A disposal system for the processing of solid waste devices to recycle materials located within the devices and recover, reuse and recycle such materials. Such system may include a primary chamber and secondary chamber, attached preferably by use of one or more exhaust ducts, and a secondary chamber exhaust duct. The solid waste devices may include any type of waste, such as electronics waste, medical device waste, and the like.

A pyrolysis system and method of use is capable of continuously processing feedstock. The pyrolysis system has enclosed pyrolysis tubes heated by a heating means to pyrolyze feedstock. Conveying mechanisms such as augers transport the feedstock into and through the pyrolysis tubes. The pyrolysis tubes can be heated to a desired temperature range using a heat exchanger, such as a molten metal bath, or inductively heated using induction coils wrapped around the pyrolysis tubes. The feedstock is physically separated from the outside environment by the enclosed pyrolysis tubes. A dynamic feedstock plug is formed upstream of the pyrolysis tubes to prevent air and moisture from entering via the inlet of the pyrolysis tubes. An outlet section connected to the outlets of the pyrolysis tubes separates the gaseous and solid products of pyrolysis and permits removal of the products while preventing air and moisture from entering into the system.

Applying heat from a heat source to a first region to cause a first pyrolysis process, the first pyrolysis process resulting in a gaseous mixture, and applying heat from the heat source to a second region to cause a second pyrolysis process, the second pyrolysis process being applied to the gaseous mixture, wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region. Pyrolysis is used to destroy oils, tars and/or PAHs in carbonaceous material.

A horizontal pyrolysis furnace has a kiln and two barrels. The two barrels are respectively a processing barrel rotatably disposed in the kiln and a takeover barrel detachably connected with the processing barrel. Each one of the two barrels has a gate assembly and at least one spiral guiding plate. The gate assembly of the processing barrel is mounted on an end of the processing barrel, and extends out from the kiln. The two gate assemblies of the two barrels are detachably connected such that the two barrels are able to rotate synchronously. The at least one spiral guiding plate is fixed on an inner surface of one of the two barrels, and the spiral guiding plates of both barrels have an identical helical direction.

A gasification apparatus has a primary chamber with a floor comprising a hearth and feedstock augers, for gasification of feedstock. There is a mixing chamber for receiving through an opening synthetic gases from the primary chamber and comprising an air inlet fan for adding oxygen for ignition. There is also a secondary chamber linked with the mixing chamber to deliver heat from combustion of gases from the mixing chamber to the hearth. An outlet valve delivers gases from the secondary chamber through a heat exchanger and to an induce draft fan. A controller dynamically controls flow of gases in the chambers according to sensed pressures and temperatures in said chambers.

A rotary furnace (1) for pyrolyzing a feedstock, the furnace (1) comprises a rotating vessel (12) having an upstream end (12A) with an inlet (16) for receiving feedstock and a downstream end (12B) with an outlet (17A, 17B) for egress of pyrolysis products, and a gas extraction pipe (13) extending within and along the rotating vessel (12) from the downstream end (12B), the gas extraction pipe (13) having an opening (18) upstream of the downstream end (12B) to accept gaseous components generated in use.
