AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device and system for removing pollutants from combustion gas. The device includes a combustion chamber with a heat source and a quantity of volcanic rock inside. The volcanic rock helps remove at least one pollutant from the combustion gas before it exits the combustion chamber. The device can be used in various devices and systems that have a combustion chamber, such as furnaces, stoves, incinerators, boilers, and automotive exhaust systems. The heat source can use any material for fuel, such as liquefied fuel, gaseous fuel, contaminating fuel, and waste material. The device helps reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere and provides a more efficient and effective solution for removing pollutants from combustion gas.

Problems solved by technology

By positioning the volcanic rock in such a fashion, the gases formed during combustion contact the volcanic rock and interfere with their unobstructed passage to the exterior of the device.

Crude Analysis of Flue Gas

[0089]The purpose of this experiment was to analyze flue gas samples obtained from a stove built by the inventors using volcanic material (lava rock), as a filtration medium for exhaust gases resulting from the combustion of tires and wood. The wood stove was substantially similar to the stove depicted in FIG. 1.

Instrumentation and Materials:

[0090]A hole was drilled into the flue pipe of the stove at approximately 12-15 inches above the stove. Steel tubing similar to that used for automotive brake lines was inserted into the hole and a 30 mL sterile, latex-free BD Syringe with Luer-Lok tip was butted up against the tubing and filled with gases exhausting from the combustion chamber. The gas was then dispensed from the syringe into a short path gas transmission cell (Pike Technologies, Madison, Wis.). The syringe was filled three times and used to flush the cell of atmospheric air. The syringe was then filled three times and injected into the cell for spectr...

Abstract

The present disclosure encompasses methods and systems for decontaminating polluted gas using heated volcanic rock.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention encompasses methods and systems for decontaminating a polluted combustion gas using heated volcanic rock.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is widely accepted that the burning of fossil fuels and waste is contributing to global warming and to the pollution of the planet. Additionally, combustion gases generated by the burning of these fuels contain many components that are thought to be hazardous to human, plant, and animal health. Many solutions at reducing the emission of pollutants and minimizing the impact on global warming have been proposed, but many are difficult or expensive to implement or detract from the overall efficiency of the fuel being burned.[0003]The present disclosure is related to the filtration of combustion gases. More particularly, the present disclosure is related to the removal of pollutants from combustion gases. Still more particularly, the present disclosure is related to the use of a widely available natural sub...
