The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of producing activated carbon material in a reactor from carbonised material using at least in part the flue gas from another reactor pyrolytically producing the carbonised material from a feed material.

Provided is a system for continuous processing of heavy fuel oil from recycling waste oil and the processing residues of crude oil into useful products including means for feeding waste oil; at least one hot-gas filter, at least one condenser, at least one rotating kiln including an outer stationary jacket which forms a heating channel, and an inner rotating reactor, and means for removing solid coke from the rotating reactor. The at least one hot gas filter is configured to separate a naphtha/gasoil fraction after the processing of the heavy fuel oil from a soft coke fraction. The rotating reactor is configured to recover a solid coke fraction comprising high contaminant content. The invention further relates to a process for continuous processing of heavy fuel oil from recycling waste oil and the processing residues of crude oil into useful products, preferably with the system of the invention. Moreover, the invention relates to use of the products and waste products produced with the process and system of the invention.

An active material recovery apparatus capable of easily recovering an electrode active material from an electrode scrap in its intrinsic shape and a positive electrode active material reuse method using the active material recovery apparatus are provided. The active material recovery apparatus which is a rotary firing apparatus comprising a rod in a screw type therein includes a heat treatment bath and a screening wall arranged in a line along an axis of the rod, wherein the heat treatment bath constitutes a heating zone, and the screening wall constitutes a cooling zone; and an exhaust injection and degassing system, wherein the heat treatment bath removes a binder and a conductive material in an active material layer by performing heat treatment on an electrode scrap comprising the active material layer on a current collector in an air while rotating the electrode scrap around the axis of the rod and separates the current collector from the active material layer, and an active material in the active material layer passes through the screening wall and is recovered as an active material in powder form, and the current collector that does not pass through the screening wall is recovered separately.

A system for melting a pelleted charge material including a furnace having a feed end configured to receive a solid pelleted charge material and a discharge end opposite the feed end configured to discharge a molten charge material and a slag, a conveyor configured to feed the pelleted charge material into the feed end of the furnace, at least one oxy-fuel burner positioned to direct heat into a melting zone near the feed end to heat and at least partially melt the pelleted charge material to form the molten charge material and slag, wherein the oxy-fuel burner uses an oxidant having at least 70% molecular oxygen, and at least one flue for exhausting burner combustion products from the furnace.

An anti-segregation mixer for a bed of material, the anti-segregation mixer comprising: an elongate and substantially cylindrical shell having an inner surface; and a plurality of independent lifting means provided within the shell, wherein the plurality of lifting means each comprise a vane with a leading end and a trailing end, and are arranged with respect to the cylindrical shell such that the vane is spaced apart from the inner surface and the entire lifting means may pass through the bed of material.

There are provided processes for producing liquid fuels from a mainly organic starting material with a reduced content in water and/or with a reduced content in solids. The mainly organic starting material can be at least partially liquified and optionally further dewatered. The obtained at least partially liquid fraction can be thereafter used as feeding stream that is submitted to a pyrolysis treatment resulting in a solid gas fraction allowing the recovering of a liquid fuels after a controlled liquid solid separation treatment. There are also provided various other processes for producing liquid fuel from waste hydrocarbon and/or organic material as well as reactors, apparatuses, uses and managing systems thereof.
