apparatus and process for incinerating waste and reclaiming resources , particularly ferrous metals , galss , and aluminum , in separate output streams . the incinerator itself can use combustion draft air as a medium for separating lighter and heavier fractions of the burned material in the incinerator . the combustion zone of the incinerator is defined by a foraminated cylindrical wall which is rotated to distribute the incinerating materials and separate burned waste from the combustion zone . the incinerator can be cooled by a eutectic liquid metal coolant . the use of this coolant allows the heat exhange surfaces of the incinerator to be quite thin for greater economy , as such fluids , particularly a eutectic mixture of sodium and potassium , do not vaporize at atmospheric pressure over a wide working temperature also disclosed , as is improved means for separating aluminum rich and glass rich fractions from the heavier fraction of burned waste separated in the incinerator .
