Electric Furnace For Continously Heating And Regenerating Spent Activated Carbon
US Patent:
4455282, Jun 19, 1984
Filed:
Sep 7, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/415268
Inventors:
Gerald E. Marquess - New York NY
David J. Nell - Oradell NJ
David J. Nell - Oradell NJ
International Classification:
B01J 400, B01J 812, B01J 2034
US Classification:
422199
Abstract:
A furnace for heating particulate material comprises an air-tight shell and a heat insulating lining which define a hollow shaft. Electrical resistance heating elements spaced along the length of the hollow shaft adjacent the insulating lining. A baffle system supported within the shaft promotes heating by radiation and convection. The baffle system has side supports vertically positioned within the shaft, a plurality of inner trays each defining pairs of sloping surfaces joined at a ridge, and a plurality of outer trays each defining a sloping surface. The outer trays are arranged to receive material falling from an inner tray thereabove and to deliver material to the ridge of an inner tray therebelow.
System For Electrically Heating And Regenerating Spent Activated Carbon
US Patent:
4374092, Feb 15, 1983
Filed:
Jul 9, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/281691

International Classification:
B01J 400, B01J 812, B01J 2034
US Classification:
422199
Abstract:
A system and method of reactivating wet spent activated carbon comprising a batch operated solid-liquid separator, a continuous feed electrically heated furnace and surge bin therebetween. Heat exchangers recover sensible heat of the exhaust gases and/or hot carbon leaving the furnace to heat the air used by the solid-liquid separator. A portion of the furnace exhaust along with added air is recirculated through the furnace to provide the appropriate atmosphere for regeneration of the carbon.
