Method of processing and/or recovering and/or reutilizing residues, especially from refinery processes

Abstract

In a method of processing and/or recovering and/or reutilizing residues, especially from refinery processes, containing a base substance, especially comprising hydrocarbon, for example kerosene, and oil, and also metallic residues, the residues are to be introduced into a first reactor (5) in which a portion of the volatile residues evaporates and then is transferred into a second reactor (10) and solidifies therein by cooling, optionally promoted by evaporation of water.

1 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A plant for processing, recovery and/or reutilization of residues, wherein a second reactor is connected downstream of a first reactor ( 5 ), the two reactors being connected to one another by a heatable conduit ( 11 ). 
     
     
         14 . The plant as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the first reactor ( 5 ) has a dedicated eccentric screw pump ( 4 ) for introduction of the residues. 
     
     
         15 . The plant as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein an inlet ( 6 ) of the first reactor and/or an inlet ( 13 ) of the second reactor is/are heatable. 
     
     
         16 . The plant as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein an outlet ( 8 ) from the first reactor ( 5 ) is preceded upstream by a weir ( 9 ). 
     
     
         17 . The plant as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the conduit ( 11 ) has a dedicated cooling unit ( 12 ). 
     
     
         18 . The plant as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the reactor ( 5 ,  10 ) is a mixing kneader. 
     
     
         19 . The plant as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the reactor ( 5 ,  10 ) is a mixing kneader having counterhooks.
