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 48):
The method according to  claim 46 , wherein the polarity of the resultant contaminated extraction solvent(s) is changed by addition of one or more polar compounds thereto; and wherein the polarity of the decontaminated extraction solvent(s) is reversed by distilling the one or more polar compounds therefrom to produce purified extraction solvent(s) for reuse in the first extraction step.
