High value biocoke for low emission steel production

该项目旨在通过焦油化合物的受控吸附和碳化，发现填充生物质转化为生物焦过程中形成的纳米孔的方法。 通过填充纳米孔，将避免它们在炼焦期间的破坏性影响。 焦炭仍将是未来钢铁生产的重要原料，目前主要由煤炭生产。 预期的成果是突破性的知识，使第一次，将生物质材料纳入炼焦业务的技术。 澳大利亚的主要利益是为世界钢铁行业提供基本技术，以降低二氧化碳排放量，以及从农业废物中生产高价值的碳产品。

This project aims to discover methods to fill nanopores that form during conversion of biomass to biocoke through controlled adsorption and carbonisation of tar compounds. By filling nanopores, their disruptive effects during coke-making will be avoided. Coke will remain a vital ingredient for steel production in the future and is currently produced from coal. The expected outcome is breakthrough knowledge to enable, for the first time, technologies for incorporating biomass materials into coke-making operations. Key benefits are for Australia to provide essential technologies for the world’s steel industries to lower CO2 emissions in addition to creating high value carbon products from its agricultural wastes.
