Abstract: A method is provided for producing a biochar solution. The method comprises the steps of collecting biochar particles, dispersing the biochar particles in a liquid solution and adding a stabilizing agent to keep the biochar in flowable suspension. The stabilizing agent may be added to the liquid solution or to the biochar prior to placing the biochar in solution.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a process is described for a water treatment process in which process water is treated with recycled biochar. In accordance with one aspect, process water is passed through activated carbon generated by the biomass pyrolysis and gasification. In accordance with another aspect, the process water is treated to expel gaseous compounds within the process water. In this manner both inorganics, light organics and heavy organics can be removed from the process water. No fermentation is involved.

Abstract: A method is provided for applying porous carbonaceous particles to soil for purpose of cultivating plants having roots, where at least 95% of the porous carbonaceous particles have a particle size less than or equal to 10 mm. The method incorporates the porous carbonaceous particles into the soil surrounding the plant roots at a depth of between 0-24 inches from the soil surface, where the porous carbonaceous particles are positioned in the area surrounding the roots of the plants at a ratio of between 1:999 to 1:1 porous carbonaceous particles to soil.

Abstract: The present invention provides for biochar coated particles and a method for coating the particles with biochar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for applying biochar to turf and landscape to allow the turf and landscape to be effectively maintained under reduced water and/or reduced fertilizer applications.

Abstract: A method of converting biovapors to biofuel includes directing biovapors derived from decomposition of biomass, said biovapors comprising at least C5 and C6 compounds, into a catalytic reaction chamber; and contacting the biovapors with a catalyst composition comprising a nanozeolite.

Abstract: A catalyst and process for synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas are disclosed. The catalyst and process allow dimethyl ether synthesis at low pressures (below 20 bars) at a conversion rate close to the expected equilibrium rate. The catalyst is a combination of a methanol synthesis catalyst with metal components comprising Cu, Zn, Al, Mn and Cs and a methanol dehydration catalyst, wherein the dehydration catalyst is a dehydration agent which allows optimum production of dimethyl ether.

Abstract: A low density zeolite composition includes a zeolite in the amount of less than 80 wt % of total composition and a crystalline non-zeolite metal oxide-containing binder. The composition has a pore volume of at least 0.4 mL/g and an average meso-pore diameter of 20-500 ?, and macroporosity with average pore diameter greater than 500 ?.
