Gas-Fired Smelting Apparatus And Process

View page
US Patent:
56852444, Nov 11, 1997
Filed:
Jun 28, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/496030
Inventors:
Victor M. Goldfarb - Swampscott MA
Jaime Woodroffe - North Reading MA
Assignee:
Textron Systems Corporation - Wilmington MA
International Classification:
F23G 100
US Classification:
110346
Abstract:
A novel smelting process and furnace for the economical recovery of vanadium, in the form of ferrovanadium alloy, from oil ashes and/or coal ashes while producing non-hazardous slag for safe and inexpensive disposal in landfill areas. A preferred embodiment of the present process involves the steps of (a) mixing the waste ashes with a contained or added carbon source, such as coal, and a binding material, such as cement; (b) pelletizing the mixture; (c) feeding the pellets, optionally together with steel scrap, through a vertical preheater shaft furnace into a slag pool; (d) impinging fuel gas jets upon the surface of the slag layer to heat and circulate the slag and to burn the carbon added to the pellets, generating additional heat, to produce a layer of molten ferrovanadium alloy at the bottom of the molten pool, covered by a protective layer of molten slag, (e) withdrawing the valuable molten ferrovanadium alloy for use, and (f) withdrawing the molten slag for safe disposal in landfill areas.

Annular Batch Feed Furnace And Process

US Patent:
54475473, Sep 5, 1995
Filed:
Jan 31, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/189196
Inventors:
Victor Goldfarb - Swampscott MA
Andrew W. McClaine - Lexington MA
Jaime A. Woodroffe - North Reading MA
Ashok Chatwani - Burlington MA
David Stickler - Carisle MA
Joseph Stancato - Wilmington MA
Assignee:
Gas Research, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C03B 516
C03B 300
C03B 500
US Classification:
651341
Abstract:
A particle suspension furnace having an upper injector section, an intermediate combustion section and a lower separation section. The injector section comprises a central fuel conduit for supplying a rich fuel/air mixture to a burner at the base of the injector section, and a concentric annular mixing chamber for supplying a mixture of reactive or meltable batch particles and oxygen to the burner. The fuel-rich burner flame diffuses radially-outwardly to consume the peripherally-supplied oxygen and form an oxygen/fuel combustion mixture having a predetermined selected stoichiometry which is variable above and below 1:1 stoichiometry depending upon whether a reducing or oxidizing atmosphere is desired. The suspended particles absorb heat to quench the burner temperature and reduce the NO. sub. x pollutant formation.

Gas-Fired Steelmelting Process

View page
US Patent:
50663267, Nov 19, 1991
Filed:
May 7, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/519509
Inventors:
Jagdish A. Agarwal - Sudbury MA
Richard Gannon - Andover MA
Victor Goldfarb - Swampscott MA
David Stickler - Carlisle MA
Jaime Woodroffe - Andover MA
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C21B 1310
US Classification:
75581
Abstract:
Process and apparatus for the rapid efficient melting of solid ferrous metal scrap without direct exposure to water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen or oxygen-containing gases, using natural gas and/or other caloric gaseous fuels. The apparatus includes a furnace having a refractory base, means for introducing ferrous metal such as solid steel scrap to the well area, means for providing a slag layer over the solid steel scrap, and gas burner means for emitting one or more forced gas flames for superheating the slag layer to a liquid which covers the scrap and for agitating and circulating the molten slag to form a highly-efficient heat-transfer medium for melting and refining the steel scrap while it is insulated against contact with gases, particularly water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen or oxygen-containing gases. The process may operate continuously and can recover heat for scrap preheating, turbine power and other efficient uses.

Pulsed Fuel Injection System For Reducing No.sub.x Emissions

View page
US Patent:
53498119, Sep 27, 1994
Filed:
Dec 16, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/991185
Inventors:
David B. Stickler - Carlisle MA
Daniel W. Swallom - Reading MA
Judith E. Reich - Andover MA
Victor M. Goldfarb - Swampscott MA
Isaac Sadovnik - Newton MA
Assignee:
Avco Corporation - Providence RI
International Classification:
F02C 926
US Classification:
60 3906
Abstract:
A system for reducing the formation of NO. sub. x pollutants during the combustion of liquid fuel in a gas turbine engine. The system comprises introducing an externally modulated, rapidly-pulsed, oscillated or sinusoidal fuel flow delivery rate (generically referred to as "modulated") to produce a controlled degree of combustor air input flow oscillation and bulk flow oscillation within the combustor which enhances the fuel-air mixing rate and homogeneity within the combustor, decreases the residence time of transition fuel/air mixtures prone to NO. sub. x formation, and substantially decreases the NO. sub. x concentration in the resulting combustion gas product without creating a net pressure gain throughout the combustion chamber.

Pool Separation Melt Furnace And Process

View page
US Patent:
56721900, Sep 30, 1997
Filed:
Jun 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/494500
Inventors:
Anthony F. Litka - Hanover MA
Jamie A. Woodroffe - North Reading MA
Victor Goldfarb - Swampscott MA
Andrew W. McClaine - Lexington MA
Kevin J. Keane - Brookline MA
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C03B 516
C03B 300
C03B 500
US Classification:
651341
Abstract:
Process and furnace for the continuous production of a molten pool from particulate meltable batch materials such as glass-forming raw materials. The raw materials, in particulate form, are injected into and suspended in combustion gases within a combustor section to form a particle-laden gas flow. The gas flow is accelerated vertically downwardly into a refractory chamber to impact the surface of a molten pool, producing inertial separation of the molten particles into the pool and strong shear forces by the exiting combustion gases, resulting in pool circulation and improved fining and homogeneity.
