METHOD OF REWORKING SOLID DOMESTIC WASTES IN OXYGEN CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F23G5/00 C21C5/28 

FIELD: thermal reworking of solid domestic wastes; ferrous metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes incineration of solid domestic wastes and carbon-containing materials in liquid slag bath lanced by oxygen-containing gas. Mixture of combustible non-toxic components of wastes is loaded on oxygen converter bottom in lumped form at combustion heat of MJ/kg in the amount of 0.5-20 kg/t of liquid steel, after which metal scrap is charged and carbon-containing materials are added; then, charge thus formed is heated with oxygen at flow rate exceeding nominal level by 0.59-0.73 m³/kg of loaded wastes and molten iron is poured at oxidizing lancing. Used as combustible non-toxic components of wastes are food wastes, textile, rubber, leather, waste wood, bones.

EFFECT: possibility of combining processes of oxidizing refining of metal and thermal reworking of wastes in converter.
