| Abstract |
Laboratory scale studies were conducted on the pyrolysis of a typical refuse mix in molten sodium carbonate. Gasification of the char that resulted from pyrolysis of solid waste was studied at different conditions using steam, air, and oxygen as the gasification agent. The effects of contaminants that are introduced to the molten salt during processing of municipal refuse on gasification rates and corrosion were determined. Methods for ash removal from the molten salt system was determined. Information obtained in the laboratory studies was used to prepare conceptual process and equipment flow diagrams for evaluation of process economics. The processing of municipal refuse in molten sodium carbonate was found to be technically feasible but economically impractical, pending development of a simplified ash removal process. Use of molten salts is recommended for processing of hazardous materials because complete destruction of wastes is obtained in the molten salt. |
