Microwave produced pyrolysis oil from beneficiated organic-carbon-containing feedstock
First Claim
1. A composition, comprising:
- a processed pyrolysis oil composition that comprises a liquid renewable carbon fuel with characteristics that include an energy density of at least 33.0 MMBTU/ton (38.4 GJ/MT), a water content of less than 15 wt %, and a pH of at least as high as 4.0, andthe processed pyrolysis oil is made from unprocessed organic-carbon-containing feedstock that is converted into the processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock with a beneficiation sub-system, and to the processed pyrolysis oil with a microwave sub-system.

Abstract
A processed pyrolysis oil composition, a renewable liquid fuel, having a high energy density, low water content and a more neutral pH, and made with an oxygen-starved microwave sub-system from a processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock made with a beneficiation sub-system is described. Renewable biomass feedstock passed through a beneficiation sub-system to reduce water content to below at least 20 wt % and water-soluble salt reduction of at least 60% from that of unprocessed organic-carbon-containing feedstock on a dry basis. The processed feedstock is introduced into a substantially microwave-transparent reaction chamber. A microwave source emits microwaves which are directed through the microwave-transparent wall of the reaction chamber to impinge on the feedstock within the reaction chamber. The microwave source may be rotated relative to the reaction chamber. The feedstock is subjected to microwaves until the desired reaction occurs to produce a liquid processed pyrolysis oil fuel.
