Patent

CA 2158553

A solid waste conversion process and apparatus for converting solid waste having long carbon chains and hydrogen groups and having by mass less than 80 % water are disclosed. The solid waste material is dissociated substantially in the absence of oxygen into unstable gaseous byproducts and particulate matter and the bonds in the long carbon chains are broken. In a condenser system the unstable gaseous byproducts are condensed into a reacted solution comprising liquid hydrocarbons. The condenser system utilizing a hydroxyde or carbonate base solution, preferably a sodium hydroxide solution. Preferably the liquid hydrocarbons are separated from the reacted solution. The condenser system may include the steps of spraying the unstable gaseous byproducts with the solution to form reacted gases and cooling the reacted gases. Alternatively the condenser system may include the steps of partially cooling the unstable gaseous byproducts and maintaining the unstable gaseous byproducts in their unstable form so that stable gases do not form and condensing the partially cooled unstable gaseous byproducts in a catalytic condenser containing the solution.
