摘要:
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and compositions for preparing a solid biomass for fast pyrolysis. The method includes contacting the solid biomass with an inorganic material present in an effective amount for increasing fast pyrolysis yield of an organic liquid product (e.g., bio-oil). In various embodiments, the inorganic material is selected from the group consisting of aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of improving a heavy hydrocarbon, such as bitumen, to a lighter more fluid product and, more specifically, to a final hydrocarbon product that is refinery-ready and meets pipeline transport criteria without the addition of diluent. A solid asphaltene by-product is created for easy handling and further processing. The invention is targeted to enhance Canadian bitumen, but has general application in improving any heavy hydrocarbon. The process comprises: (a) pre-heating a process fluid in a heater to a designed temperature; (b) moving the pre-heated process fluid to a reactor, and optimally converting asphaltenes in the process fluid within the reactor to produce a stream of thermally affected asphaltene-nch fraction( s), and a stream of non-condensible vapour and lighter liquid hydrocarbon(s); (c) deasphalting the thermally affected asphaltene-nch stream with a solvent extraction process into a stream of heavy deasphalted oil (DAO) and a second stream containing concentrated asphaltene; (d) separating dry thermally affected asphaltene solids from the second stream in a separation unit, recovering the process solvent; (e) a produced refinery feedstock comprising at least one of the produced streams.

The present invention is related to the method of biomass fuel production from carbonaceous feedstock, including drying of materials in drying chamber, pyrolysis of materials in pyrolysis chamber, bio oil separation from pyrolysis gas and vapor, removal of gas and vapor mixture of volatile combustion products, combustion of resin-free gas and vapor in combustion chamber with air supply, unloading of pyrolyzed materials (pyrocarbon) whereas the pyrolysis is performed in pyrolysis chamber which rotates horizontally around its longitudinal axis partially filled up by grinding balls.
摘要:
This invention relates to the modification of bitumen by polymeric materials used particularly for the preparation of asphalt mixtures with enhanced mechanical properties, wherein the polymeric materials are selected from additives capable of forming a supramolecular assembly. The modified bitumen may be used for the fabrication of asphalts mixtures with mineral aggregates used in construction or maintenance of sidewalks, roads, highways, parking lots or airport runaways and service roads and any other rolling surfaces.
