Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a waste pyrolysis furnace for pyrolyzing waste plastics and waste vinyl. Background Technology

[0002] Due to recent environmental issues, carbon reduction has become a major topic. In addition, research is currently underway to develop new energy sources, such as producing hydrogen from waste plastics and vinyl.

[0003] Among these, research is actively underway to replace conventional petroleum by producing pyrolysis oil through the decomposition of waste plastics and vinyl using low-temperature pyrolysis devices.

[0004] This low-temperature pyrolysis is a method of decomposing internal materials by introducing waste plastics or waste vinyl into a large pyrolysis furnace and applying heat within approximately 500 to 600°C. Waste plastics or waste vinyl are introduced into the pyrolysis furnace, and heating proceeds from the bottom of the furnace using a heating means. As the temperature rises, the internal materials decompose and are ultimately separated into gas and residual sludge. When the gas generated during the decomposition process is cooled, pyrolysis oil is produced, while the sludge is disposed of.

[0005] At this time, the above pyrolysis furnace is heated using a burner as the heating means, but there is a problem in that the pyrolysis efficiency decreases as heat is released to the outside.

[0006] Related technology regarding such conventional pyrolysis furnaces is disclosed in Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1218181 (December 27, 2012). The problem to be solved

[0018] The heating means (10) can be placed at the bottom of the main body (100).

[0019] In one embodiment, the heating means (10) may be a burner that heats the main body (100) by applying heat from the flame generated during the combustion of the combustion fuel, but is not limited thereto and may also be applied as a means that transfers heat to the main body (100) by generating heat through an electric supply.

[0020] Here, at least one heating means (10) is disposed at the lower part of the main body (100), and when a plurality of heating means (10) are disposed at the lower part of the main body (100), they may be disposed spaced apart from each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body (100).

[0021] The above main body (100) may be provided as a container structure having a space for accommodating the waste. For example, the above main body (100) is illustrated as a container structure with a circular cross-section, but it is not limited thereto and may be provided as a container structure with a polygonal cross-section.

[0022] The above-mentioned main body (100) has a sealed interior so that pyrolysis can be stably carried out through heating of waste, and the interior of the main body (100) can be maintained in an oxygen-free or low-oxygen state.

[0023] In addition, the main body (100) may be provided with an inlet (110) for introducing waste into the interior, an opening and closing means (120) for opening and closing the inlet (110), an exhaust port (not shown) for discharging gas generated during the pyrolysis of waste, and an outlet (not shown) for discharging sludge generated after the pyrolysis of waste.

[0033] Through this, the flame generated from the heating means (10) comes into contact with the outer surface of the main body (100) through the first through hole portion (210a) and the second through hole portion (310a), thereby stably heating the main body (100) and increasing the thermal insulation efficiency of the main body (100).
