Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to biofuel briquettes and their production processes. The present invention also relates to the use of waste.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

There are many patented inventions of alternative energy in the world, associated with various renewable energy sources such as water, biological media (plants, animals, wood and the like), air, sunlight and the like. On the other hand, the activity or presence of humanity or biological media results in many types of waste, such as wood sawdust, flour dust, coal sand, animal droppings, hay, straw, grain, shredded branches and many other types of waste. As humanity is constantly feeling the need for energy and waste of all kinds is on the rise, new ways of solving two immediate problems - energy recovery and waste utilization - are increasingly emerging. Over time, alternative energy has become more and more important in the life of mankind, as standard non-renewable energy sources (oil, gas, coal, etc.) are rapidly declining and energy demand is increasing.

The present invention is focused on a process for the production of biofuel briquettes, wherein the briquette is based on various types of waste, and the briquette production process consists of a sequence of operations.

Known French patent no. FR2904325, published May 2008 1 February This patent is concerned with the compression of barley, buckwheat, rice, barley, oats and similar cereal waste into cylindrical pellets. This type of pellet can be used as animal food or as biofuel. However, this technique requires high-pressure technological equipment and electricity.

Also known is U.S. Pat. US5421836, published May 1995. June 6 This patent relates to a process for the preparation of briquettes, wherein coconut charcoal dust, borax, limestone or other such waste is crushed, mixed with starch and water and compressed. This process results in pellets which are then placed in bags and presented to the end user. However, this technique also requires sophisticated equipment and electricity.

U.S. Pat. US5288413, published April 1994. February 22, This patent discloses a method for utilizing solid waste containing water or oil, which includes a filtration operation using vacuum equipment. This type of solution is very good at separating and filtering out potentially flammable materials from moisture and other liquids. However, this patent only covers a filtration process that uses expensive and sophisticated vacuum equipment.

Also known is Chinese patent no. CN101113348, Published 2008 January 30th This patent describes a process for producing biofuels using high pressure fluid conversion equipment. This technology allows the production of biofuel briquettes from all kinds of waste, such as sawdust, straw, household combustible materials and the like. However, in this case also high-pressure equipment, which presses the said waste into briquettes, applies.

The closest prior art is the international application VV00005328, published May 2000. February 3 This application describes high pressure equipment which presses various types of waste into combustible biofuel briquettes. The production of these briquettes also involves heating and heating. However, in this case, pressure equipment is used again.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Brief production of biofuels has been shown to be very popular at the present state of the art, but is accomplished using sophisticated and expensive compression and / or vacuum equipment that requires maintenance and electricity.

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention seeks to provide a new method for the production of biofuel briquettes which allows the biofuel briquettes to be produced manually without the use of any technological equipment and electricity.

An essential feature of the present invention is that in the manufacture of biofuel briquettes from various types of waste, a binder is added to the same mass, which solidifies during the natural drying / drying process of the briquette with said waste. It should also be noted that said binder is flammable and is also a waste material, e.g. the production process is completely eco-friendly and does not provide for any additional by-products or materials during production. The amount of binder may be varied, and below is a method to reduce the amount of binder to its absence.

The biofuel briquette preparation method of the present invention ensures a very easy production process without using any energy source: neither heat nor electricity. Also, the biofuel briquettes produced in this way have a very high combustion temperature, are extremely light and, more importantly, are not afraid of moisture. This type of briquette production can be used by people in villages where there is no electricity supply.

This new way of preparing biofuel briquettes protects nature and its resources: reduces fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, saves electricity SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

It has been observed that the activities / presence of mankind / biological media results in a large variety of waste. Nowadays, waste recycling is playing an increasingly important and important role in the life of mankind as waste volumes increase and Earth's resources dwindle. The wastes that can be used in the present invention are as follows:

wet or dry peat, coal sands, rabbit droppings, any hay, any straw, husks and waste from whole grains (corn, buckwheat, rice, barley, oats, etc.), sunflower husks, nut shells, flour of all kinds residues from the milling process, flour dust, used oil, chopped branches, chips, chips, spruce and pine cones, processed grease, miscellaneous grains and the like.

All ingredients can be either dry or wet, i.e. the present invention does not require drying waste. Conversely, the presence of water or any other liquid in the waste is even desirable.

A distinctive feature of the present invention is that in the production of biofuel briquettes from the various types of said waste, a binder is introduced into the same mass which solidifies with said waste during the natural drying process of the briquette. The binder function is any type of flour, starch, flour dust or similar waste from the milling process of various types of grain.

The process for preparing the biofuel briquettes of the present invention comprises the following steps (mechanical process):

1) All waste is mixed in a large container (without or with water) together with a binder;

(2) using a film-forming mechanical lathe to form cylindrical briquettes from which the film is wrapped;

3) removing the briquettes formed on the lathe and allowing them to dry for a period of time of approximately 5 hours (initial drying);

4) after the initial drying, said film is removed from the formed briquettes;

5) The formed briquettes are dried again for about 12-13 hours (secondary drying).

FIG. 1 is a photograph (as an illustration) of the biofuel briquettes produced by the present invention.

By applying the biofuel briquette production method of the present invention, we obtain lightweight, fast and easy to produce, eco-friendly, highly combustible and water-resistant biofuel briquettes. Such briquettes no longer have to be crushed, they smell delicious and are suitable for different types of shoulders. It should also be noted that all of the above wastes can be mixed without water, but water / moisture not only does not interfere with this process, but vice versa - helps. By mixing the waste with the binder together with some amount of water or other liquid, after secondary drying the briquettes become harder (like bone), burn better (release more heat during combustion) and become more moisture resistant (no need to be protected from rain). The amount of binder can vary within wide limits (e.g. 5-50%), but empirically it is preferred that the amount of binder is 15% of the total weight / weight of the mixture / briquette. During the primary and secondary drying, said briquettes can be dried directly in the open air or indoors, but can also be dried in special dryers. For primary and secondary drying, the above times are optimal, but depending on materials and needs, these time intervals may be shorter or longer.

The standard (i.e. mechanical) method of producing biofuel briquettes involves the use of a mechanical machine, but the briquettes can be molded directly by hand (with gloves) even without any machine. In this case, the biofuel briquette preparation method would include the following steps (manual mode):

1) all waste is mixed in a large container (without water) with or without a binder;

2) the mixed material is embedded / embossed in the prepared paper cylindrical recesses (these recycled paper recesses are waste from the manufacturing process).

It should also be noted that biofuel briquettes can take various forms: cylinder, rectangle, cone, egg, cube, pyramid, sphere, hexagonal prism and the like. The briquette may also have other regular or irregular forms. The cylindrical shape is optimal in terms of combustion, but the geometry of the final product (briquette) may be different. The length of the briquette can also be any.

In the case of manual briquetting of paper briquettes, the amount of binder may or may not be reduced.

Here are some of the best embodiments of the above mechanical preparation of briquettes:

1. mixing wet or dry coarse or fine sawdust with flour dust (sawdust briquettes);

(2) mixing wet or dry peat with flour dust (peat briquette), to which wood chips may also be added;

3) mixing of coal sand with sawdust, peat and flour dust (coal briquette).

Also, we present the best embodiment using the above manual briquette preparation method:

1) We put hay, straw, peat, carbon dust, sawdust, grain and crushed branches into the paper trowel (in this case the binder flour I do not even need dust).

Beet waste also proved to be a good combustible fuel. The beet waste is perfectly compressed into the said paper cans manually, even without the binder. The various wastes mentioned are best pressed into paper cans using a simple wooden crusher.
