses.Preferred Components: The driver gas has a water content of 1.1-3.5 times the molar amount of carbon formed from the pyro lysis of the solid feed materials. The solid feed material is contain up to 30% by individual volume or 75% by total accumulated volume of tires, wood, plastics, paper, petroleum resid, coke, charcoal, wood, forest byproducts, agricultural waste, medical waste, asphalt, metals, asbestos, and batteries or other material defined as supplemental feeds. The sum of solid feed material is replaced by up to 25% by total weight of heavy oils, lube oils, waste hydrocarbons, black liquor, organic solvents, chlorinated solvents, paint or carcinogenic organics.
