Abstract

A process for the recovery of chemical values from waste solids, wherein shredded waste solids are intermixed with hot char and a carrier gas in turbulent flow and passed through a pyrolysis zone under turbulent conditions at a temperature ranging from about 300.degree. F. to about 2000.degree. F., with zone residence time of under 10 seconds, with subsequent segregation and recovery of volatilized organic chemical values, char and inorganic chemical values therefrom.
