VERFAHREN ZUR VERBRENNUNG VON ALUMINIUM UND SYSTEM DAFÜR

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method of combusting aluminium comprising i) feeding aluminium wire (1 1 ) to a substantially oxygen-free furnace (2) comprising a. a first low-temperature section in communication with b. a second high-temperature section ii) forming aluminium particles with an average particle size ranging from 1 μιη to 200 μιη from said aluminium wire (1 1 ) in said first section iii) feeding water and/or steam to said first and/or second section to provide an oxidizer for oxidizing said aluminium particles in the second section iv) conveying aluminium particles from the first section to the second section v) oxidizing said aluminium particles in the presence of steam in said second section. The invention also relates to the use of the energy obtained from the system, for example for powering underwater vehicles.
