High value biocoke for low emission steel production

该项目旨在通过控制焦油化合物的吸附和碳化，发现填充生物质转化为生物炭过程中形成的纳米孔的方法。通过填充纳米孔，可以避免纳米孔在炼焦过程中的破坏作用。焦炭仍将是未来钢铁生产的重要原料，目前由煤炭生产。预期的结果是突破性的知识，使首次将生物质材料纳入焦炭生产操作的技术成为可能。主要的好处是，除了从农业废料中创造高价值的碳产品外，澳大利亚还可以为世界钢铁工业提供必要的技术，以降低二氧化碳排放。

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.
