Process for obtaining energy from organic-containing waste materials

A process for energy recovery from organics-containing waste materials (1), characterized in that

• a) the organics-containing waste materials (1) in pre-comminuted form are subjected to a measurement for identifying the constituents and also to determination of the ratio of the fraction of carbonaceous material to the fraction of silicatic material, in order to ensure, by admixing carbonaceous and/or silicatic material (3) where appropriate, that the ratio of carbonaceous to silicatic material is about 90% to about 10% in the waste materials for further processing,
• b) as the process continues, there is ongoing measurement of the fractions (5) of carbonaceous material and silicatic material,
• c) the organics-containing waste materials (1) are further comminuted (2) and mixed (4a) with additional tectosilicate-containing materials (3), with continued comminution (4b) down into the μ range,
• d) compacting (6a) of the comminuted waste material mixture is carried out, with addition of phyllosilicates (7a), heating (6b) of the mixture, and separation (6c) thereof into individual solid, liquid, and gaseous phases under reduced pressure, after which the solids which remain are mixed (8a) with further-added phyllosilicates (7b) and are pelletized (8b),
• e) the pellets produced are subjected to pyrolysis (9), and
• f) the gaseous substances obtained in this procedure are supplied to a tank (10) and/or to a combined heat and power process (11), while the solids recovered undergo separation (12) of silicatic from carbonaceous materials, with the carbonaceous materials recovered therefrom being stored as end product (13).
