Abstract:
A method for impregnating waste materials with an impregnating agent while concurrently impregnating, suspending, and fragmenting the waste materials in a turbulent fragmenting zone, said method comprising:a) feeding a waste feed of the waste materials to the turbulent fragmenting zone;b) uniformly injecting the impregnating agent onto the waste materials while suspending the waste materials within the fragmenting zone;c) particulating the waste feed to a particulated product by fragmenting and impacting the waste materials within said turbulent fragmenting zone;d) uniformly impregnating the particulated product with said impregnating agent within said turbulent fragmenting zone so as to provide a uniformly impregnated particulated product;e) screening the impregnated particulated product to further fragment said product to a desired particle size; andf) recovering the uniformly impregnated particulated product of the desired particle size from said fragmenting zone.
