Abstract
First and second feed streams are injected into a molten bath, thereby creating first and second jets. The first and second jets combine to form a substantially planar, or fan jet, region within the molten bath. The first and second feed streams can include a variety of materials, such as oxidant, reducing agents, or waste materials, such as organic waste. In addition, the feed streams can include distinct reactants that are combined in the fan jet region for reaction with each other or with one or more components of the molten bath.
Claims16
A method for injecting feed streams into a molten bath, comprising the steps of:
- a) injecting a first feed stream through a first conduit into the molten bath, creating a first jet;
- and
- b) injecting a second feed stream through a second conduit into the molten bath, creating a second jet, said second conduit being positioned to cause said first and second jets to combine to form a fan jet region within said molten bath.
