A distillation system including a retort and a distillation column. The retort includes an inlet end, an outlet end opposite the inlet end and including an outlet opening, a rotatable drum configured to heat a product therein and move the product between the inlet end and the outlet end. The distillation column is coupled to the outlet end of the retort and configured to receive the product therein upon exiting the outlet opening of the retort. The distillation column includes a solid particle trap section positioned above the outlet opening, a packing section positioned above the solid particle trap section and including screen at a bottom end thereof, a dust filter therein, and a first bubble tray section positioned above the packing section and including a first outlet feed for outflow of a first fluid product.

Provided is an externally heated carbonization furnace that includes a plurality of rotary kilns connected in series, each of which includes an outer cylinder, a kiln inner cylinder that rotate relative to the outer cylinder, and a heater that supplies heating gas to a section between the outer cylinder and the kiln inner cylinder. The externally heated carbonization furnace further includes a drive device that rotates at least one of the kiln inner cylinders and the kiln inner cylinder different from the at least one of the kiln inner cylinders and a control device that controls the drive device according to moisture content of a treated object in the kiln inner cylinder.

Phosphorus pentoxide production with fluorine management includes collecting phosphorus from kiln off gas as phosphoric acid containing fluorine and reacting the fluorine in the phosphoric acid with reactive silica to yield fluorosilicic acid. The fluorosilicic acid is removed from the collected phosphoric acid. Fluorine management includes discharging from the kiln a residue containing processed agglomerates and heating the discharged, processed agglomerates and releasing fluorine therefrom. The released fluorine is reacted with reactive silica to yield fluorosilicic acid and the fluorosilicic acid is collected. Fluorine management includes forming a reducing kiln bed with feed agglomerates below a reducing freeboard. Kiln off gas is generated containing phosphorus in the form of elemental phosphorus a) oxidized outside of the kiln to phosphorus pentoxide and collected as phosphoric acid, b) collected as elemental phosphorus, or c) both.

A reactor and its internals used for the thermal processing of a liquid mixture. The reactor comprises plates and at least part of the surface of said plates is used to perform the thermal processing. The reactor and its internals are used for the thermal processing of various liquid mixtures containing organic compounds. The processes, for thermal processing the mixture comprising organic compounds, comprising the steps of feeding the reactor and its internals and being useful for treating wastes oils and/or for destroying hazardous and/or toxic products; and/or for reusing waste products in an environmentally acceptable form and/or way, and/or for cleaning contaminated soils or beaches, and/or cleaning tar pits, and/or use in coal-oil co-processing, and/or recovering oil from oil spills, and/or PCB free transformed oils. A process for fabricating the reactor and its internals is also proposed.

A rotating drum device for use with a carbonizer system and process of use thereof are provided. The drum device has an augered feed line, a center feed line for accepting introduced waste material in fluid communication with the augered feed line, control valves for controlling the amount of waste material moving through the drum at any given discrete point in time, and a heating jacket encapsulating a circumference of an outer wall of the drum that provides indirect thermal heating to the drum. Internal angled vanes are disposed along an inner wall of the drum and move waste material progressively through the drum. Constituent waste material may be separated with a magnetic strip disposed along an inner wall of the drum. Rotation of the drum is driven by at least one external rotating drum drive motor that engages external threads disposed along the outer wall of the drum.
