  • Patent number: 10407700
    Abstract: A surfactant-improved simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation method for lignocelluloses in which a pretreated lignocellulose substrate is directly subjected to surfactant-improved simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation without any detoxification by adding a surfactant, and the surfactant may be selectively added before or after pre-enzymatic hydrolysis, having economic, effective and feasible application prospects in reducing the loss of glucose, simplifying the production process, reducing equipment investment, reducing water consumption, improving ethanol production and reducing the total cost of the ethanol production process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019

  • Patent number: 9650254
    Abstract: A method of production of active carbon by pyrolysis of organic materials, includes pyrolysis unit, reforming unit, drying unit, purification unit, gas storage unit and high temperature regenerative combustion unit. Organic materials are subjected to pyrolysis reaction in pyrolysis unit to produce combustible gas, tar and char. Combustible gas is reformed through reforming unit then enters into the drying unit for drying organic materials. One part of the purified combustible gas is combusted in the direction of combustion channel in the high temperature regenerative combustion unit, and the combustion heat is produced. At the same time, another part of combustible gas exchanges heat in the direction of heat exchanger channel in the regenerative combustion unit. Then it is used as pyrolysis activation medium entering into the pyrolysis unit in process of pyrolysis and activation reaction. The char is activated by the combustible gas in the pyrolysis unit then forms activated carbon.
