Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plastic liquefying device for thermally decomposing plastic wastes to efficiently use the plastic wastes as reclaimed oil or the like.
- the present inventors developed a novel plastic liquefying systems for efficiently disposing of the above-mentioned plastic wastes and recycling them as reclaimed oil or the like, and filed patent applications (Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-63335, etc.) for these systems.
- this plastic wastes liquefying device comprises mainly a gasifying furnace 1 for melting plastic wastes by way of heat from a gas burner 4 , etc. and generating pyrolytic gas by thermally decomposing, and a liquefying tank 2 for liquefying the pyrolytic gas which is generated in the gasifying furnace 1 after cooling and condensing.
- thermo-plastic wastes are melted and gasified into the pyrolytic gas including stylen-monomer and low monocular gravity polyethylene through a pyrolitical decomposition process in the gasifying furnace 1 .
- the pyrolitic gas is then contacted with cooling water to cause vapor-liquid contact, and is re-liquefied by being cooled and condensed in the liquefying tank 2 . Finally, the decomposed liquid is separated from the cooling water.
- the decomposed gas can be used as a material or the like for a new plastic product or fuel for a boiler, so that effective use of the decomposed liquid is achieved.
- the inlet of the gasifying furnace 1 is opened, and the plastic wastes can be loaded into the gasifying furnace 1 .
- the shutter 3 is closed. Then, the plastic wastes start melting and liquefying, and become fusion-liquid by the heat of the burner 4 .
- a part of the fusion liquid is sequentially and pyrolytically decomposed, then gasified.
- the pyrolytic gas flows into a gas line G through a gas outlet 5 , and reaches the liquefying tank 2 .
- This liquefying tank 2 integrally includes a jet scrubber 7 , a neutralization column 8 , etc. in a water tank 6 which stores the liquid.
- the pyrolytic gas reached to the liquefying tank 2 is contacted with cooling water which belches up from the jet scrubber 7 having a cooling water circular line L 2 to cause vapor-liquid contact, and thus is rapidly cooled, condensed and liquefied. Then, the decomposed liquid resulting from the pyrolytic gas is temporarily stored into the water tank 6 together with the cooling water.
- the above-mentioned blended liquid which consists of the decomposed liquid and the cooling water, can be separated into the decomposed liquid and water at above and below respectively by specific gravity, after a certain time has elapsed.
- the decomposed liquid which is separated into the upper side of the water tank, overflows a weir 9 positioned at the end of the water tank 6 and flows into an oil line L 1 .
- After removing solids by filtering through a filter 10 , reclaimed oil or the like made from decomposed oil can be collected into a recovery tank 12 .
- the water which is stored in the lower side of the tank, can be pumped by a pump 11 out from the water tank 6 and re-sent into the jet scrubber 7 through a cooling water circular line L 2 . Afterwards, the water can be re-used as cooling water for cooling the high temperature pyrolytic gas which sequentially flows in.
- the pyrolytic gas which has not been liquefied by the jet scrubber 7 , and detrimental constituents such as chlorine and bromine which cannot be liquefied by cooling, are sent to the neutralization column 8 in the form of gas. Then, the pyrolytic gas can be cooled and condensed again with the newly provided cooling water from a cooling water line L 4 , and be simultaneously neutralized by neutralizer supplied from a neutralization tank 13 . The process makes the pyrolytic gas harmless, and the harmless gas is retuned to the gasifying furnace 1 via a gas recovery line G 2 . Thus, the pyrolytic gas can be recycled as fuel gas, combustion air, etc. for the burner 4 .
- the exhaust combustion gas which is emitted from the burner 4 flows into an exhaust gas line G 1 through a jacket 16 which covers the gasifying furnace 1 , and is discharged into the atmosphere after being cleaned and filtered by a filter 14 .
- the superfluous cooling water which is stored in the water tank 6 of the liquefying tank 2 can be sequentially discharged through an exhaust line L 3 .
- plastic liquefying device it makes it possible to efficiently dispose of plastic wastes which were difficult to dispose of in the past.
- the plastic wastes can be recycled as burnable reclaimed oil, so that it promotes the economic and efficient recycling of plastic wastes.
- the reference numeral 15 denotes a hopper which facilitates the loading of plastic wastes into the device.
- the inlet of the gasifying furnace 1 is completely closed by a plate shutter 3 .
- the shutter 3 engages with rails 17 and 17 which are located at both sides of the shutter 3 , and can be horizontally moved to open and close along the rails 17 and 17 by a rack-and-pinion mechanism driven by a motor 18 .
- the shutter 3 is closed, it is simply placed by its specific gravity on the sealing surface S of the inlet.
- plastic wastes such as injectors and catheters from medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics which may possibly contain infectious bacterial pathogen are disposed
- the plastic wastes are disposed by the above-mentioned liquefying device in the same way as the normal plastic wastes disposal, in the initial process, the infectious bacterial pathogen which is adhered to the surface of these plastic wastes, is not sterilized completely and flows into the liquefying tank 2 together with the vapor. Consequently, the infectious bacterial pathogen may possibly contaminate the inside of the device or interfuse with the reclaimed oil.
- One aspect of the present invention concerns a plastic liquefying device, which comprises a gasifying furnace for generating pyrolytic gas by heating and melting plastic wastes and a liquefying tank for liquefying the pyrolytic gas generated in the gasifying furnace and then separated.

- the bottom part of the furnace body has a corrugated shape defined by a plurality of canaliculate members which are placed parallel to each other, the superficial area of the bottom part of the furnace is enlarged. Then, the heat conductivity from the heating means to the furnace body can be enhanced, and an efficient melting process can be also promoted.
- Each end of each of canaliculate members may merge to a discharge pipe, and also the canaliculate members and the discharge pipes may respectively include screw conveyers inside themselves. Then, the solids which have not been melted and have accumulated at the bottom of the furnace are easily discharged. Accordingly, the decrease of the furnace body capacity and the deterioration of the heat transmission can be avoided.
- the heating means may include a gas burner.
- a jacket may be provided around the furnace for guiding the exhaust gas from the gas burner, and parting strips may be positioned spirally inside the jacket. The heat from the heating means is then efficiently transmitted to the furnace body, and the efficient melting is further promoted.
- the furnace body can be hermetically sealed and the inside of the furnace body can be filled with high-pressure steam, so that the sterilization or removal of infectious bacterial pathogen which has adhered to plastic wastes can be completely undertaken.
- the above-mentioned furnace body may be made of a pressure vessel which includes hemispheric metal end covers respectively positioned at the top and bottom of the vertical tube-shaped metallic sack body.
- the opening and closing lid and gas outlet may also be provided at the top of the furnace body. Consequently, the inside pressure of the furnace body can be safely increased.
- the above-mentioned agitator may include a drive shaft which is located at the shaft center part of the furnace body, a driving motor which rotates the drive shaft and a plurality of moving vanes which radially extend from the drive shaft.
- the moving vanes may revolve in contact with the bottom of the furnace body. So, when the plastic wastes are melted, an efficient pyrolytic decomposition can be conducted by agitating the inside of the furnace, and the deterioration of the heat transmission which can be caused by the solid or the like accumulated at the bottom of the furnace can be prevented.
- the bottom of the furnace further includes an outlet to discharge insolubles
- the insolubles which have accumulated at the bottom of the furnace can be easily removed by driving the agitator. Accordingly, the cleaning of the inside of the furnace does not entail a large amount of labor and time.
- Still another aspect of the present invention concerns a plastic liquefying device which comprises a gasifying furnace for generating pyrolytic gas by simultaneously melting various types of plastic wastes, and a liquefying tank for liquefying and separating the pyrolytic gas generated in the gasifying furnace.
- the bottom of the gasifying furnace is narrowed like a valley shape, which further includes a screw conveyer and a discharge opening for discharging insolubles at the bottom.
- the drain line may include a neutralization tank for infusing the neutralizer. Therefore, the separated water can be efficiently neutralized. Consequently, the inconveniences such as acid corrosion of the pipes or the like caused by the acid water can be avoided.
