Title:
IMPROVED PHYSICAL AND THERMAL TREATMENT OF WASTE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001026802
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A material processing apparatus and method, particularly for processing waste (10). The apparatus (1) includes a container (12) for holding the material (10), a loose media charge (38) within the container (12), a heater (30) in the container (12) for heating the media charge (38), and a device (31) for agitating the media charge (38). The agitator (31) may directly agitate the media charge (38) or may agitate the container (12), which in turn agitates the media charge (38). The agitation causes the media charge (38) to intermittently contact the heater (30), heating the media charge (38). The heated media charge impacts and pulverizes the material (10), thereby transferring heat to it. The impact and heating alters the material (10) into a more desirable end product.
