Abstract
A method for transforming organic waste into carbon using sequential physical and biological degradation, including fermentation, drying under vacuum and elevated temperature followed by heating to a temperature of between 300° C. and 500° C. to promote carbonization and production of charcoal.
Claims20
A method for transforming waste into carbon in a carbonization chamber, said method comprising:
- Providing air-tight sealable a carbonization chamber and loading the carbonization chamber with organic waste materials;
- (a) performing three-step biological degradation by performing aerobic digestion with a first mesophilic aerobic inoculum at between 45° C. and 55° C. performed with constant mixing and aeration;
- followed by thermophilic aerobic digestion with a second aerobic inoculum at between 55° C. and 65° C. performed with constant mixing and aeration;
- followed by (3) anaerobic digestion with an anaerobic inoculum at temperatures varying between 20° C. and 57° C., performed under conditions of low oxygen;
- followed by
- (b) drying the contents of the carbonization chamber under at least a partial vacuum, at a heat of at least 200° C.;
- and
- (c) heating the interior of the carbonization chamber to a temperature of between 300° C. and 800° C. to promote carbonization and production of charcoal.
