This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the gasification, deoiling, and
roasting of oil-containing waste catalysts in the field of
hazardous waste disposal and utilization technology. The apparatus includes a
fluidized bed gasifier, a secondary
combustion chamber, a
rotary kiln, an ignition burner, a supplementary
combustion burner, a deoiled material conveying device, a mixing and feeding device, a
waste heat boiler, an air preheating device, a blower, a quench
tower, a
dust collector, a deacidification
tower, a
flue gas reheater, an induced draft fan, a
chimney, and a
flue gas recirculation fan. This invention belongs to a pyrometallurgical process for the disposal and utilization of oil-containing waste catalysts. Through the method described in this invention, oil-containing waste catalysts are deoiled in a
fluidized bed gasifier to produce
combustible gas and deoiled material. The heat generated after the
combustible gas is fully combusted in the secondary
combustion chamber enters the
rotary kiln to roast the mixture of the deoiled material and alkaline materials, generating
sodium-based material. The subsequent treatment process of the
sodium-based material discharged from the
rotary kiln is not within the scope of this invention. The
flue gas discharged from the rotary
kiln undergoes purification treatment such as dust removal and acid removal in subsequent
flue gas treatment processes, thereby achieving ultra-
low emission standards. This invention achieves efficient
recovery and utilization of precious metals from waste catalysts using a low-cost, low-energy pyrometallurgical process.
