Method For Destruction Of Organic Compounds By Co-Oxidation With Activated Carbon
US Patent:
6982068, Jan 3, 2006
Filed:
Apr 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/425327
Inventors:
Hugh Stanley McLaughlin - Groton MA, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/72
US Classification:
4232451, 4232453, 502 38, 502 51, 210694
Abstract:
A method for oxidizing carbon adsorbable organic compounds in a controlled manner within a bed of activated carbon. The bed of activated carbon is exposed to a source of molecular oxygen, such as air, and is controlled within a temperature range whereby the molecular oxygen is slowly oxidizing the activated carbon. Under this controlled set of conditions, the activated carbon will oxidize organic compounds present within the bed of activated carbon. This technique has widespread versatility for the controlled destruction of organic vapors and liquids by activated carbon and applications for the regeneration of spent activated carbons containing previously adsorbed organic compounds.

Method Of Converting Pyrolyzable Organic Materials To Biocarbon
US Patent:
8226798, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:
May 26, 2009

Assignee:
Alterna Energy Inc. - Prince George
International Classification:
C10B 33/00
US Classification:
201 3, 201 21, 201 28, 201 29, 110345, 585240
Abstract:
A method of forming a pyrolysed biocarbon from a pyrolyzable organic material is delineated. The method involves the conversion of pyrolyzable organic materials to biocarbon for subsequent use. A carbonization circuit is employed with individual feedstock segments being advanced through the circuit. The method facilitates user manipulation of rate of advancement of the feedstock through the circuit, selective collation of volatiles from pyrolyzing feedstock, selective exposure of predetermined feedstock segments to collated volatiles as well as thermal recovery and redistribution as desired by the user. This results in the capacity for a customizable biocarbon product, the latter being an auxiliary feature of the methodology.
