Abstract
A kind of new biofuel shaped into bio-based fuel clumps and particles are made from the organic materials such as wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay, bran, wheat bran and waste paper. They are compressed to 1/20 - 1/30 of their original volumes, after been crushed, mixed, dried and pressurized. The shaped clumps or particles combustion value is greatly increased, equivalent to the value of standard coal combustion (7000 Kcal) of 50-70%.
With extended burning time, there are many other added excellent features, such as easier to be stored or transported, not easy to catch fire and to decay. Therefore, this kind of bio-fuel will become new bio-energy that need to be vigorously developed in future.

Description
Description Field of Technology This patent involves a kind of compressing biofuel.
Technical Background The earth provides human beings with endless variety of plants which grow year after year and provide the necessities for human lives and a part of these substances have been used as fuels for human beings. However, with the extensive development of coal, oil and natural gas, man has become estranged from these kinds of fuels or the products of these fuels -- biofuels. Since the fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, which are non-renewable resources, are facing the increasingly expensive cost, strict environmental restrictions, and massive exhaustion, man is in urgent need of finding alternative resources for fuels. Therefore, turning back to the use of renewable fuels or biofuels becomes a necessary choice for man.
At present, it is difficult to use biological raw materials directly as fuel mainly because wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay, bran, wheat bran and waste paper have many problems such as relatively low fuel value, short burning time, need of large storage space, easy to be perishable and cause fire as well as high transportation cost. This patent is put forward to solve the problems inherent in the use of bio-based fuel products, especially the low fuel value and short burning time.
Summary of the Invention The application for this utility model patent aims to solve some problems of the bio-based fuels products we referred above, such as the low fuel value, short burning time, need of large storage space and high transportation cost, by turning the biological raw materials into biofuels by high-temperature and high-pressure compresses;
1. According to the claims, this kind of biofuel are entirely compressed and produced from natural plants or natural plant products which are discarded as wastes.
These plants mainly include the wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay, bran, wheat bran and waste paper. Currently, only a small part of these natural plant wastes have been reused, and most of them are disposed as wastes or garbage. This patent is to promote the efficient utilization of these natural plants and natural plant products effectively.

1. According to the claims, this kind of biofuel are entirely compressed and produced from natural plants or natural plant products which are discarded as wastes.
These plants mainly include the wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay, bran, wheat bran and waste paper. Currently, only a small part of these natural plant wastes have been reused, and most of them are disposed as wastes or garbage. This patent is to promote the efficient utilization of these natural plants and natural plant products effectively.
2. According to the claims, one or several kinds of natural plants or natural plant products, such as the wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay and waste paper, should be shattered into 1-5 mm fragments in order to facilitate the mixing and compression molding in subsequent steps.
3. According to the claims, these fragments of natural plants or natural plant products should be put into specific containers and mixed with water and binders in a certain proportion. The water and binders should be uniformly distributed so as to ensure the uniformity of each composition of the compressed clumps or particles. The ratio of organic materials to water and binders is: 80-85% of organic material, 14-18%
of water and 2-5% of binders. The reason why water is added is that water contributes to the intensive mixing of organic materials and binders in the compression process, so that the clumps or particles will become easier to shape. The binder is added to make the shaped clumps or particles not easy to be scattered and fragmented.

The binder is added to make the shaped clumps or particles not easy to be scattered and fragmented.
4. According to the claims, these organic materials should be heated to 120-degrees in the mixing process with the purpose of softening the materials enough during the compression process so that the materials can be compressed more tightly, thereby improving the fuel value of clumps or particles. The heating temperature can be adjusted based on the nature of organic materials.
5. According to the claims, the mixture of organic materials should be put into forming machines to be compressed into clumps or particles as needed (Figure).
The compression ratio is 20-30 times the volume of raw organic materials. Namely, the organic materials such as wheat straws, corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, rice straws, reed sticks, wood dusts, wood blocks, branches, leaves, shells, pomace, bagasse, sunflower stalks, hay, bran, wheat bran and waste paper should be compressed to 1/20 - 1/30 of their original volumes. The shaped clumps or particles can be used after being dried in the air or by heating.

The shaped clumps or particles can be used after being dried in the air or by heating.
6. After the high temperature compression, the fuel value of these organic materials greatly increase and their calorific value can be up to 3200-5000 kcals, equivalent to the fuel value of coke oven gas (4000 kcals) and 50-70% of the fuel value of standard coal (7000 kcals). Besides, in addition to the longer burning time, they are easier to be stored and transported, as well as not easy to catch fire and decay.
Therefore, they will become a kind of energy resources that need to be vigorously developed in future.
