Tóm tắt

A thermodynamic analysis has been performed using a universal TERRA program. The analysis has made it possible to identify the optimum parameters of the process of plasma chemical conversion of spent lubricants for various gasifying agents (air and water vapor). Based on the calculations, a closed-cycle scheme has been proposed for their integrated plasma chemical treatment, the scheme being a wasteless method of waste conversion. This method makes it possible to simultaneously obtain synthesis gas suitable for the production of methanol and electricity and isolate precious nonferrous and rare metals with minimal environment impact.
