Production of High Value Solid Fuels from Cellulosic Feed Materials by the Koppelman Process

摘要

When wet cellulosic material is heated to 500 exp 0 C in an autoclave at 100 atmospheric pressure, the resulting solid product is dry and has a heating value ranging from 6700 to 7800 cal/g (12,000 to 14,000 Btu/lb). This treatment is the basis for the Koppelman Process covered in US Patent 4,052,168. Test results and product characteristics are described. (ERA citation 05:034656)
