Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process as stated in the prior art portion of claims 1 or 4.
  • a process comprising the steps of reacting the ligno-cellulose material with sulfur dioxide and water under heat and pressure by introducing steam; mixing the reacted material from the first step with an alkaline solution to dissolve the reacted lignin; and washing the material from the second step to remove the dissolved lignin from the rest of the mixture, is known from EP-­B 105 937 by the applicant. It had been known for quite some time (US-A 4 053 645) to increase the digestability of cellulo­sic material by converting it to a sugar and saccarine compound which can be used for feeding animals. This compound, also, can be fermented and distilled, leading to alcohol which can be used as fuel. This can be carried out in a self-contained process.
  • Fermentation is a batch-process and usually requires 12 to 24 hours, depending upon the type of cellulose derived from the raw material. Thus, this fermentation step considerably limits the productivity of the prior art process. Further, the distillation for separating the different alcohol and ether compounds requires a lot of energy and causes high expenses.
  • the invention aims to enhance the productivity limits and to save costs, working time and energy consumption. This is achieved by the invention characterized in the claims.
  • the process of the invention By the process of the invention, fermentation is eliminated and a high yield is gained, and it is also possible to eliminate distilla­tion.
  • the cellulosic slurry which contains the sugar and saccarine values after having removed approximately 95% of the original lignin is the result of a process similar to the known process of EP-B 105 937 (Jelks - Strouth) as described up to Col. 5, line 29 thereof.
  • the process of the invention uses the cracking procedure as conventionally used for the production of petroleum products.
  • Separation may be carried out by a separation column which allows to discriminate the different products.
  • the waste heat of these partial processes can be again exploited for the process. What is required for a pilot plant having an input of 1 t per day of dry biomass which originally contained 35% moisture is approximately 250 kW for the digester heating and part of the heat needed for cracking.
  • the plant as described can be run by three to two men and can produce approximately 380 l (85 imperial gallons) of fuel per day.
  • cracking is carried out not only on the basis of the cellulose material but also on the basis of the lignin contained in the biomass, the process comprising the steps of pyrolyzing the ligno-cellulose material so as to crack it and obtain gaseous pyrolyzis pro­ducts, and carrying out a catalytic condensation reaction of the pyrolyzis products to result in a series of compounds from which such usables as fuel are separated.
  • claims 5 and 6 serve to obtain a very suitable fine-grain powder as defined in claim 7, the particular diges­tion step leading to a very brittle wood material which can easily be ground.
  • the chemical treatment of the biomass is preferably as described in other context in US-PS 4 053 645.
  • the pulverized biomass is trans­ported into contact with the catalyst by means of a fluid stream which preferably is superheated steam which proves the cheapest while at the same time heating the reaction zone.
  • the process can be carried out for increased energy saving in the manner as defined in claim 13, using immediately part of the product which part might be less suitable as fuel, for the system heating. Further, it is possible to re-cycle part of the product so as to support transport and reaction.
  • the drawing shows schematic arrangements of process steps and of apparatuses which may be employed in practising the invention.
  • first and second globe rotary digesters 10 and 12 are shown. While only two digesters are shown, it is possible to use only a single digester or any number of digesters for the purposes of this invention. The use of more than one digester, however, is preferred since the reaction which takes place within each of the digesters is a batch process. By using a plurality of digesters the procedure can be carried out as a continuous process.
  • Each of the globe rotary digesters 10, 12 is an apparatus which is used to subject the contents to heat and pressure while the contents is being mixed. Any device which accomplishes these results would be within the scope of the invention, whether carried out as a batch process or a continuous process.
  • a ligno-cellulose material cut into small pieces is deposited in digester 10 to substantially fill the digester, however leaving sufficient room so that the material will mix as the digester rotates.
  • the chosen ligno-cellulose may be any type of wood, straw, bagasse, nut hulls, seed hulls, etc.
  • the woody material is first chopped or ground into particles.
  • the size of the particles should be not more than approximately 7 mm (1/4") but may be as fine as desired.
  • the size of the particles is not important except that it is apparent that the smaller the particles the more expeditious will be the subsequent reaction. Thus the particle size is a matter of engineering trade-off between the cost of reducing the ligno-cellulose material to smaller sizes versus the time utilized in the steps of reac­tion.
  • the ligno-cellulose material (hereinafter called wood) is deposited in digester 10, water and sulfur dioxide are added.
  • the water is added at a ratio of approximately 40% by weight of water to the dry weight of the wood.
  • Sulfur dioxide is added in form of a gas at a ratio by weight of about 1 ⁇ 2 to 6% of the dry weight of the wood.
  • the quantity of sulfur dioxide is predicated upon the percentage of lignin compared to cellulose contained in the wood.
  • the quantity of lignin is less when cottonwood species is used as a raw material, compared to greater percentage when oak or pine are used as raw material with the quantity of sulfur dioxide adjusted, accordingly.
  • the contents of the digester 10 are pressurized by the introduction of steam.
  • Sufficient steam is introduced to bring the temperature of the reaction mixture to between 44°C and 200°C, a range between 49°C and 200°C being preferred, and at a pressure of between 2463 and 15750 hPa (35 and 225 psi).
  • the mixture is cooked at this pressure and temperature for a period of about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  • the duration is determined by the particulate size of the wood raw material and the characteristics of the material.
  • a valve 14 is opened to allow steam to escape to the atmosphere.
  • the loading door is opened and the contents discharge onto a digester pump pit 16.
  • the digester is emptied, it is refilled with wood type material, water, and sulfur dioxide and the process is repeated.
  • the second digester 12 it can be seen that one digester may be in the process of being emptied and refilled while the other digester is in the cooking cycle so that reacted raw material is deposited into the digester pump pit 16 on a more frequent basis.
  • the input can be even more frequent so that the digester pump pit 16 always contains a quantity of reacted material for subsequent pro­cessing on a continuous basis.
  • the reacted material in digester pit 16 is in the form of a slurry and, if necessary, additional water may be added to the pit to maintain the slurry as a pumpable mixture.
  • the digester pump pit includes stirring apparatus 18 to make sure the reacted material does settle out and is retained as a pumpable slurry.
  • a pump 20 By means of a pump 20 the slurry is conducted to a mixing box 22 where the mixture is mixed with an alkaline solution from line 24.
  • the source of the alkaline solution which is conducted through line 24 will be described subsequently.
  • the reaction of the wood in digesters 10 and 12 is such that the sulfur dioxide in the presence of water reacts with the lignin content of the wood to enhance the solubility of the lignin content without destroying the carbohydrate content.
  • Lignin is a fairly complex organic material, varying somewhat from one plant species to another and the exact reaction with sulfur dioxide is not precisely known; however, it has been experimen­tally verified that the reaction of the sulfur dioxide and wood produces a solution wherein when mixed with an alkaline solution the lignin is dissolved.
  • the processed mixture and alkaline solution flows out of mixing box 22 through line 26 into a vacuum washer 28 for separating lignin and cellulose materials.
  • This apparatus is a known type of equipment utilized in the chemical processing industry, and particularly in the paper making industry. Therefore, it is well understood by practitioners in the art and will not be described in detail. Suffice it to say that in a vacuum washer a cylinder is equipped which is rotated in the solution. The interior of the cylinder is impressed with a vacuum. Water is sprayed onto the cylinder from above the solution to wash away the dissolved matter, the cellulose material, being fibrous in nature, forms a mat on the cylinder. The fresh water utilized to wash the lignin content from the matted cellulose is supplied by line 30.
  • the vacuum required by the washer 28 may be supplied by a vacuum pump or by means of, as illustrated, a barometric leg 32 which communicates with an overflow box 34.
  • the dissolved lignin is carried out of the overflow box by line 36 while the cellulose is rolled off the vacuum forming cylinder into a receiving box 38.
  • This matted material is still in a slurry form and is carried by a pump 40 into a second mixing box 42 where the cellulosic material is mixed with water from line 30.
  • the washing procedure is repeated in a second vacuum washer 44 having a barometric leg 46 and overflow box 48 by which the overflow liquid content is carried away from the vacuum washer.
  • the matted cellulose content is rolled off the cylinder into a receiving box 50.
  • the content of receiving box 50 is properly washed material which has more than 95% of the original lignin content removed. It is passed on via a line 52.
  • vacuum washers 28 and 44 While the use of vacuum washers 28 and 44 has been illustrated herein, it is understood that alternate washing procedures can be used in practice of the invention and that the particular means of washing the reacted ligno-cellulose material mixed with an alkaline solution is not a critical element in the practice of the invention and that other known washing systems may be employed. The essence of the washing step is simply to separate the dissolved lignin content from the cellulose material.
  • the materials needed in the process include sulfur dioxide, a metal iron catalyst from that group of metal having a valence of 3, an alkaline solution, water, heat and steam, produced by the process itself.
  • the lignin solution from overflow box 48 is taken by line 90 to a dissolving tank 92, if separated. Melt from the melt pit 94 of a boiler 96 also passes into the dissolving tank 92, when used.
  • the lignin solution from overflow box 34 is carried by line 36 to a set of multi-effect evaporators 98, 100, and 102.
  • the number of such evaporators may be varied.
  • the purpose of the evaporators is to evaporate the water content from the dissolved liquid solution.
  • steam is applied from line 104 to a heat exchanger 106 in evaporator 102.
  • Steam from evaporator 102 is passed by line 108 to a heat exchanger 110 in evaporator 100.
  • steam from evaporator 100 is passed by line 112 to a heat exchanger 114 in evaporator 98.
  • the condensate from evaporator 98 is passed by line 116 into evaporator 100.
  • the condensate from evaporator 100 is passed by line 118 into evaporator 98.
  • the condensate from evaporator 102 is passed by line 120 into a contact evaporator 122.
  • the lignin content of the solution from the overflow box 34 will normally be of about 20% solids, more or less, and the balance liquid. This solution will be concentrated so that the ligning content passing from the multi-effective evaporators in line 120 will be about 55% more or less. In the contact evaporator 122 this solution is brought in contact with recovery boiler stack gases from boiler 96.
  • the solution in the contact evaporator 122 is concentrated to about 65% solids which are carried into a burner 124.
  • the organic solids burns in burner 124 and boiler 96 to produce significant quantities of heat. This heat is used to convert water in the boiler to steam which passes out through steam line 126.
  • the inorganic portion of the burned material is primarily sodium and ends up as molten sodium carbonate in the melt pit 94 under boiler 96.
  • the molten sodium carbonate passes into the melt pit 94 and from there into dissolving tank 92.
  • an alkaline solution forms which is conveyed by pump 128 and line 24 into the mixing box 22.
  • the burned lignin content of the wood raw material is used to produce the alkaline solution for the process.
  • additional alkaline solution it may be supplied by supplemen­tary means.
  • Steam from boiler 96 passing out through steam line 126 is conveyed to a turbine generator 130 to produce electrical energy.
  • the turbine is preferably of the bleeder type which generates electricity and provides process steam by bleeding it from an intermediate point in the turbine at line 132.
  • This process steam is carried by line 134 to the globe rotary digesters 10 and 12 and by line 104 to a multi-effect evapora­tor 102.
  • Spent steam from the multi-effect evaporators may be collected by apparatus not shown and condensed to provide the water which is reused for input into the globe digesters 10, 12, the mixing box 42, and to spray water on the washers 28 and 44.
  • the material supplied through line 52 is a cellulosic slurry which contains high sugar and saccarine values, approximately 95% of the original lignin having been eliminated.
  • This slurry still contains a lot of water part of which is vaporized in a heating unit 140. It is then passed through the heating unit 140 and from thence via a line 141 to a cracking reaction chamber 142. If for the further processing it is necessary to re-liquify it so as to have a pumpable mixture, this can be accomplished by recycling and adding approximately 5 to 10%, releating to the mixture weight, of the end product to the slurry, the respective end product being supplied into line 52 via a line 139.
  • This material is subjected to the cracking process known for petrochemical materials which process is here used to crack the sugar and saccarine material with the aid of a catalyst into products useful as high octane fuel, the resultant materials comprising alcohol and ether compounds such as pheno glyserol, T-6 di methoxy phenol, di pheno ether, phenolic alcohol, 1, sodugeno, dugenol, di methol pheno guiacol, cresole, methyl xylene, proplene methol benzene, benzene prople xylene.

  • the catalyst used is commercially available and recoverable by ion exchange in the presence of steam of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 MPa (1 to 2 atm).
  • the cracking reaction takes 1 to 10 milliseconds approximately in the reaction chamber 142, or about 5 to 7 minutes resident time.
  • Exhaust heat from the cracking stage is used in the process, e.g. by additionally heating the steam in line 104 which can be taken from near the exhaust exit of the turbine 130.
  • the reaction products of the cracking process are transported via a line 143 to a separation column 145.
  • the separation column breaks down the cracked materials into various fractions. The material enters as a mixture of hot vapours the column and therein rises through the bubble caps and condenses on different trays.
  • the lighter fractions do not condense until they reach the cooler trays, i.e. the more up trays.
  • the heavier fractions condense on the lower trays. Among the lighter fractions are those which can be used as fuel. If desired. some heavier fractions can be re-cycled via a line (not shown) to the heating unit 140 and hence into the cracking reaction chamber 142. Some residue which is unuseable is diverted via a line 147. 5 to 10% of the cracked/reformed product will be a tar. This tar product is returned to the cracking chamber for recycling and re-appears with the cracked/reformed product without loss.
  • the reaction chamber 142 needs steam which is taken from line 104.
  • the described method provides a substantially self-contained process for manufacturing fuel out of non-digestible organic ligno-cellulose material in a manner wherein a supplementary energy source for supplying heat is either not required or if supplemental energy is required such need is greatly minimized.

  • the pulverized material is transported to a cracker/reformer 205 wherein, in a same reaction zone, the powder is cracked by pyrolyzation and is reformed by condensation.
  • the powdered biomass is introduced into a hot environment, i.e. in a catalyst bed being fluidized by a carrying gas which preferably is superheated steam which is cheapest to arrange, or is an inert gas which may be cold or warm up to 110 to 160°C, which is a temperature well below the temperature where pyrolyzis starts.
  • the fluidized bed of the catalyst has a much higher temperature, the carrier gas thereof - of the same kind as the transporting carrier gas for the biomass - being revolved by a blower pump 206 and in this cycle being heated by a heater 207.
  • the biomass powder entering the reaction zone is heated and pyrolyzis takes place, resulting in fragmented molecules which enter the catalyst immediately and chemically condense in contact therewith to form mainly liquid materials satisfactory for use as gasoline fuel or to be blended with gasoline.

Careful drying will help to circumvent the application of pressure during digestion in the cooking step.
