  • Publication number: 20130156655
    Abstract: Approaches for producing fuel from a carbon-containing feedstock are described. Feedstock is introduced into a substantially microwave-transparent reaction chamber. A microwave source emits microwaves which are directed through the microwave-transparent wall of the reaction chamber to impinge on the feedstock within the reaction chamber. The microwave source may be rotated relative to the reaction chamber. The feedstock is subjected to microwaves until the desired reaction occurs to produce a fuel. A catalyst can be mixed with the feedstock to enhance the reaction process.

  • Publication number: 20090232725
    Abstract: A method of processing carbonacious material into gas and activated carbon, comprising the steps of placing feedstock onto a fluidized bed; directing non-oxygenated gas through the fluidized bed; adjusting a velocity of the gas such that the gas is slow enough to leave the feedstock on the fluidized bed and fast enough to remove activated carbon and volatiles.
