DESC:DESCRIPTION:
Field of the invention:
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of biomass processing, and in specific relates to a method for enhancing a calorific value of biomass using a combination of laser light and solvent treatment, thereby increasing a utilization of biomass as a sustainable and efficient energy source.
Background of the invention:
[0002] Biomass is an abundant and renewable resource that is gaining traction as a sustainable energy source. Researchers have investigated methods for maximizing its potential as a source in order to boost the biomass calorific value. The biomass renewable resource has a high concentration of potassium, sulfur, chlorine, and other elements, and when directly combusted, it produces a high concentration of dust, poisonous gas, and other by-products, making the biomass fuel dangerous to the environment and human health. An adhesive is frequently added to the renewable resource to form it, increasing the types and contents of chemical elements in the product, the types of gases volatilized after combustion, the amount of ash produced, and the negative effects on environmental governance.

[0003] In general, a method for increasing the calorific value of low-grade coals is known. At an initial step, coals are placed in an airtight chamber in an inert atmosphere at a temperature range of 100 to 150 °C to remove moisture, which is then exhausted from the airtight chamber. Next, inject the same amount of the inert gases as the exhauster vapour into the airtight chamber. Next, heat the coals in a dried state at the temperature from 350 to 450 °C to thermally decompose elements contained in the material. Next, it separates the individual predicted elements except from carbon in the atmosphere, where the element having a lower decomposition temperature at 450 °C and exhausts the element each time of separation to the outside of the atmosphere. Next, inject the same amount of the inert gas into the airtight chamber as the exhausted separated elements. Furthermore, seals the obtained upgraded coal in a bulk state in a cartridge during keeping in the inert atmosphere.

[0004] By addressing all the above mentioned problems, there is a need for a method for enhancing the calorific value of biomass that combines laser light and solvent treatment to increase sustainable energy sources. There is also a need for a method that increases efficiency in converting biomass into valuable products by utilising a laser light treatment to enhance chemical reactions and improve the transformation of organic components.

[0005] In existing technology, a method for preparing a moisture-proof calorific value biomass fuel is known. The preparation method of moisture-proof calorific value biomass fuel comprises 15 to 20 parts of corn straws, 15 to 20 parts of rice husks, 5 to 10 parts of pine barks, 0.12 to 0.25 parts of mineral components, and 5.5 to 8 parts of adhesives. The adhesives having starch, clay, and the mineral components are two mixtures of olivine and iron ore, with a mass ratio of the olivine to the iron ore of three. The water content of the product is reduced, from 7 to 8 percent of water content of the common biomass fuel to 3 to 4 percent, with the highest water content of the fuel not exceeding 10 to 12 percent, thereby allowing the product to be stored in a humid environment for an extended period of time. However, the method for preparing a moisture-proof calorific value biomass fuel might not enhance the biomass conversion process to the commercial value. Moreover, the method might not be effective in purifying the final product, thereby leading to improper properties.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a method for enhancing a calorific value of biomass that utilises a combination of laser light and solvent treatment to increase the biomass as a sustainable and efficient energy source. There is also a need for a method that increases efficiency in converting biomass into valuable products by utilising a laser light treatment to enhance chemical reactions and improve the transformation of organic components. Further, there is also a need for a method that utilizes renewable energy sources and biomass as a primary raw material, contributes to environmental sustainability, and reduces the industry's reliance on petroleum-based resources.

[0055] In one example embodiment herein, the calorific value of algae and rice straw is enhanced through exposure to green laser light with the wavelength of 532 nm for a time period of at least 20 to 30 minutes, thereby retaining various solvents. The enhanced calorific value is determined through a laboratory analysis utilising the bomb calorimeter, thereby exhibiting a substantial improvement in the 300–720 cal/gm range compared to non-treated control samples, which had notably lower calorific values. The conditions involve a biomass drying procedure and extending the treatment duration, thereby incorporating soaking and prolonged exposure to the green laser light.

[0056] The proportion is based on the well-established concept that moisture content in biomass is inversely associated with calorific value thereby, limiting moisture content is critical to optimizing potential calorific value. The potential for significant improvement in the energy content of algae and rice straw is subjected to laser light treatment and solvent soaking, accentuating the importance of moisture management and proposing adjustments to treatment conditions might unleash even greater calorific value enhancements.

[0057] In one embodiment herein, the functional group of the graph represents an elevation in the calorific value of the biomass, thereby obtaining more efficient and valuable energy sources such as aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated functional groups, aliphatic hydrocarbons, lignin decomposition products, and carbon-rich materials. In one embodiment herein, the aromatic hydrocarbons are configured to be exposed to solvents and laser energy, such as benzene and toluene compounds. The compounds possess a higher energy content due to their stable ring structures, thereby producing excellent contributions to the calorific value.

[0058] In one embodiment herein, the ethanol is configured to oxygenate functional groups into the biomass, which includes hydroxyl (OH) and carbonyl (C=O) groups. The oxygenated groups enhance the reactivity of the biomass and contribute to increased energy yield upon combustion. In one embodiment herein, the solvent treatment leads to the formation of aliphatic hydrocarbons. During the process, the energy-dense aromatic compounds still contribute to the overall calorific value of the biomass.

[0059] In one embodiment herein, the solvents are configured to breakdown the lignin within the biomass into smaller, more combustible compounds. The lignin decomposition products, such as phenolic and aromatic hydrocarbons, are created, further enhancing the energy potential. In one embodiment herein, the exposure to the laser energy induces carbonization, transforming portions of the biomass into carbon-rich materials. The high carbon content possess excellent energy properties and significantly increases the calorific value.

[0060] Numerous advantages of the present disclosure may be apparent from the discussion above. In accordance with the present disclosure, the method utilises a combination of laser light and solvent treatment to increase the biomass as a sustainable and efficient energy source. The proposed method increases efficiency in converting biomass into valuable products by utilizing green laser light to enhance chemical reactions and improve the transformation of organic components.

[0061] The proposed method utilizes renewable energy sources and biomass as a primary raw material, contributes to environmental sustainability, and reduces the industry's reliance on petroleum-based resources. The proposed method aids in purifying the final products and improving their properties, increasing their industrial and commercial value.
