Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Gewinnung von Phosphor durch Phosphatentfrachtung eines phosphorhaltigen organischen Substratmaterials mit integrierter Nutzung von Pyrolysekoks, umfassend die Verfahrensschritte: a) eine Pyrolyse des Substratmaterials mit oder ohne Katalysator, bei dem das Substratmaterial unter Inert- oder Reaktionsgasbedingungen zu Kohlenwasserstoffen, Brenngas und Koks als Pyrolyseprodukte umgesetzt wird; b) zumindest teilweise Abtrennung des bei der Pyrolyse anfallenden Kokses mit anschließender Phosphatentfrachtung des Kokses und Phosphatgewinnung; c) zumindest teilweise Einbindung oder Rückführung des bei der Pyrolyse anfallenden Kokses in eine Aufbereitungsstufe des Substratmaterials vor dessen Pyrolyse, so dass ein Kohlenstoffkreislauf in den Gesamtprozess der Phosphatentfrachtung und Phosphatgewinnung integriert ist. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren können vor allem biogene Abfälle in sauerstoffarme oder sauerstofffreie Kohlenwasserstoffe und Phosphat umgewandelt werden. Phosphat kann dabei mit üblichen Verfahren entweder aus dem Koks oder dessen Asche gewonnen werden.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a carbonization method that can efficiently perform a carbonization processing using dry-distillation of high moisture biomass without adding a major improvement to an existing carbonization apparatus. The carbonization method of the present invention in which three processes are performed continuously for a predetermined period which including: a first process of obtaining low moisture biomass-origin carbonization fuel and dry-distilled gas by thermally decomposing low moisture biomass in a carbonization oven; a second process of obtaining dried biomass by drying high moisture biomass in a drying machine using high-temperature gas obtained by secondary combustion of the dry-distilled gas obtained in the first process; and a third process of storing the dried biomass obtained in the second process, and thereafter three processes are performed continuously for a predetermined period which includes: a fourth process of obtaining high moisture biomass origin-carbonization fuel and dry-distilled gas by thermally decomposing the stored dried biomass in the same carbonization oven as the one used in the first process; a fifth process of obtaining dried biomass by drying high moisture biomass in the drying machine using high-temperature gas obtained by secondary combustion of the dry-distilled gas obtained in the fourth process; and a sixth process of storing the dried biomass obtained in the fifth process.

Abstract:
A process for separating heavy metals from phosphoric starting material comprises the following steps: (i) heating the starting material to a temperature of 600 to 1.200° C. in a first reactor (1) and withdrawing combustion gas; (ii) using the combustion gas of step (i) to preheat an alkaline source; and (iii) transferring the heated starting material of step (i) and the heated alkaline source of step (ii) to a second reactor (20), adding an elemental carbon source, heating to a temperature of 700 to 1.100° C. and withdrawing process gas and a product stream.
Abstract:
Hydrothermal carbonization allows the production of charcoal from biomass. However, this biomass can at the beginning of the carbonization process contain constituents which are not suitable for carbonization. Apart from large contaminants such as broken glass, etc., these constituents are, in particular, sand and clay, with the clay not being able to be removed by simple filtration methods because of its fineness. The invention therefore provides for process water to be taken from the reaction space and subjected to purification in a sedimentation filter after the carbonization reaction has commenced and the clay is no longer held in the biomass. The process water is then sprayed back into the reaction space in order to keep the biomass/process water mixture in motion and avoid sedimentation of the clay at the bottom of the reaction space.
Abstract:
A primary air flow amount becomes a minimum primary air flow amount when an incineration amount Br is equal to or lower than 75%. In a case of exceeding the minimum primary air flow amount, a circulation unit conducts a restrained combustion in which a fuel consumption amount Fr of a sludge per unit incineration amount is maintained at a constant value and a primary air ratio m1 is lower than one, a post-combustion unit conducts a first multi-layer incineration process B1 of feeding a secondary air and a tertiary air to conduct a perfect combustion, in a case of the minimum primary air flow amount, a second multi-layer incineration process B2 is configured to be conducted in which a fuel consumption amount Fr is of a value that is identical to that of the first multi-layer incineration process B1, the primary air ratio m1 is increased gradually to a value of a total air ratio m for the entire circulating-type multi-layer furnace along with a decrease in the incineration amount Br of the sludge per unit time, and a secondary air ratio m2 and a tertiary air ratio m3 are decreased gradually to a value of zero.
Abstract:
A process for the treatment of biomass with a relatively high water and salt content such as agricultural or forestry residues comprises: (a) mechanically pre-treating wet biomass; (b) extracting the pre-treated biomass with water at a temperature between 40 and 160 o C at a pressure which keeps water substantially liquid; (c) dewatering the heated biomass to produce a dewatered biomass and an aqueous effluent; (d) optionally heating the dewatered biomass at a temperature above 160 o C; (e) drying, before or after step (d), and compacting the heat-treated biomass. The treated biomass can be used as a solid fuel. The aqueous effluent is subjected to anaerobic treatment, to produce biogas an/or alcohols.
