LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS FERMENTATION PROCESS CO-PRODUCT FUEL FOR CEMENT KILN

摘要

A fuel made from co-products derived from a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process is used to fuel a cement production process. Filter cake and syrup co-products are mixed and dried, then burned in a cement kiln to create the temperatures needed for cement production.
