Multistage thermolysis method for safe and efficient conversion of e-waste materials

A Clean Fuel Gas source and a Char source, wherein a process for producing the Clean Fuel Gas source and the Char source comprises:

• inputting an electric and electronic waste source into a thermolysis system to generate the Clean Fuel Gas source and the Char source,
• wherein the thermolysis system comprises at least two reactors, an oil/water separator, an oil/tar cracker, and at least two gas scrubbers;
• wherein the reactors have a process temperature of about 300° C.−800° C. and generate tars and oils;
• wherein all of the oils and tars are separated in the oil/water separator and at least two gas scrubbers, thereafter cracked in the oil/tar cracker, and sent back to the secondary reactor to generate the Clean Fuel Gas source;
• and
• wherein the Clean Fuel Gas source and the Char source are substantially-free of halogenated organic compounds and do not contain oils and/or tars.
