A system for separating hydrocarbons from a material which includes a process chamber (103), a process pan (102) operatively connected to the process chamber and removable therefrom, a blower operatively connected to the process chamber and to a heat source (112), the blower adapted to force heated air into the process chamber through the material disposed on the process pan (102), the forced heated air adapted to vaporize hydrocarbons and other contaminants disposed on the material, and at least one condenser (110) operatively connected to the process chamber (103) and adapted to condense the vaporised hydrocarbons and other contaminants is disclosed. Further, a method for separating hydrocarbons from a material which includes passing a stream of heated air over the material to volatilize the hydrocarbons, passing the stream of heated air containing the hydrocarbons through at least one condenser (110) to form liquid hydrocarbons, collecting the liquid hydrocarbons, and recirculating the heated air is disclosed.

L'invention concerne un système de séparation d'hydrocarbures d'une matière particulaire, qui comprend une chambre de traitement (103); un bac de traitement (102) relié de manière fonctionnelle à la chambre de traitement et pouvant en être retiré; une soufflerie reliée de manière fonctionnelle à la chambre de traitement et à une source de chaleur (112). La soufflerie est adaptée pour injecter de l'air chauffé dans la chambre de traitement à travers la matière particulaire disposée sur le bac de traitement (102). L'air chauffé injecté sert à vaporiser des hydrocarbures et d'autres contaminants déposés sur la matière particulaire. Le système comprend également au moins un condensateur (110) relié de manière fonctionnelle à la chambre de traitement et adapté pour condenser les hydrocarbures et autres contaminants vaporisés. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé permettant de séparer des hydrocarbures d'une matière particulaire, qui consiste à passer un flux d'air chauffé sur la matière particulaire afin de volatiliser les hydrocarbures; à passer le flux d'air chauffé contenant les hydrocarbures à travers au moins un condensateur (110) afin de former des hydrocarbures liquides; à recueillir les hydrocarbures liquides; et à recirculer l'air chauffé.
