Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical sector concerning degrading of an organic material having long molecular chains and obtaining a fluid organic material having short molecular chains.
- waste materials such as plastic materials, polymeric materials, wood and paper
- organic materials having long molecular chains and, if appropriately transformed, can be use for producing fuels.
- the latter must be subjected to a process known as "cracking".
- the above process includes heating the organic material having long molecular chains up until the heat transferred thereto is such as to break the bonds between the long molecular chains.
- a degrading station comprising a chamber which in turn comprises a first wall, a first opening fashioned in the first wall for inlet into the chamber of an organic material having long molecular chains, and a second opening for outlet from the chamber of a fluid organic material having short molecular chains.
- the degrading station of known type comprises heating means (thermal or magnetic) external or internal of the degrading chamber.
- the aim of the present invention consists in providing a degrading station, and a relative apparatus, which enables a rapid degradation of an organic material having long molecular chains, and which minimises the number of components constituting the degrading station.
- the above-mentioned aims are attained with a degrading station according to claim 1 , and a relative apparatus according to claim 9.
- the degrading station of the invention, as well as the relative apparatus advantageously enables the degrading of an organic material having long molecular chains by exploiting the thermal energy produced by the organic material itself; this enables not having to supply thermal energy from outside and makes the degrading process very rapid.
- the long molecular chains slide on other long molecular chains with a consequent production of thermal energy internally of the organic material.
- the thermal energy in turn determines the breakage of the bonds of the long molecular chains and the degrading of the organic material.
- the degrading station of the invention obviates the above-mentioned drawback by exploiting an appropriate and advantageous conformation and reciprocal arrangement between the first wall, the second wall, the first opening and the second opening: these ensure that the tangential velocity perpendicular to the advancement direction of the organic material, at first and/or second wall, progressively grows in the advancement direction of the organic material.
- the degrading station of the invention enables balancing the reduction in viscosity of the organic material with the increase of the relative tangential velocity of the first surface and the second surface, thus determining a production of thermal energy internally of the organic material that is practically constant and that ensures the rapid completion of the degrading process.
- a further advantage of the degrading station of the invention in addition to the rapidity of the degrading process, is that it does not require heating means providing thermal energy to the organic material. Consequently, the degrading station has a smaller number of components and this translates into a reduction in costs and maintenance.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of the section of an embodiment of the degrading apparatus that is the object of the present invention
- FIG. 2 and 3 illustrate the first wall and the second wall of a degrading station, object of the present invention, in two alternative embodiments that are also alternative to the embodiment of figure 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
- reference numeral (1 ) denotes a degrading station that is the object of the present invention.
- the degrading station (1) is such as to degrade an organic material having long molecular chains (for example a polymeric or plastic material) and to obtain a fluid organic material (preferably gaseous) having short molecular chains.
- reference numeral (100) denotes a degrading apparatus that is also the object of the present invention.
- the degrading station (1 ) comprises a chamber (2) which in turn comprises: a first wall (20), a first opening (21) afforded in the first wall (20) for inlet into the chamber (2) of an organic material having long molecular chains, and a second opening (22) for outlet from the chamber (2) of a fluid organic material having short molecular chains.
- the degrading station (1 ) comprises a second wall (3) which is arranged internally of the chamber (2) and which faces the first wall (20) so that a space (4) is defined between the second wall (3) and the first wall (20).
- the second wall (3) is dimensioned so as to enable communication (in particular fluid communication) between the first opening (21 ) and the second opening (22).
- the first wall (20) and/or the second wall (3) is/are activatable in rotation about a respective rotation axis (X) so that the organic material in inlet from the first opening (21 ) crosses the space (4) in an advancement direction (Y) which goes from the first opening (21 ) to the second opening (22).
- first wall (20), the second wall (3), the first opening (21 ) and the second opening (22) are reciprocally arranged and conformed in such a way that when the first wall (20) and/or the second wall (3) is activated in rotation, the tangential velocity perpendicular to the advancement direction (Y) at the wall activated in rotation, the first and/or the second, increases in the advancement direction (Y) along the whole space (4). so that when the organic material is in the space (4), a friction is determined between the molecular chains of the organic material which in turn determines a production of thermal energy that is almost constant internally of the organic material so as to degrade the organic material having long molecular chains and obtain the fluid organic material having short molecular chains.
- the degrading station (1 ) of the invention advantageously enables the degrading of organic material having long molecular chains by exploiting the thermal energy produced by the organic material itself internally thereof and enables making the degrading process more rapid (it is not necessary to supply thermal energy from outside), in the case in which the organic material having long molecular chains not is a good heat conductor.
- the first wall (20) and the second wall (3) are disc- shaped (see figure 1).
- the first opening (21 ) is fashioned at the centre of the first wall (20): the advancement direction (Y) of the organic material is radial towards the external edge of the discshaped first wall (20) and the disc-shaped second wall (3).
- the first wall (20) and the second wall (3) have a longitudinal extension along a relative extension axis and have a transversal section having an increasing area in the advancement direction (Y) (see figures 2 and 3).
- the first wall (20) and the second wall (3) are truncoconically conformed while, with reference to figure 3, the first wall (20) and the second wall (3) are substantially bell-formed.
- the first wall (20) has a circular crown-shaped transversal section while the second wall (3) can have a circular crown-shaped or circular transversal section.
- the first wall (20) and the second wall (3) are preferably coaxial.
- first wall (20) and the second wall (3) are, once more preferably, parallel to one another (see figures 1-3).
- the first wall (20) is fixed while and the second wall (3) is activatable in rotation.
- the degrading station (1 ) can comprise a rotor for activating the second wall (3) in rotation.
- the chamber (2) can comprise a third wall (23) which emerges from the first wall (20) and in which the second opening (22) is afforded. Further, the chamber (2) can comprise a third opening, afforded downstream of the first opening (21 ) with respect to the advancement direction (Y), for outlet from the chamber (2) of solid waste products which are obtained from the degrading of the organic material having long molecular chains. Further the degrading station (1) can comprise conveyor means (5) (for example an Archimedes screw) arranged in the chamber (2) in proximity of the third opening for conveying the solid waste products out of the chamber (2).
- conveyor means (5) for example an Archimedes screw
- the process of degrading of an organic material having long molecular chains determines the formation of the fluid organic material having short molecular chains (the desired product) and of solid waste products (undesirable product).
- the above embodiment advantageously enables maintaining the chamber (2) free of solid waste.
- the conveyor means (5) of the solid waste products are arranged in proximity of the external edge of the first wall (20) and of the second wall (3).
- the present invention further relates to a degrading apparatus (100) for degrading an organic material having long molecular chains and obtaining a fluid organic material having short molecular chains.
- the apparatus (100) comprises a degrading station (1 ) according to any one of the embodiments described in the foregoing embodiments and feed means (10) arranged so as to supply the organic material having long molecular chains to the chamber (2) through the first opening (21 ).
- the feed means (10) can comprise a conduit (1 1) for connecting a tank (not illustrated), for containing organic material having a long molecular chain, and the first opening (21 ). Further, internally of the conduit (1 1 ) an Archimedes screw (12) is arranged for transport of the organic material with long molecular chain along the tank to the first opening (21).
- the degrading station (1) is preferably arranged so as to have the rotation axis (X) vertical. Further, with reference to figure 1 , the first opening (21 ) is arranged lower than the second opening (22) so that the fluid organic material, once having exited from the space (4), autonomously flows towards the second opening (22).
- a fourth wall (33) emerges from the second wall (3) and faces the third wall (23).
- the fourth wall (33) is solidly constrained to the second wall (3) and bears shaking means (13) such that when the second wall (3) is set in rotation, the shaking means (13) facilitate the separation of the fluid organic material having short molecular chains from any further solid waste products.
