METHOD FOR REMOVING CHLORINE AND INORGANIC COMPONENTS FROM EUCALYPTUS SSP. WOOD FOR PRODUCING SOLID BIOFUEL, IN THE FORM OF 'PELLETS' OR SOME OTHER FORM

摘要

The eucalyptus produced in tropical regions tends to contain higher concentrations of chlorine and other inorganic substances in quantities that are higher than those allowed by international standards, such as Enplus and the like, for producing solid biofuels. The present invention relates to the removal of chlorine and other inorganic substances, using mechanical and chemical pretreatment processes, comprising mincing, grinding and leaching, prior to producing the biofuels in the form of pellets or some other form. Said method provides for a decrease in toxic gases such as dioxins and corrosive gases that result from the process of combustion of the solid biofuels.
