The present invention relates to a process for treating hydrocarbon wastes, in particular rolling scale slurries and / or abrasive slurries, wherein the wastes are preferably heated by an indirect heat supply in a moving dryer, With other volatile components, in particular H 2 O. In this process, hydrocarbons are decomposed in a specific manner in low temperature dryers, ie hydrocarbons are decomposed by chemical means and / or irradiation means, by which the low volatile hydrocarbons are converted into high volatile hydrocarbons, preferably high molecular weight hydrocarbons. It decomposes into low molecular weight hydrocarbons, which are at least partially discharged by inhalation from the vessel, optionally with other volatiles, in particular H 2 O.n n n The invention also relates to an apparatus for treating hydrocarbon waste. |
