A treatment method and apparatus is provided to effectively use a combustible waste such as waste plastic, waste tires, rice husk, wood shavings, PKS, RDF and sludge while maintaining stable operation; to improve the combustion efficiency of a fossil fuel such as coal and coke; and furthermore to reduce the NOx concentration in a cement kiln exhaust gas. An apparatus 1 for treating a combustible, the apparatus comprising: a mixer 3 for mixing a combustible C with a preheated raw material R2, which has a temperature of 600° C. or higher and 900° C. or lower and which is drawn from a preheater cyclone of a cement burning device 10, to gasify the combustible; and a feeder 5 for feeding the gasified combustible and the preheated raw material (mixed raw material M) to a region from an inlet end 13a of the cement burning device to a calciner 12. When the combustible and the preheated raw material are mixed, moisture may be added to cause water gas shift reaction, and the resultant water gas and the preheated raw material may be introduced to the region from the inlet end of the cement burning device to the calciner.

A vacuum cracking method and a cracking apparatus for a power battery are disclosed. The vacuum cracking method includes the following steps that: waste power batteries are fed from a feed hopper and then enter a rolling unit for rolling treatment to obtain a crushed material; the crushed material is transported to a cracking unit for preheating, then heated and cracked under an inert atmosphere or vacuum to obtain cracked gas, solid cracked products and non-crackable products; and the solid cracked products and the non-crackable products are transported to a pyrolysis unit for pyrolysis at an aerobic atmosphere to obtain pyrolysis gas and non-pyrolysis products.

A method and device for drying wood chips to be used as raw material for a gas-generating reactor, the device being disposed between the storage for wood chips and the reactor. Product gas of the reactor is at least partially used in a block-type thermal power station (BHKW), and hot air from the housing of the block-type thermal power station is used to heat and dry wood chips in a drying hopper which has at least one outlet for the cooled humidified air.
