Burning of hydrocarbon fuels in a combustion engine creates pollutants that include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and various hydrocarbons. Catalytic converter which is designed to reduce such pollutants relies on precious metal catalysts like platinum. There is an ongoing need to find more effective methods of pollution control as well as cheaper alternatives to precious metals. The solution proposed in this disclosure takes advantage of electrical characteristics of exhaust gases. Some of the pollutants in the exhaust gas exhibit positive electron affinity. Such pollutants are converted to negative ions by providing extra electrons. Many of the pollutants have charge distributions which facilitate electrical interactions with the ions. They are attracted to the ions to form clusters. Pollutant clusters formed as such are separated from the rest of the exhaust gas by electric and/or magnetic forces.

A hydrocarbon reclamator consists of a closed chamber having an exhaust inlet port, a hydrogen inlet port, and a hydrocarbon outlet port. A magnetic flux is generated at the base of the closed chamber and a rotor is suspended by the magnetic flux within the closed chamber. The rotor is formed as a Tesla turbine having axially spaced discs concentrically mounted on a central shaft, a catalyst is formed on surfaces of the discs, and flow holes are formed through the discs. Venturi forces direct gas to release kinetic energy against the discs, so that hydrogen entering the chamber combines with carbon entering the chamber to form a hydrocarbon that exits the chamber via the hydrocarbon outlet port.

A treatment process for removing and/or remediating contaminants in a contaminated gas, includes generating vapor containing hydroxide ions, mixing the vapor containing hydroxide ions with a gas containing carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), and allowing the mixture of the vapor containing hydroxide ions and the gas to react. The step of generating vapor containing hydroxide ions involves boiling an aqueous solution containing ammonium hydroxide. The aqueous solution containing ammonium hydroxide can be enhanced to a higher hydroxide concentration and a higher pH by dissolving at least one other hydroxide compound in the aqueous solution.

[Object] To perform a magnetic decomposition treatment by effectively utilizing smoke emissions.

[Solution Means] When an opening 112 is opened and hot air is blown by a hot air gun 40, the waste is thermally decomposed inside the thermal decomposition treatment chamber 110. When smoke emissions generated by the thermal decomposition pass through a shower 210 and a swashplate filter 220 of the filter section 200, a temperature thereof is lowered and tar is removed, and then the smoke emissions pass: through a blower 230, and when the smoke emissions pass through a water tank filter 240, tar is further removed, and moisture is removed by a cloth filter 250. Thereafter, odor is eliminated by a zeolite filter 260 and an activated carbon filter 270, and then, from an intake duct 30, and the smoke emissions are fed to the thermal decomposition treatment chamber 110.

Disclosed is a gas separation arrangement for separating and containing various types of gas from a collection chamber based on their different atomic masses. The chamber is connected to an ion diverter via a valve that when open permits the various types of gas to migrate from the collection chamber to an ionizer where the gas is ionized. The ionized gas is accelerated through an ion accelerator and dispensed into an ion deflector. The ion deflector comprises a magnetic field within a channel defined by a pair of split-pole magnets. The trajectory of the ions is based on the mass of the ions, which separates the ions. Multiple collectors are positioned at different locations on an exit side of the ion deflector to receive the different ions traveling along their respective trajectories.
