BIOCOKE PRODUCING APPARATUS AND PROCESS

摘要

An apparatus and process for producing biocoke usable as a substitute fuel for coal coke from biomass as a raw material. Biomass raw material is pulverized and charged in a reaction vessel. In the reaction vessel, heating is carried out to the temperature range in which the hemicellulose of the biomass raw material is pyrolyzed so as to exhibit bonding effects. In the state of the heating, pressurization is carried out to the pressure range in which the lignin of the biomass pulverizate exhibits a thermal curing reaction. After cooling while maintaining the state of the pressurization, the contents are discharged. Multiple reaction vessels are disposed circularly, and while rotating the multiple reaction vessels along the circumference of the circle, the above charging, heating, pressurization, cooling and discharge are carried out before the full circle of the reaction vessels.
