Abstract

A process and apparatus for treating and disposing of solid pollutants contained in liquids, in particular paint residues in water and/or solvents. The apparatus includes a power-driven heat-resistant surface formed by a turntable, a feed funnel for feeding liquid and/or paste containing solids onto the heat-resistant surface of the support table, a burner mounted underneath the support table for heating the heat-resistant surface of the support table, extracting ducts including a fan for removing the gases and vapors generated during the heat treatment of the liquid and/or paste containing solids, and removing blades for removing dried solids which remain on said heat-resistant support surface. All of the aforedescribed mechanisms and ducts can be mounted in a heat insulating housing.
