METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE RECOVERY OF ENERGY FROM BIOMASS AND COMBUSTIBLE WASTE, IN PARTICULAR RENEWABLE RESOURCES, AND FOR CARBONATION

摘要

The invention relates to a system and to a method for the recovery of energy from biomass and combustible waste and for the carbonation of said materials. According to the invention, the carbonation is carried out in an autothermic, oxygen-free and continuous process without the addition of water and catalysts in the reactor. The invention allows electrical and thermal energy to be generated in conjunction with the production of high-quality biochar, or alternatively of ash, which can be used as fertilizer in agriculture or gardening. A special advantage of the system and of the method is that biomass of a very wide variety, for example renewable resources, biological waste from the food industry and the industrial processing of fruits and vegetables, sorted municipal waste, sediment from wastewater purification plants, animal biomass, bone meal and all other solid biological alternative and waste products, can be used for the recovery of energy.
