Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for processing carbonaceous materials that includes introducing a first source of carbonaceous material as a first feedstock into a mixer. Then, a second source of carbonaceous material is introduced as a second feedstock into the mixer. The second feedstock is one of the outputs of the processing of the carbonaceous materials. These carbonaceous materials are mixed into a single feedstock of carbonaceous materials that is customized into a predetermined material composition, and this predetermined mixture is then pyrolyzed in a pyrolyzer to produce a custom carbonaceous output. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims8
A method for producing custom carbonaceous materials comprising:
- introducing a first source of carbonaceous material as a first feedstock into a former;
- modifying properties of the first source of carbonaceous material;
- producing at least one transitory output using the first source of modified carbonaceous material;
- analyzing said at least one transitory output to determine if further modifying is desirable;
- and
- producing a custom carbonaceous material output.
A method for producing custom carbonaceous materials comprising:
- introducing carbonaceous feedstock materials into a mixer of feedstock materials;
- forming said feedstock materials;
- heating said feedstock materials;
- and
- modifying said feedstock materials based on output of said heating of the feedstock materials.
A method for processing carbonaceous materials comprising:
- introducing a first source of carbonaceous material as a first feedstock into a mixer;
- introducing a second source of carbonaceous material as a second feedstock into the mixer wherein the second feedstock is one of the outputs of said processing of carbonaceous materials;
- mixing at least the first and second source carbonaceous materials into a single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- customizing said single feedstock into a predetermined material composition;
- and
- pyrolyzing said customized single feedstock in a pyrolyzer to produce a custom carbonaceous output.
