    摘要: In this disclosure, a process for producing biomass pellets and sugars from cellulosic biomass is provided, comprising: extracting the feedstock with steam and/or hot water and optionally with an acid catalyst, to produce cellulose-rich solids and an extract liquor containing hemicellulosic oligomers and lignin; separating the cellulose-rich solids from the extract liquor; filtering the extract liquor to remove at least some of the lignin, thereby generating a filter permeate comprising cleaned extract liquor containing the hemicellulosic oligomers and a filter retentate comprising a lignin-rich stream; hydrolyzing the hemicellulosic oligomers in the cleaned extract liquor with an acid or enzymes, to generate hemicellulosic monomers which are recovered; and pelletizing the cellulose-rich solids to form biomass pellets, wherein the pelletizing utilizes at least some of the lignin-rich stream as a binder or binder component.

    摘要: A method of calcining green petroleum coke which includes separating the green coke having a particle size of between 0.1 mm and 50 mm into undersized and oversized fractions, pelletizing the undersized fraction with a binder to form pelletized coke, combining the oversized fraction and the pelletized coke to form a feed mixture, and calcining the feed mixture to form calcined coke. The method includes the addition of a pulverization step wherein all the green coke is pulverized before pelletization and the pellets are then calcined to produce a pelletized calcined coke product.

    摘要: Biofuel composition comprising waste coffee grounds (WCG). It is preferably solid, formed as briquettes, pucks or pellets, the pellets being suitable for combustion in a biomass boiler. Preferably it comprises at least 50% wt WCG, even more preferably at least 75%. At least half of this quantity is preferably made up of waste coffee grounds from the manufacture of instant coffee (IWCG). The biofuel may additionally contain a fibrous filler (sawdust, coffee bean husks), preferably less than 50% wt, and a binding agent (lignosulphonate, glycerol), preferably up to 10% wt. Other possible ingredients are oxidisers like sodium / potassium nitrate and processing agents like starch (also a binder). The biofuel preferably has a durability of at least 60% and a net calorific value of 16-24 MJ/kg. A method of producing such biofuel is also claimed, by compressing suitable feedstock into pellets etc. The WCG may be dried to a moisture content of 6-20%. Coffee oil is preferably extracted therefrom, then the WCG are mixed with other ingredients and the feedstock may be conditioned through treatment with steam, then pressed / extruded through a die having boreholes into pellets which are further cooled. A relevant apparatus is also claimed.

    摘要: A carbonaceous compact is provided by the present disclosure that includes a body having a partially or fully carbonaceous biomass composition and an adhesive additive. The adhesive additive includes a starch and a hydroxide. The porous nature of the carbonaceous material provides means for nutrient retention or filtering means. Carbon is activated through chemical or thermal reaction from pyrolyzed wood/nut. A method of processing the carbonaceous compact is also provided that comprises combining a composition of combustible biomass materials, drying the composition, adding the adhesive additive, adding any further additivies, such as silica and beneficial bacteria. The composite biomass is processed into a shapeform, and then the shapeform is partitioned into individual pieces that are compatible with existing handling methods. In one form the processing is formed at about 500°C so that biochar is formed, while processing above 518°C - 572°C carbon is formed with subsequent activation.
