Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé pour faire fondre et générer des métaux usés et recyclés au moyen du magma igné des volcans. The present invention relates to a process for melting and generating spent and recycled metals using igneous magma from volcanoes.
La consommation croissante des matières premières qui est due à l'industrialisation des pays en voie de développement accentue le problème posé par les matières premières non régénérables. En ce qui concerne les métaux on pense que ce problème peut trouver une solution. Cette solution consiste dans l'utilisation des températures et des pressions très élevées que l'on peut rencontrer dans les volcans. On va décrire dans la suite un procédé permettant la restauration totale ou sensiblement totale des caractéristiques originelles des métaux usés ou même des métaux recyclés.Ainsi, selon ce procédé et comme le montre la figure unique, une quantité considérable de déchets métalliques 6 est déversée sur la couche solidifiée ou croûte 10 du magma 12 d'un volcan inactif 11. I1 est préférable que les déchets métalliques aient été fondus au préalable pour permettre d'en introduire une plus grande quantité à l'intérieur du cratère 3 du volcan inactif. The increasing consumption of raw materials which is due to the industrialization of developing countries accentuates the problem posed by non-regenerable raw materials. As far as metals are concerned, it is believed that this problem can be resolved. This solution consists in using the very high temperatures and pressures that can be encountered in volcanoes. We will describe in the following a process allowing the total or substantially total restoration of the original characteristics of used metals or even recycled metals. Thus, according to this process and as shown in the single figure, a considerable amount of metallic waste 6 is discharged onto the solidified layer or crust 10 of the magma 12 of an inactive volcano 11. It is preferable that the metallic waste have been previously melted to allow a greater amount to be introduced inside the crater 3 of the inactive volcano.
Cependant, avant de déverser des déchets métalliques dans le cratère, des bombes explosives 7 très puissantes, équipées d'un dispositif de mise à feu commandé à distance, sont disposées dans le cratère. Les bombes et les déchets métalliques sont placés dans le cratère à l'aide de câbles ou de parachutes. Ceci étant accompli, l'explosion des bombes 7 est provoquée afin de briser la croûte 10 du magma 12.However, before dumping metallic waste into the crater, very powerful explosive bombs 7, equipped with a remote controlled firing device, are placed in the crater. The bombs and metallic waste are placed in the crater using cables or parachutes. This being accomplished, the explosion of the bombs 7 is provoked in order to break the crust 10 of the magma 12.
Une fois libéré, ce magma fait fondre immédiatement tous les déchets métalliques 6 situés au-dessus. Cette fusion a lieu à très haute température de sorte qu'il est très probable que les différents métaux retrouvent leurs caractéristiques originelles. S'il se révèle judicieux d'augmenter la pression à l'intérieur du cratère au moment où le magma igné 12 est libéré, il est nécessaire de recouvrir au préalable le cratère en 1 juste au-dessus de la couche de déchets métalliques 6. Le magma 12 qui a incorporé les déchets métalliques liquides voit son niveau augmenter de plusieurs mètres du fait qu'il a été libéré de sa croûte 10 qui le maintenait sous pression.Once released, this magma immediately melts all of the metallic waste 6 located above. This fusion takes place at very high temperatures, so it is very likely that the different metals will return to their original characteristics. If it proves judicious to increase the pressure inside the crater at the moment when the igneous magma 12 is released, it is necessary to first cover the crater in 1 just above the layer of metallic waste 6. The magma 12 which incorporated the liquid metallic waste sees its level increase by several meters due to the fact that it was released from its crust 10 which kept it under pressure.
Lorsqu'vil monte dans le cratère, le magma quitte le volcan par un tunnel 8 prévu au préalable. n peut être souvent judicieux de soumettre les métaux incorporés dans le magma débordant à un refroidissement très lent. Dans ce cas, le tunnel forme un passage direct vers une chambre de refroidissement souterraine 9 creusée en position adjacente au tunnel 8. L'entré de la chambre est fermée par un bloc de roche 4 qui joue le rôle d'une porte et qui est abaissé dans la cheminée verticale 5 qui a été creusée au préalable dans la roche au-dessus de l'entrée de la chambre de refroidissement souterraine 9. Ainsi, les métaux peuvent se refroidir aussi lentement qu'on le souhaite. On suppose que ceci permet aux molécules et aux atomes des métaux de reprendre leur agencement originel.Pour éviter en toute sécurité la formation de mélanges indésirables, les différentes espèces métalliques doivent être fondues séparément. En d'autres termes, on peut faire fondre séparément du fer puis du cuivre, etc. Pour soumettre les différents types de métaux à des températures et des pressions différentes on peut modifier la capacité de la cavité du cratère dans laquelle se produit la fusion et pratiquer un nombre variable de fenêtres 2 de surface plus ou moins importante dans les parois de cette cavité 3 du cratère.When it climbs into the crater, the magma leaves the volcano through a tunnel 8 previously provided. It can often be wise to subject the metals incorporated in the overflowing magma to very slow cooling. In this case, the tunnel forms a direct passage to an underground cooling chamber 9 dug in a position adjacent to the tunnel 8. The entrance to the chamber is closed by a block of rock 4 which acts as a door and which is lowered into the vertical chimney 5 which has been previously dug into the rock above the entrance to the underground cooling chamber 9. Thus, the metals can cool as slowly as desired. It is assumed that this allows the molecules and atoms of the metals to return to their original arrangement. To safely avoid the formation of undesirable mixtures, the different metallic species must be melted separately. In other words, iron and copper can be melted separately, etc. To subject the different types of metals to different temperatures and pressures, we can modify the capacity of the crater cavity in which fusion takes place and practice a variable number of windows 2 of more or less large surface in the walls of this cavity 3 of the crater.
A la suite de chaque processus de fusion, le cratère ouvert, c'est-à-dire exempt de croûte sur le magma, peut être utilisé pour déverser des déchets, à savoir des cendres radioactives et des résidus chimiques polluants, pour lesquels on ne dispose pas d'emplacement approprié sur la surface du globe. En fait, on peut supposer que ces déchets pénètrent dans les profondeurs des volcans et que les températures et pressions très élevées qui y règnent décomposent tous les produits nocifs aux êtres vivants existants sur la planète. Ainsi, dans le cas où des éruptions rejetteraient à l'extérieur les produits provenant de ces déchets, il est très probable que ces produits soient devenus inoffensifs. Following each fusion process, the open crater, that is to say crust-free on the magma, can be used to dump waste, namely radioactive ash and polluting chemical residues, for which no has no suitable location on the surface of the globe. In fact, we can assume that this waste penetrates into the depths of volcanoes and that the very high temperatures and pressures that prevail there decompose all products harmful to living beings existing on the planet. Thus, in the event that eruptions release the products from this waste to the outside, it is very likely that these products have become harmless.
En outre, l'ouverture périodique des volcans doit permettre d'éliminer l'éventualité d'éruptions violentes et destructrices. In addition, the periodic opening of volcanoes should eliminate the possibility of violent and destructive eruptions.
