TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Waste: The livestock waste is swine manure, cattle manure and/or poultry manure. The waste product is sawdust, seasonal grass, straw, paper, seed cleaning, and/or municipal solid waste.Preferred Method: The livestock waste is screened to retain the solid components and separate the aqueous portion, while the particles of the waste product is passed through a hammer mill to less than 0.75 inches (in), before being used to form the mixture. The mixture is formed at less than 100 degreesF, pelletized and heated to at least 800 degreesF in a gasifier producing at least 5000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of energy per pound of the self-sustaining body heated. The moisture content of the solid component and the mixture is obtained without drying.Preferred Composition: The moisture content of the solid component and the formed mixture are 60-80 wt.% and 10-40 wt.%, respectively. The weight ratio of livestock waste solid components to the second waste product is 15:85-60:40.Preferred Property: The largest average surface-to-surface dimension of the pellet is 0.50. The average particle size of the solid components and the second waste product is less than 0.75 in. EXAMPLE - Hog waste was screened to separate solid components (70 wt.% moisture content) from the liquid portion. Orchard grass was ground to less than 0.75 inches (in). The ground grass was then mixed with the solid components at a ratio of 80:20, until the mixture was homogenous. The mixture was then pelletized to 5/16 in. A quantity of pellets was then pyrolyzed at 1300 degreesF. A quantity of emissions was collected on a charcoal tube. The emission samples were analyzed by desorption of the emissions into a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer. A quantity of pure orchard grass was pyrolyzed at 1300 degreesF for comparison. Average analyses of stack emissions for the orchard grass (OG) and orchard gas/hog waste (OG/HW) were: carbon gas content, (wt.%) 41.10 (OG) and 35.95 (OG/HW); hydrogen content, 5.72 (OG) and 5.06 (OG/HW); and nitrogen content, 1.54 (OG) and 1.52 (OG/HW). While trace organic compounds were still present in the OG/HW after heating, odor-causing compounds were not present in the emissions.
