Abstract
The invention relates to a solid object and a method for producing the same. The solid object is produced from a biomaterial-based starting material comprising vinasse and/or molasses. In the method, a mixture produced from the starting material or a foam produced therefrom is formed and heat treated in order to produce a solid object. The obtained solid object is suitable to be used for example as a filler, a filter or catalyst substrate.
Claims9
A method for producing a porous solid object from a biomaterial-based starting material, the method comprising:
- forming a mixture or a foam from the starting material, the starting material comprising at least 10 weight-% of vinasse and/or molasses, calculated from the total weight of the starting material, and
- subjecting the formed mixture or the formed foam obtained therefrom to a heat treatment to produce the porous solid object,
- wherein the porous solid object has a density of less than 1 kg/dm3.
