Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for incinerating graphite, in particular irradiated graphite and more generally a combustible material, such as waste, with a limited production of fumes, in order to avoid significant and costly treatment thereof.
  • the invention proposes a process for incinerating a material, with a prior preparation of the latter.
  • the process comprises, before combustion, the continuous production of the following steps: division of the material into particles,
  • the oxidizing gas can be oxygen or enriched air and the pressure of the foam obtained will be of the order of 2 to 10 bars, depending on whether the opening of a regulating valve located before the combustion furnace, i.e. the pressure in the furnace and the pressure drop between the pump outlet and the combustion furnace.
  • the maximum of the solid fraction (from 35 to 45% by weight of the suspension) will depend on the apparent density of the pulverized solid and on its lower calorific value. For example, since graphite has a high calorific value and an apparent density, the solid fraction will be of the order of 35%. For lower criteria, the fraction may be higher without damaging the pumpable nature of the product or leading to too hot combustion.
  • the diagram shown in the drawing illustrates a processing and incineration chain for a crude product 1, which in this case is graphite.
  • the first step in the treatment of this product consists of grinding 2. Grinding can consist of several stages using several types of apparatus so as to obtain a powdery product of suitable particle size (for example 80% of the particles whose diameter is less than 200 ⁇ ). This grinding can be carried out in a humid environment to avoid the release of dust and reduce the risk of explosion which results therefrom, and also to obtain a fluid which is transportable by means of pumps.
  • the powdered graphite obtained at the outlet of the mills 2 is added with water in a mixer 3.
  • a pump 4 With the aid of a pump 4, the continuous circulation of the product coming from the mixer 3 is ensured in the direction for example of a concentration 5 (acting by measuring the viscosity for example) to result in a mixer 6 for adjusting this concentration by adding water.
  • the product leaving this mixer 6 will have a content at most equal to 35% of solid particles.
  • This is a relatively charged aqueous suspension which is very easily pumpable.
  • This suspension is by means of a pump 7 introduced into a mixer 8 intended to produce a three-phase liquid-solid-gas mixture. To do this, is introduced into the mixer, in addition to the suspension to be transformed into foam, surfactant additives 9 and a swelling gas 10. In the present case the gas will be oxygen.
  • the pressurization of the foam has a double advantage: firstly it becomes self-propelling by partial expansion in the supply lines 12 of a combustion hearth 13, and secondly the relaxation of this foam in the hearth promotes his injection.
  • the hearth 13 is a cyclone hearth known in itself which has the advantages mentioned above with regard to the residence time of the particles and the relative gas-solid speed, in order to achieve complete combustion of the product.
  • Oxygen 14 is introduced into the hearth 13 as combustion gas. It should be noted that the combustion may include a post-combustion stage.
  • the ashes are collected in an ashtray 15 while the fumes 16 are led into a water cooler 17 which makes it possible to condense the water vapor produced by combustion.
  • This cooler will include a devesiculator retaining the droplets of water.
  • the fumes thus freed from the aqueous effluents pass through a heater 18 which places them at a temperature above the dew point to avoid any condensation which could be detrimental to the operation of the very high efficiency filters 19 through which the fumes pass.
  • These filters make it possible to trap the solid residues 20 while the gaseous phase of the fumes is transmitted to the atmosphere by an extraction fan and a chimney 22.
  • aqueous foam greatly facilitates the conduct of the incineration hearth since the production of water vapors tends to lower the temperature and the regulation of the solid load of the foam makes it possible to achieve simple regulation of the operation of the oven, or even its extinction in an emergency if the solid fuel is completely removed from the foam.
  • polluted combustible liquid for example a used or contaminated oil
