Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a kiln  100  for use in the production of hydrocarbon fuels from plastics. The kiln  100  comprises a scrubber  200  in fluid communication with a reaction chamber  130 , the scrubber  200  being configured to condense hydrocarbons in the reaction chamber gas product stream  501  above a predetermined upper hydrocarbon range for returning to the reaction chamber  130  for further heating in the absence of oxygen. Also disclosed herein is a method of converting waste plastics to a commercially-useful form by way of diesel or the like. The method comprises treating a crude fuel produced from plastics in a pyrolytic process with a first extraction step comprising counterflow liquid-liquid extraction, and a second extraction step comprising counterflow extraction of solvents from the first extraction step.

Claim (Index 46):
The method according to  claim 45 , wherein the second extraction step comprises changing the polarity of the resultant contaminated extraction solvent(s), thereby causing the resultant contaminated extraction solvent(s) to reject the extracted one or more impurities; and removing the rejected one or more impurities, thereby resulting in decontaminated extraction solvent(s).
