Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to an organic material decomposition and treatment method, and in particular to an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force in which an organic material is decomposed without producing a harmful material when a petroleum industry organic material and a life waste of an organic material are decomposed and treated.

2. Description of the Background Art

[0002] The use of a disposable type product or a packing material recently increases, so that a lot of organic material waste is produced for thereby devastating the environments. As a life standard is enhanced and the industry is advanced, the amount of waste increases more and more, and the kinds of the wastes are diversified. However, the amount of the wastes does not decrease despite of the government regulations.

[0003] The organic materials have been treated by a burying method, a burning method or a recycling method. Among the above methods, in Korea, the burying method is most used. The burying method has been preferably used in Korea as well as US, but it is impossible to recycle the wastes. In a certain nation such as Korea having a small area, the burying method may not be used permanently.

[0004] In order to resolve the above problems, on January 2005 the Korean government ordered not to bury food wastes except for the remnants produced after the wastes are burned or composted since January 2005. The organic materials may be treated only by the burning and recycling methods.

[0005] However, the recycling method has a poor result in view of economy. In addition, a secondary pollutant may be produced during the recycling process, by which the advantages of the recycling method may decrease.

[0006] In the case of the burning method, a lot of harmful materials such as dioxin, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, hydrogen fluorine, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, nitric compounds, sulfate compounds, etc. may be produced due to an imperfect combustion and may become a factor for destroying environments and increasing earth warming phenomenon. So, in order to satisfy the discharge level in compliance with the environment standard, a complicated and expensive dust collection facility or a high temperature combustion apparatus may be installed, so that the total cost increases, and it is not easy to actually apply to the industry.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force in which an organic material may be efficiently decomposed without a harmful material is produced or discharged.

[0008] To achieve the above object, there is provided an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force, comprising a step for inputting an organic material into a container body and sealing the container body; a step for drying the organic material by an initial heating; a step for guiding the magnetic force into the interior of the container body; a step for decomposing the organic material by the guided magnetic force; a step for generating a decomposition heat as the organic material is decomposed; a step for carbonizing the organic material by the decomposition heat; and a step for producing a waste ashes from the organic material using the decomposition and carbonizing processes.

[0009] The magnetic force is guided by the magnets installed in such a manner that a N-pole and a S-pole are opposite to each other.

[0010] The magnets have intensities of 5000 through 7000 Gauss.

[0011] The smoke generated as the organic material is carbonized is discharged to the outside through an exhaust pipe installed in the container body.

[0012] There is further provided a dust collection step for liquefying the smoke generated as the organic material is carbonized by spraying water onto the smoke before it is discharged to the outside of the container body.

[0013] When a certain organic material is heated up to a very high temperature, the compositions of the same are thermally decomposed. The generated heat energy allows the chemical compounds of the organic material to be changed to gas. The heat decomposition process is generally used so as to decompose and chemically change the organic material.

[0014] In the organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to the present invention, the organic material is thermally decomposed and carbonized using a magnetic force, not by the combustion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Figure 1 is a schematic view illustrating a decomposition treatment process of an organic material of an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic view illustrating a state that an organic material is treated based on an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force of Figures 1, and Figure 3 is a schematic view illustrating a decomposition treatment process of an organic material of an organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to another embodiment of the present invention. The organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to the present invention comprises an organic material input and container body sealing step S100, an initial heating and organic material drying step S200, a magnetic force guiding step S300, an organic material decomposition step S400, a decomposition heat generation step S500, an organic material carbonization step S600, and a waste material (ashes) production step S700.

[0018] First, a certain organic material is inputted into the container body, and the container body is sealed in a step S100. Here, the organic material is prevented from being burned by removing an external air, namely, oxygen in such a manner that the container body is sealed after the organic material is inputted. In the case that the organic material is inputted, a small amount of external air (oxygen) may be inputted into the interior of the container body or part of the air may be inputted into the organic material. In this case, an inputted amount of air may be small enough to be neglected so that a visual combustion may not be considered. A lid is installed at an inlet of the container body so as to seal the container body. When a certain inlet is installed so that an external air is prevented from being inputted into the container body, it is possible to input an organic material at a constant rate without an input of an external air even in a step in which an organic material is decomposed in the interior of the container body.

[0019] Next, the interior of the container body is dried in a step S200. Since the organic material inputted in the interior of the container body has moisture, it is needed to dry the organic material for an efficient decomposition. Here, the interior of the container body may be heated using an electric rod and may be dried. Heating is performed so that the moisture contained in the organic material is substantially removed.

[0020] Next, magnetic force is induced toward the interior of the container body in a step S300. The container body is dried in a step S200, so that the interior of the container body does not contain air (oxygen), and the inputted organic material is dried. Here, a magnetic force generation apparatus is driven for thereby inducing g a magnetic force generated by the magnets installed at both sides of the container body toward the interior of the container body. The magnets are preferably installed so that the N-pole and S-pole are opposite to each other at both sides of the container body. It is possible to generate more intensive magnetic force so that the N-pole and the S-pole are installed opposite to each other. The magnets are made of neodymium permanent magnets and preferably have the intensity of 5000 through 7000 Gauss. The above features are not limited thereto.

[0021] It is needed to adjust the intensity of the magnetic force based on the kinds of the organic materials inputted into the interior of the container body or the size of the container body. So, the number of the needed magnets is determined based on the kinds of the organic material, which will be treated, or the size (volume) of the container body. For example, in the case that the volume is 0.5m³, four magnets are respectively installed at both sides of the container body, namely, eight magnets are totally installed. In the case that the volume is 1.0m³, six magnets are installed at both sides of the container body, namely, twelve magnets are totally installed. In the case that the volume is 1.5m³, ten magnets are installed at both sides of the container body, namely, twenty magnets are totally installed. The bigger the volume, the more number the magnetic force generation apparatuses. The container body is installed to orient the south, so that the magnets may produce the magnetic force more efficiently with the effects of the earth magnetic field.

[0022] Next, the organic material is decomposed in a step S400. Namely, when the magnetic force is applied toward the interior of the container body, the organic material inputted into the interior of the container body reacts with respect to the magnetic field and starts decomposing. Namely, the decomposition is performed based on the movements of the magnetic waves. Here, the organic material is decomposed for thereby generating a decomposition heat in a step S500. The decomposition heat allows the organic material to carbonize in a step S600. In the present invention, an external energy source is not needed. The organic material is non-burned and carbonic-crystallized as compared to the burning apparatus (carbon furnace, low temperature combustion, etc) which uses other energy sources. The waste ashes are produced as the organic material is decomposed by a magnetic force, and the organic material is carbonized by the decomposition heat in a step S700. As the waste ashes are discharged to the outside, the process of the organic material is finished in a step S800.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, the decomposition processes of the organic material (step S400 through S600) are performed while forming multiple layers. Namely, when the organic material, which was processed with the decomposition step, allows the waste ashes layer to form. In addition, a decomposition treatment layer, in which the decomposition is being performed, is formed on the upper side of the waste ashes layer. 8 through 10 hours after the organic material is inputted, the decomposition is finished. In the case that the organic material is continuously inputted during the process of the organic material decomposition, a pretreatment layer is formed on the upper side of the decomposition treatment layer by the organic material inputted. When the treatment of the decomposition treatment layer is finished, ashes are produced for thereby forming the waste ashes layer. The decomposition treatment of the organic material, which formed the pretreatment layer, starts. As the organic material is continuously inputted, the above-described processes are repeatedly performed. When the decomposition treatment is finished, the waste ashes may be discharged through an outlet of the container body, and the waste ashes may be used as quality fertilizer or soil improving materials.

[0024] While the organic material being carbonized by the decomposition heat, smoke is generated in a step S620. The smoke is discharged to the outside in a step S630. At this time, an exhaust pipe is installed at the container body for allowing the smoke to be easily discharged to the outside. In addition, a filter is preferably installed for a non-harmful process and a smell removal process.

[0025] According to the organic material decomposition treatment method using a magnetic force of the present invention, a certain harmful gas is never produced. Only a small amount of visual smoke and smell is generated. As shown in Figure 3, it is preferred to provide a dust collection step (S640 through S670) for liquefying the smoke by directly spraying water onto the smoke before the smoke generated in the carbonization step S600 of the organic material is discharged to the outside. Namely, when water is sprayed while smoke is being discharged to the outside in a step S640, the smoke is liquefied into water in a step S650. The produced water is discharged to the outside in a step S670. At this time, since a very small amount of smoke is discharged to the outside in a step S660, it is possible to effectively prevent the environment pollution.

[0026] As described above, the organic material decomposition and treatment method using a magnetic force according to the present invention has the following advantages.

[0027] First, since the organic materials are decomposed by a magnetic force in a sealed state with not air, not by a burning method, a harmful material such as dioxin or CO₂ does not occur. The organic materials are treated with no pollution.

[0028] Second, since the organic material is continuously decomposed and treated by the decomposition heat which produces during the decomposition of the organic material, a motor or a burner is not needed, so that the total cost decreases.

[0029] Third, since the remnants collected after the decomposition of the organic material decrease by 1/300 through 1/200 as compared to the actual volume, the treatment work is easy. The remnants may be used for quality fertilizer or soil improving materials.

[0030] Fourth, since smoke generated during the decomposition and treatment of the organic material is liquefied by spraying water, it is possible to prevent the smoke from being discharged to the outside.

[0031] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
