Description
Attorney PCT/US2014/028298 5 COMPOSITE CARBONACEOUS FUEL COMPACT
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to bio-char and carbon from biomass sources and methods of processing thereof. The present disclosure also relates to carbonaceous sources, and in particular, resources that do not depend on coal tar and that reduce emissions of "greenhouse gas" carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Finally, the present disclosure relates to manufacturing processes for creating carbonaceous biomass into biochar or carbon.

The present disclosure also relates to carbonaceous sources, and in particular, resources that do not depend on coal tar and that reduce emissions of "greenhouse gas" carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Finally, the present disclosure relates to manufacturing processes for creating carbonaceous biomass into biochar or carbon.
[0002] Most carbon produced for filtering applications is made from coal tar.
Wood is not used in aqueous filtering applications due to iron content. With the recent emphasis on renewable energy sources, efforts have been made in the art to create so-called "biomass"
materials, in which a bio-char and carbon combination of nutshell and waste are combined and processed to create an energy resource to take the place of, or be combined with, for example, coal. Biochar can sequester carbon dioxide. Bio-char is produced from any biomass source through low temperature carbonization termed "pyrolysis" or "low temperature roasting" at around 500 C, while carbon is produced by pyrolysis or high temperature roasting above 518 C to 572 C with subsequent activation.

Bio-char is produced from any biomass source through low temperature carbonization termed "pyrolysis" or "low temperature roasting" at around 500 C, while carbon is produced by pyrolysis or high temperature roasting above 518 C to 572 C with subsequent activation.
[0003] With the recent emphasis on Green" sources, efforts have been made in the art to create so-called "biomass" materials, in which a combustible combination of waste, such as wood chips or sawdust, along with certain additives, are combined and processed to create a carbonaceous resource that can take the place of coal tar. These devices use compression to force wood particles through metal dies or molds. In some machines, pressure is applied discontinuously by the action of a piston on material packed into a cylinder. The equipment may have a mechanical coupling and fly wheel or utilize hydraulic action on the piston.
[0004] Known biomass materials have included natural lignins of the constituent materials in order to bind the materials together during the manufacturing process, in order to create a burnable mass. Natural lignins, for example from various wood sources, are complex natural polymers resulting from oxidative coupling of, primarily, 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoids. Additionally, other materials such as thermoplastic resins have been added in the manufacturing process to bind the constituent materials together.
[0005] However, these natural lignins and thermoplastic binders are carbonized resulting in pellets that are not durable for transport or other processing operations, especially using known manufacturing techniques such as those set forth above. As a result, various biomass forms suffer from chronic crumbling and dust generation during production and downstream handling. Significant amounts of dust can become an explosive issue, and Attorney PCT/US2014/0282985 thus current binders in the art may ultimately cause safety hazards. As a further disadvantage of known binders, product uniformity is an issue, with irregular lengths and ragged cuts, which further add to the dust problem. As with other materials, such as switchgrass, forest litter, paper waste, cane waste, and the like, product quality is reduced, and the dust issue often becomes more aggravated. Additionally, some of the known binders generate gases during the burning process that are environmentally undesirable, and in fact, some of the binders are not completely combusted during the burning process.
Therefore, current manufacturing processes, and the materials used therein, create carbonaceous forms that are not durable and that cause issues in their manufacture and downstream handling.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0021]
According to the principles of the present disclosure, a carbonaceous compact is provided that comprises a body, which may be in any shape or form, such as the exemplary forms shown in FIG. 1. As indicated, the body 10 may be in the form of a pellet, a briquette, or a puck. A pellet may be defined by a having a size on the order of about 4.0 to 7.6 mm. Alternatively, a typical briquette may have a length and width of about 101.6 mm (4 inches) and 76.2 mm (3 inches), respectively. Alternatively, a puck may have a diameter between about 25.4 mm (1 inch) and 100.8 mm (4 inches). It should be understood that these geometric forms are merely exemplary and thus they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

As indicated, the body 10 may be in the form of a pellet, a briquette, or a puck. A pellet may be defined by a having a size on the order of about 4.0 to 7.6 mm. Alternatively, a typical briquette may have a length and width of about 101.6 mm (4 inches) and 76.2 mm (3 inches), respectively. Alternatively, a puck may have a diameter between about 25.4 mm (1 inch) and 100.8 mm (4 inches). It should be understood that these geometric forms are merely exemplary and thus they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.
[0022] The body 10 comprises a carbonaceous biomass composition that can essentially be any biomass materials, or combination of biomass materials, and/or their use waste. By way of example, these materials may include saw dust, cardboard and chipboard, grass, switchgrass, energy crops, hay, tree bark, sweetgum seed pods, pinecones, newsprint, wheat straw, duckweed, pine needles, mixed leaves, yard waste, agricultural waste, cotton waste, grape and wine offal, corn stover, crop stovers, peat, tobacco waste, tea waste, coffee waste, food processing waste, food packaging waste, nut meats and shells, chestnut hulls, pecan shells, paper waste, pallets, egg cartons, animal waste, livestock waste, mammal waste, and bone.
[0023]
Advantageously, the carbonaceous compact is highly durable do to its inventive adhesive additive. Generally, the carbonaceous compact uses a Stein Hall type adhesive made from starch, or any other suitable material to replace the natural lignins as set forth above. In a Stein Hall adhesive, about 5% to 20% of the total starch content is gelatinized into a high viscosity paste called primary starch. The remainder of the starch (about 80% to 90%) stays ungelatinized and is called secondary starch. The starch may be one produced from wheat, oats, rice, corn, wheat middling, wheat waste or even wood and the like, but containing a gelatinized fraction that upon substantial drying will tightly bond the biomass composition.

[0024]
Additionally, the adhesive additive includes a hydroxide. The hydroxide may be, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, alkaline earth hydroxides, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, and caustic soda, among others. The synergistic combination of starch and hydroxide provide a highly durable carbonaceous compact, in which any number of constituent biomass materials may be used, without relying on any natural lignins or other undesirable binders.

The synergistic combination of starch and hydroxide provide a highly durable carbonaceous compact, in which any number of constituent biomass materials may be used, without relying on any natural lignins or other undesirable binders.
[0025] In one form, the innovative adhesive is provided to bind the constituent biomass composition and also to form a substantially continuous shell around the exterior portion of the fuel compact. With this shell, the carbonaceous compact according to the Attorney PCT/US2014/028298 5 present disclosure is highly durable and significantly reduces the traditional dust issues associated with biomass compositions, as set forth above.
[0026] In one exemplary composition of the present disclosure, the carbonaceous compact comprises, by percent weight, about 69 - 98% biomass composition, about 1 -30% starch, and less than 1% hydroxide. Another composition is about 90 - 95%
carbonaceous biomass and about 5 - 10% of the inventive adhesive additive.
carbonaceous biomass and about 5 - 10% of the inventive adhesive additive.
[0027] Further additives are also provided by the present disclosure, which may include, by way of example, a silicate additive, (which may be a liquid or powder form).
The silicate additive is included to provide added weather resistance and hydrogen bonding of carbonaceous biomass particles. The silicate may include sodium, potassium, or lithium, or mixtures of these three, in one form of the present disclosure.
Bacteria may be added. Bacteria are used to inoculate crops that sequester nitrogen from the air.
Bacteria "Aspergillus Niger" or "arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi" breaks down biomass to element products releasing minerals for plant uptake Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). In another form, the preservative may include sodium tetraborate or borax containing compounds at a concentration of about 1 to about 5%, and more particularly, about 1 to about 2%. Moreover, sodium silicate may be added to improve water repellency.

Moreover, sodium silicate may be added to improve water repellency.
[0028] The additives may also include materials that will benefit from the sequestering of carbon and nitrogen in soils.
