The present invention relates to a method and equipment for recovering heat from exhaust gas removed from an industrial process, such as an electrolysis process for the production of aluminium. Heat is recovered by means of an extraction/suction system, where the exhaust gas contains dust and/or particles. The heat is recovered as the exhaust gas is brought into contact with heat-recovery elements. Flow conditions and the design of the heat recovery elements are such that the deposits of the dust and/or particles on the surfaces stated are kept at a stable, limited level. In preferred embodiments, the heat-recovery elements have a circular or an extended, elliptical cross-section and may be equipped with fins or ribs. |

A method of processing electric arc furnace dust includes the steps of preheating a portion of electric arc furnace dust to a temperature of at least 170 degrees centigrade by convection heating to form a preheated dust. The preheated dust is further heated by microwaves until a zinc in the preheat dust vaporizes to form a metal vapor and a residue. The metal vapor is then condensed. |

A regenerative burner device for a furnace and a method of removing contaminants from such a device. The burner device includes a burner for introducing heat and waste gas into a furnace during ignition when supplied with fuel and a combustion gas, a media bed comprising refractory particles, and ducting for delivering combustion gas to said burner during ignition, and for drawing waste gas from said furnace on termination of ignition. The ducting causes the combustion gas and the waste gas to pass in succession through the media bed. Means are provided for periodically delivering a rapid flow of a decontaminating gas into said media bed. The rapid flow is of sufficient force to dislodge contaminants collected in the media bed from said waste gas. |

An apparatus for preheating particulate material in which the particulate material is transferred from one or more upper storage bins to a circular lower chamber that has an outer, essentially annular, portion which serves as a gas flow passage. The particulate material is directed from the feed bin or bins into a plurality of essentially vertical cylindrical feed cassettes via intermediate feed ducts. The lower chamber has a flat roof which is in contact with the bottom portion of the vertical feed cassettes. The vertical feed cassettes are approximately evenly spaced on top of the outer perimeter of the flat roof. The particulate material is preheated in the annular flow passage by hot kiln gases flowing in countercurrent heat exchange relationship with the particulate material. Each feed cassette is completely segregated from its adjacent cassettes, and the bottom of each cassette is positioned over a hole in the flat roof of the lower chamber to thereby enable the particulate material to fall from each cassette into the annular flow passage section of the lower chamber. A plurality of particulate discharge mechanisms, the number of which correspond to the number of cassettes, discharges particulate material that has fallen into the annular flow chamber from the overhanging cassettes into a material outlet located in the floor located at the center of the lower chamber. |

A fume treatment system and method for treating a fume stream emitted from the mouth of a furnace chamber of a metal reclamation furnace system during a portion of the reclamation process includes an auxiliary hood that is smaller than the main overhead hood and is movable between an operative position over the furnace chamber mouth within the main overhead hood for collecting the fume stream emitted by the furnace chamber mouth and another position spaced from, the furnace chamber mouth. An incinerator is in fluid communication with the auxiliary hood when in the operative position. A fume stream blower causes the fume stream collected by the auxiliary hood when in the operative position to flow to the incinerator for incinerating hydrocarbons or other combustible compounds present in the fume stream during operation of the incinerator. A cyclone may be in the flow path between the auxiliary hood and the incinerator for removing particulates from the fume stream prior to entering the incinerator. Also a heat exchanger may be downstream of the incinerator for reducing the temperature of the fume stream exiting the incinerator prior to returning the fume stream to the main overhead hood for further processing. |

The sensible and latent heat of hot exhaust gases generated in fuel burning furnaces, roaster, cement kilns, and the like is transferred to a power fluid in the boiler of an external combustion engine. The cooled gases are purified by subliming or "freezing out" harmful, less volatile components. The purified gases are discharged to atmosphere without using flue gas stacks. The sublimed or "frozen out" impurities are collected and neutralized. |
