Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for the thermal conversion of carbonaceous feedstock material into biochar. The carbonaceous feedstock material may be harvested, preprocessed and pyrolyzed. An amount of carbonaceous feedstock material is received. An amount of a catalyst is applied to the carbonaceous feedstock material. The carbonaceous feedstock material and the applied catalyst is heated in an anaerobic environment to a temperature of at least 300 C. The biochar material is then generated.
Claims15
A method of converting a carbonaceous feedstock material into a solid carbon product, the method comprising:
- receiving an amount of a carbonaceous feedstock material;
- applying an amount of a catalyst to the carbonaceous feedstock material, the catalyst comprising a transition metal salt, the transition metal salt being soluble in water;
- heating the carbonaceous feedstock material and the applied catalyst in an anaerobic environment to a temperature of at least 500 C;
- and
- generating a graphitic biochar material.
