Patent ID: 7674947

Claim:
A recirculating system for use with combustion chambers, the system comprising a molten metal reactor in communication with a combustion chamber, wherein the molten metal reactor includes a bath of molten metal, an injection lance to direct combustion exhaust gases from the combustion chamber into the bath of molten metal, and an injection blower to force the combustion exhaust gases into the bath of molten metal at high pressure so as to distribute the combustion exhaust gases as bubbles in the bath of molten metal, wherein molten metal within the bath of molten metal acts as a catalyst, reacts with the combustion exhaust gases, and breaks down the combustion exhaust gases into constituent parts, consumes at least a portion of the constituent parts, and expels a reacted exhaust, wherein the reacted exhaust is primarily carbon dioxide; a flow controller to receive the reacted exhaust from the molten metal reactor and to regulate flow of the reacted exhaust between an exhaust stack and a recirculating path to the combustion chamber; and a flow mixer to receive the reacted exhaust from the recirculating path, mix the reacted exhaust and oxygen, and provide the mix to the combustion chamber.
