Process for separating hydrocarbons from waste water

Process for removal of solid and gaseous noxious matter from hot gases

An apparatus for filtering solids suspended in a slurry has a housing divided by a horizontal partition into a lower filtrand chamber and an upper filtrate compartment, the partition serving as a vibratile suspension for a multiplicity of filter tubes depending therefrom into the filtrand compartment. An impactor disposed above the housing top has a vertical plunger, coupled with the partition, which is surrounded by or forms a discharge duct with a lower end closely overlying the bottom of a depression formed in the partition; this duct has an outlet opening above the housing top through which effluent present in the filtrate compartment is expelled by the pressure of incoming slurry in a working phase and by the pressure of a scavenger gas such as air in a purging phase.

Synthetic plastic materials for the manufacture of extrusion, injection and press forms are described, which are prepared from elastomers as well as mixed- and copolymers thereof with thermoplastic properties and liquification products from extractive coal hydrogenation which are residues with a softening point between 50.degree. and 150.degree. C. Polar, aromatic or cyclic groups in the elastomer component increase the compatibility of the coal liquification residue with the elastomer and improve the mechanical properties of the products.

Modified synthetic plastic from thermoplastic synthetics and coal

Synthetic form masses are described which are derived from thermoplastic polyolefins as well as mixed and copolymerisates thereof and a coal liquification product. The coat liquification product is a residue which precipitates out during extractive hydrogenation and has a softening point between 70.degree. and 200.degree. C. The thermoplastic polyolefin contains a component of polar, aromatic or cyclic monomers, which improve the compatibility of the components in the mixture. The form masses from this mixture, which may include filler material, have excellent tear resistance properties.

Form masses from thermoplastic synthetic materials and residues of coal

A composition for sound absorbent panels, which may be utilized in construction elements, comprises a mixture of 70 to 97 weight percent of carbon-contained material and a binder of synthetic plastic material. The carbon-contained material used in the composition contains 50-60% of pure carbon and 40-50% of inorganic constituents and may be obtained from residues of coal hydrogenation or pitch filtration. The material is treated at an elevated temperature and under pressure before the binder is added thereto and then the obtained compound is formed into a panel.

A method of and an adhesive cartridge for securing an anchor or the like in a bore hole or the like. The cartridge comprises an outer tube and an inner tube within this outer tube. Between the inner and outer tube is a mass of synthetic-resin material and filler. The inner tube is filled with a hardener capable of reacting with the synthetic-resin to form a mass capable of holding the rock anchor or the like in the borehole. At least the outer tube is made of an elastomeric polymer with which is mixed a filler that renders the outer tube completely opaque. The inner tube may also be extruded simultaneously with the outer tube of the same synthetic-resin material. It is also possible otherwise to partition the interiors of the outer tube, or to provide the one component in the outer tube directly in contact with the other component but unmixed therewith.

Coal tar pitch is liquified at temperature of from about 135.degree. C. to 280.degree. C. The liquid coal tar pitch is filtered through a sieve with apertures from about 100 to 220 .mu.m and with a closed surface area of at least 75 percent of the total sieve surface under pressures of from about 2 to 10 bar until a filter cake of a height of from about 40 to 80 mm forms above the sieve for separating ash, soot and quinoline insoluble particles from the liquid. Then the filtrate obtained is subjected to a coking process. The needle cokes resulting in accordance with the invention provide excellent materials for the production of graphite electrodes.

Method for the production of needle coke

The filter cake resulting from the filtration of tar, pitch, coal extract or coal oil with the help of a filter aid, is dried by blowing an inert gas through it. Thereafter it is comminuted to a particle size of about 0.5 mm and these particles are heated in a fluidized bed at the rate of 1000.degree. C./min to a temperature of 500.degree.-1200.degree. C. There is obtained a size mix of swelled particles from which a fraction having a size of about 0.05-0.3 mm is segregated and recirculated to the filter as a filter aid. Particles having a size above or below the segregated fraction are thermally decomposed, as are gaseous and liquid products which are liberted during the thermal treatment in the fluidized bed.

Method of processing and recirculating filtration residues

Manufacture of isotropic coke by first selecting as feed material tar from low temperature carbonization with a hydrogen content above 5.5%, a carbon content less than 88% and a softening point above 60.degree. C., filtering the tar to remove solid particles, and heating the filtrate to a temperature between about 900.degree. C. and 1300.degree. C. to form an isotropic coke.

Method of producing an isotropic coke

An alluvial filter candle apparatus has a plurality of filtering elements each of which has a return casing surrounding a riser lower end provided with a filtrate inlet opening and preventing backflow of the filtrate through the filter cake. The volume of the return casing corresponds to that of the riser. The risers are formed as mounting rods which mount candle-like filtering bodies of the filtering elements to a partition subdividing a filter housing into a filtrate chamber and a filtrant chamber. The partition sealingly abuts against and is movable relative to the filter casing. An arrangement is provided for forcedly displacing the partition together with the filtering element so as to separate the filter cake from the latter. A method of cleaning the filtering apparatus is also provided.

A membrane having a preselected pore type which is suited for separating processes comprising a shaped body formed by heating a mixture of finely ground carbonaceous material with a binder composed of about 5 to 20% by weight natural or synthetic elastomer or a mixture of both and of about 1 to 20% by weight of thermoplastic material to about 400.degree. to 1400.degree. C. in an inert atmosphere at a rate of temperature increase between 0.1.degree. and 10.degree. C./min. The membranes are useful for a wide range of selective chemical and physical separation operations of different materials.

Membranes with preselected pore types for separation processes

Self-curing or curable materials are obtained from the distillation residues of coal hydrogenation by condensing a residue of this type having a softening point of 30.degree. to 54.degree. C. in a first stage with a mono- or dihydroxybenzene and/or a methylhydroxybenzene and/or an ethylene substituted benzene. These reactants are used at a ratio of residue to benzene derivative between 1:1 and 2:1 and the reaction is carried out in the presence of acid at a pH of 1 to 2 and at a temperature of 90.degree. to 100.degree. C. In a second stage the thus obtained reaction product is then further reacted at about the same temperature with an aldehyde. As a result a novolak-type resin is obtained. The invention permits the making of inexpensive self-curing or curable materials with properties similar to those of phenolic acids. Besides, the invention also provides an outlet for the high boiling residue of the extractive coal hydrogenation which otherwise had little use.

Process for making self-curing or curable materials from coal

A process is provided for purifying filter-clogging coal tar residue of the type obtained by low-temperature carbonization of coal. Such coal tar residues include viscous organic coal tar constituents, particulate solid impurities and liquid water. Applicants' process includes the step of heating coal at 450.degree.-700.degree. C. at least substantially in the absence of air to thereby decompose the coal to products including coal tar, the coal tar being of the type containing liquid water, particulate solid impurities, and viscous organic coal tar constituents including light oils, the light oils incidentally combining with the liquid water to produce a filter-clogging emulsion. The thus-formed coal tar is then heated to a temperature above the boiling point of water and sufficiently high to thereby distill off substantially all of the water and the light oils to thereby obtain an intermediate product which is substantially free from the presence of liquid water and light oil constituents which in combination form a filter-clogging emulsion. Finally, the intermediate product is subsequently filtered to thereby separate the particulate solid impurities from the undistilled viscous constituents of the coal tar.
