Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for treating organic waste in molten metal contained in a vessel to sequentially form enriched hydrogen gas and carbon oxide gas streams.
- an organic waste containing hydrogen and carbon is introduced into molten metal, without the addition of a separate oxidizing agent and under conditions sufficient to decompose the organic waste and to generate an enriched hydrogen gas stream and to carbonize the molten metal.
- the enriched hydrogen gas stream is substantially removed from the vessel.
- a separate oxidizing agent is added into the carbonized molten metal to oxidize carbon contained in the carbonized molten metal to form an enriched carbon oxide gas stream.
- the enriched carbon oxide gas stream is substantially removed from the vessel.
- the organic waste is introduced into molten metal contained in a vessel which comprises two immiscible metals wherein the first immiscible metal has a free energy of oxidation, at the operating conditions, greater than that for oxidation of carbon to carbon monoxide and the second immiscible metal has a free energy of oxidation, at the operating conditions, greater than that for oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, without the addition of a separate oxidizing agent and under conditions sufficient to decompose the organic waste and to generate an enriched hydrogen gas stream and to carbonize at least one of the two immiscible metals.
- the enriched hydrogen gas stream is substantially removed from the vessel. Thereafter, a separate oxidizing agent is added into the carbonized molten metal to oxidize carbon contained in the carbonized molten metal to generate an enriched carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas stream having a significantly increased ratio of carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide compared to that produced in molten iron under the same conditions and decarbonizing the molten metal.
- the enriched carbon oxide gas stream is substantially removed from the vessel.
- This invention has the advantage of treating organic waste to form an enriched stream of hydrogen gas and a separate enriched stream of carbon oxide gas, such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide or both.
- Enriched hydrogen and/or carbon oxide gas streams are often desired.
- an enriched stream of hydrogen gas is particularly useful in the synthesis of ammonia or oxoalcohol and in hydrogenation or desulfurization processes.
- Hydrogen is also an excellent "clean" or "greenhouse gas free” fuel.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a system for sequentially forming enriched hydrogen and enriched carbon oxide gas streams from an organic waste in molten metal by a method according to this invention.
- Figure 2 is a plot of the free energies at varying temperatures for the oxidation of nickel, iron and carbon. Detailed Description of the Invention
- the present invention generally relates to a method for treating organic waste in molten metal to separately form enriched hydrogen and carbon oxide gas streams.

- Seal 54 is disposed between off-gas outlet 18 and port 46 and is suitable for allowing partial rotation of reactor 12 about trunions 52 without breaking seal 54.
- Molten metal 56 is disposed within reactor 12.

- Molten metal 56 can include more than one metal.
- molten metal 56 can include a solution of miscible metals, such as iron and chromium.
- Suitable metals are those with melting points within the operating conditions of the system. It is preferred, for example, to run system 10 in a temperature range of from about 1300°C to about 1700°C. Suitable metals must also have a carbon solubility sufficient to allow significant amounts of hydrogen to be generated as organic waste is decomposed and the molten metal becomes carbonized. Thus, metals with a carbon solubility of greater than about 0.5 percent, by weight, are preferred, and those with a carbon solubility of greater than about two percent, by weight, are particularly preferred. In the cases where more than one metal is employed, at least one of the metals should have the aforementioned carbon solubility.
- the viscosity of the molten metal in reactor 12 less than about ten centipoise at the operating conditions of reactor 12.
- Molten metal 56 is formed by at least partially filling reactor 12 with a suitable metal. The metal is then heated to a suitable temperature by activation of induction coil 52 or by other suitable means, not shown. Suitable operating conditions of system 10 include a temperature sufficient to at least partially convert organic waste by decomposition to hydrogen and carbon. Generally, a temperature in the range of between about 1,300° and about 1,700°C is suitable.

- Vitreous layer 62 can contain a suitable compound for scrubbing halogens, such as chlorine or fluorine, to prevent formation of hydrogen halide gases, such as hydrogen chloride.
- organic waste is suitable for treatment by this invention.
- An example of a suitable organic waste is a hydrogen-containing carbonaceous material, such as oil or a waste which includes organic compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, etc.
- the organic waste can include inorganic compounds.
- the organic waste can include other atomic constituents, such as halogens, metals, etc.
- Organic waste does not need to be anhydrous.
- significant amounts of water in the organic waste can cause the water to act as an oxidizing agent, thereby interfering with the formation of an enriched hydrogen gas.
- a preferred organic waste includes a relatively high hydrogen containing carbonaceous material, such as propane, butane, etc.
- a preferred organic waste includes a low hydrogen containing carbonaceous material, such as tars, oils, olefins, etc.
- Organic waste is directed from organic waste source 26 through line 24 by pump 28 and is injected into molten metal 56 through organic waste tube 20.
- the organic waste is a fluid which can include organic waste components dissolved or suspended within a liquid.
- solid particles of organic waste components are suspended in an inert gas, such as argon.
- Organic waste directed into molten metal 56 is converted to carbon, hydrogen and its other atomic constituents.
- the atomic hydrogen is then formed into hydrogen gas in the absence of an oxidizing agent and the molten metal is concurrently carbonized.
- carbonize means the addition of atomic carbon to molten metal to increase the overall quantity of carbon contained in the molten metal without any substantial losses of carbon from the molten metal due to oxidation by a separately added oxidizing agent. It is understood, of course, that the organic waste may contain one or more oxidizing agents but these are not considered separately added oxidizing agents.
- Hydrogen gas migrates through molten metal 56, by diffusion, bubbling or other means. At least a portion of the hydrogen migrates to a portion of molten metal 56 proximate to off-gas outlet 18 to form an enriched hydrogen gas stream.
- An enriched hydrogen gas stream means a gas stream wherein the molar fraction of hydrogen contained in the gas stream, based upon the total hydrogen and carbon oxide in the gas stream, is greater than that generally produced in a typical process disclosed by Bach/Nagel in U.S. Patents 4,574,714 and 4,602,574 for the simultaneous, combined decomposition and oxidation of an organic waste.
- the molar fraction of hydrogen is the ratio of the moles of hydrogen contained in a gas stream to the sum of the moles of hydrogen and moles of carbon oxide gases contained in the gas stream.
- the concentration of dissolved carbon in carbonized molten metal 36 is preferably limited to an amount below the saturation point for carbon at the temperature of molten metal 36.
- the concentration of atomic carbon preferably is limited to a concentration of less than about five percent, by weight, at 1,800°C.
- the saturation point of carbon is in the range of between about three percent at l,400°C and about 4.3 percent, by weight, at 1,800°C.
- the saturation point of carbon is in the range of between about eight percent at 1,400°C and about 8.5 percent, by weight, at 1,800°C.
- the saturation point of carbon is in the range of between about eleven percent at 1,800°C and about fifteen percent, by weight, at 2,000°C.
- suitable apparatus known in the art can be used to separate the entrained carbon dust from the hydrogen gas stream. Examples of suitable apparatus include a cyclone separator or baghouse filter.
- a suitable separate oxidizing agent is directed from oxidizing agent source 38 through line 36 and is injected through oxidizing agent tube 32 into molten metal 56.
- the separate oxidizing agent is directed into molten metal 56 when the carbon, which is dissolved in the molten metal, approaches saturation in the molten metal.
- the separate oxidizing agent is directed into the molten metal separately from the organic waste.
- suitable oxidizing agents include oxygen, air, iron oxide, etc., with the preferred oxidizing agent being oxygen gas.
- An enriched carbon oxide gas stream means a gas stream wherein the molar fraction of carbon oxide gas contained in the gas stream based upon the total hydrogen and carbon oxide in the gas streams, is greater than that generally produced in a typical process disclosed by Bach/Nagel in U.S. Patents 4,574,714 and 4,602,574 for the simultaneous, combined decomposition and oxidation of an organic waste.
- the molar fraction of carbon oxide gas is the ratio of the moles of carbon oxide gas contained in a gas stream to the sum of the moles of hydrogen and moles of carbon oxide gases contained in the gas stream.
- the separate introduction of the oxidizing agent from the organic waste into the molten metal means an injection of oxidizing agent separate chronologically from the organic waste in order to allow the formation of a distinct hydrogen gas stream and a distinct carbon oxide gas stream to be produced.
- Molten metal 56 has a temperature sufficient to cause the organic waste injected into molten metal 56 to be converted to carbon, hydrogen and other atomic constituents and to cause hydrogen in molten metal 56 to form hydrogen gas and to carbonize the molten metal.
- Oxidizing agent which oxidizes carbon contained in the molten metal, is directed into molten bath after the enriched hydrogen gas is removed and forms a carbon oxide gas, thereby forming an enriched carbon oxide gas stream.
- the carbon oxide gas composition ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide can be adjusted by a number of techniques.
- One relates to the selection of the metal or metals.
- iron tends to produce carbon monoxide whereas molten nickel or manganese tends to produce an increased amount of carbon dioxide.
- U.S. Patent 5,177,304, issued to Nagel (January 5, 1993) discloses a method and system for increasing the formation of carbon dioxide from carbonaceous material in a molten bath of immiscible metals. The teachings of this patent are hereby incorporated by reference.
- an increased amount of carbon dioxide can be produced from a molten metal bath which has two immiscible molten metals wherein the first has a free energy of oxidation greater than that for oxidation for atomic carbon to carbon monoxide and the second has a free energy of oxidation greater than that for oxidation of carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide.
- the invention described herein is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
- an alternative embodiment can include introducing the organic waste into the molten metal without the addition of a separate oxidizing agent and under conditions sufficient to decompose the organic waste, whereby the molten metal is carbonized and an enriched hydrogen gas stream is formed. The carbonized metal can then be solidified. At a later time, the carbonized metal can be melted, and a separate oxidizing agent can then be added into the carbonized metal to oxidize carbon contained in the carbonized molten metal to thereby form an enriched carbon oxide gas stream.
- molten metal can be carbonized to generate an enriched hydrogen gas stream in one portion of a reactor and decarbonized with addition of a separate oxidizing agent to generate an enriched carbon oxide gas stream in another portion of the same vessel.
- the vessel can have a wide variety of shapes and need not be configured as illustrated in the Figures herein.
- An organic waste containing an organic compound having hydrogen and carbon, such as butane, is fed into a system, as shown in Figure l.
- the metal is iron at a temperature of about 1800°C.
- the organic waste is decomposed to its atomic constituents, including carbon and hydrogen in the molten metal.
- Hydrogen gas is generated and removed from reactor through the off-gas outlet as an enriched hydrogen gas stream.
- the molten metal is simultaneously carbonized. After the hydrogen gas is removed, an oxidizing agent, oxygen gas, is then added to the carbonized molten metal in the system.
- the reaction of carbon with the oxidizing agent occurs preferentially to the oxidation of the iron in the molten metal, because, as can be seen in Figure 2, the free energy of oxidation of carbon (Curve 1) is lower than that of the iron (Curve 2) at the temperature of the molten metal.
- Carbon preferentially forms carbon monoxide to iron oxide or carbon dioxide because the free energy of oxidation to carbon dioxide (Curve 3) is greater than the free energy of oxidation of iron (Curve 2) which is greater than the free energy of oxidation for carbon to form carbon monoxide (Curve 1) .
- Oxygen gas is added until carbon is removed from the molten metal.
- the carbon monoxide is separated from molten metal through the off-gas outlet which can then be directed to a carbon oxide collection tank, not shown, or vented to the atmosphere.
- organic waste containing an organic compound having hydrogen and carbon, such as butane, is fed into the molten metal of the reactor.
- the molten metal is nickel at a temperature of about 1800°C.
- the organic waste forms the atomic constituents of carbon and hydrogen in the molten metal causing separation of hydrogen from carbon by the decomposition of hydrogen to form hydrogen gas.
- the hydrogen gas is removed from reactor through the off-gas outlet in an enriched hydrogen gas stream.
- the molten metal is carbonized.
- oxidizing agent oxygen gas
- the reaction of carbon with the oxidizing agent occurs preferentially to the oxidation of the nickel in the molten metal, because, as can be seen in Figure 2, the free energy of oxidation of carbon (Curve 1) is lower than that of the nickel (Curve 4) at the temperature of molten metal.
- Carbon forms a mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide because the free energies of oxidation to form carbon dioxide (Curve 3) and to form carbon monoxide (Curve 1) are less than the free energy of oxidation of nickel.
- Oxygen gas is added until carbon is essentially consumed in the carbonized molten metal.
- the carbon oxide gases are separated from the molten metal through the off-gas outlet which can then be directed to a carbon oxide collection tank, not shown, or vented to the atmosphere.
