Patent ID: 7776284

Claim:
An apparatus for decomposing waste plastics and organics, comprising (1) a means for treating waste plastics and organics, and (2) a means for treating oxidation catalyst, wherein the means for treating waste plastics and organics includes: a reactor which circulates a catalyst from upstream end to downstream end in the reactor; a circulation means which circulates waste plastics and/or organics charged from a charge opening of the reactor together with the catalyst from the upstream end to the downstream end; an agitation means which agitates the catalyst and the waste plastics and/or organics in the reactor; and a returning passage which guides the catalyst from the downstream end to the upstream end of the reactor in the reactor, the waste plastics and/or organics being gasified in the step of circulating the waste plastics and/or organics together with the catalyst from the upstream end to the downstream end of the reactor, and wherein the step of circulation in the reactor has a means for separating and recovering metals and/or inorganics.
