CATALYTIC CELLULIGNIN FUEL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To preferably develop a new fuel satisfying basic requirements of combustion and overcoming technical defects of a well-known fuel from biomass since a conventional combustion process exhibits complexity and operating disadvantage.SOLUTION: A catalytic cellulignin fuel is obtained by a biomass pre-hydrolysis process and is composed of cellulose and globulized lignin with a specific surface of about 1.5-2.5 m/g. The cellulignin fuel may be ground down to particles smaller than 250 μm and has a combustion heat value that can reach up to 18-20 MJ/kg and an ignition time equal to or shorter than 20 ms (0.02s).
