Process for separating hydrocarbons from waste water

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

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.
