DEVICE FOR QUICK AND SAFE PROCESSING OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF ALKALINE METAL RESIDUES (K, Na AND NaK ALLOYS) Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC C22B7/00 B01F1/00 B09B5/00 

FIELD: waste management.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the utilization of large quantities of alkali metals and their alloys used in industry as a heat carrier or working fluid. The device contains a melting tank with a heater for producing an alkali metal melt and a reaction vessel connected to it. A cap is welded on its removable lid on the inside, in the center of which there is a removable nozzle, surrounded by a protective cylinder with an inert gas supply, for supplying the melt to the reaction zone with water, the circulation of which through the reaction vessel is ensured by the inclusion of this vessel in the composition of the water circulation circuit with a water pump, a supply tank with water supply, a refrigerator for cooling water heated during its continuous circulation through the reaction zone, and a water seal, through which, during processing, gas reaction products are constantly removed by bubbling through water.

EFFECT: device secures fast and safe processing of large quantities of alkali metals without harmful emissions.
