TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Components: The saccharified biomass material includes cells; proteins; denatured enzyme material; and lignocellulosic residue from lignocellulosic material that has been treated to reduce its recalcitrance prior to saccharification (where the lignocellulosic material has been treated with accelerated electrons to reduce its recalcitrance). The cells are selected from yeast cells, bacterial cells and/or fungal cells. The protein material is an enzyme material. The electrons have an average energy of 0.3-5 MeV (preferably 0.5-3.5 Mev, especially 0.8-2 MeV). The saccharified biomass material includes inorganic solids; and the energy is in the form of heat; or electrical energy. The lignocellulosic material is selected from wood, particle board, sawdust, agricultural waste, sewage, silage, grasses, rice hulls, bagasse, cotton, jute, hemp, flax, bamboo, sisal, abaca, straw, corn cobs, corn stover, switchgrass, alfalfa, hay, coconut hair, seaweed and/or algae. The residue includes nitrogen (at least 0.1 wt.%) in a nitrogen(III) compound. The nitrogen (III) compound is selected from proteins, denatured proteins, protein residues, amino acids, amino acid residues, urea and/or ammonia. Preferred Method: The lignocellulosic biomass has been treated to a total dose of 10-100 (preferably 20-45, especially 25-40) Mrad. During combustion, a boiler or gasifier is utilized, where the boiler is selected from stoker grate boiler, a fluidized bed boiler and a co-fired boiler; and the gasifier is a fixed bed or a fluidized bed gasifier. The saccharified biomass is collected utilizing a rotary drum filter or a centrifuge, prior to combustion. The processing involves irradiating, saccharifying or fermentation. The saccharifying produces glucose and xylose. The method (M1) further involves: drying the solid residue prior to combusting the solid residue; combining the residue with a drying agent (preferably fine biomass material having a medium particle size of less than 1 mm (preferably less than 500 mu m, especially less than 100 mu m)); and forming the residue into a form selected from cakes, pellets, densified shapes, and/or powder, prior to combusting. The residue is dried using a screw dryer.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The inorganic solid is selected from diatomaceous earth, celite, silica, pumice, perlite, alumina, zeolites and/or sand.
