A continuous operation method is employed for the microwave high-temperature pyrolysis of a solid material containing an organic matter. The method includes the steps of mixing a solid material containing an organic matter with a liquid organic medium; transferring the obtained mixture to a microwave field; and in the microwave field, continuously contacting the mixture with a strong wave absorption material in an inert atmosphere or in vacuum. The strong wave absorption material continuously generates a high temperature under a microwave such that the solid material containing an organic matter and the liquid organic medium are continuously pyrolyzed to implement a continuous operation.

Electrolysis devices and systems include a first plate having first and second outlets; a first screen extending below the first plate proximate to the first outlet wherein a inner diameter of the first screen?an inner diameter of the first outlet; a tube extending below the first plate wherein the tube is disposed around the first screen with a first gap between the first screen and the tube; a second screen extending below the first plate such that the second screen is disposed around the tube with a second gap between the tube and the second screen; the second outlet is either disposed between the tube and the second screen or outside of the second screen; and wherein a length of the first screen is less that a length of the second screen, and a length of the tube is greater than the length of the second screen.

An apparatus comprises a vessel having an interior chamber formed by a vessel wall. The vessel wall comprises a double-walled structure having an inner wall and an outer wall. A moveable lid is configured to form an airtight seal with the interior chamber in a closed position. A basket is positioned within the chamber. One or more vibration devices, such as transducers, are attached to the basket. A heating coil is positioned within the chamber and surrounding the basket. The heating coil is configured to heat the basket using induction heating. An airtight space is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall and is filled with a gas. The temperature within the chamber may be lowered by cooling the gas.

Methods of converting a variety of fluorinated materials into anhydrous hydrogen fluoride are described. The methods include thermally decomposing the fluorinated materials into a gaseous effluent comprising hydrogen fluoride and carbon dioxide. This gaseous effluent is then treated with carbon at a temperature of at least 830 C., converting the carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide (CO) and producing a gaseous product comprising the hydrogen fluoride, which can be condensed to generate anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. These methods can also be used to convert water contained in the gaseous effluent into hydrogen.

The procedure (1) for obtaining raw materials resulting from waste material comprises: the supply (A) of harmonic steel resulting from waste material and prepared in a skein to be treated (3); a heat treatment (B) of the skein to be treated (3) for obtaining a treated skein (3a);a post-treatment (E) of the treated skein (3a) for obtaining steel reusable as raw material; where the heat treatment (B) comprises an inductive exposure step (B1) of the skein to be treated (3) to at least an alternate magnetic field for the induction in the skein to be treated (3) of alternate eddy currents adapted to raise the temperature of same.
