The Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC) has a long history of working with microwave technology for synthesis, extraction, hydrolysis and pyrolysis. Our microwave pyrolysis unit  can pyrolyse a variety of biomass which can then be separated into bio-char and fractionated bio-oil using the integral product collection system. Our pyrolysis microwave unit is capable of continuous flow up to 30 kg/hour at variable power (6 kW) and has been custom built by SAIREM for the BDC. This machine is capable of continuous flow up to 30 kg/hour at variable power (6 kW) and has been custom built by SAIREM for the BDC.  This unique patented technology was developed here at York and is particularly novel as it is a low temperature method (less than 200°C) and separates the bio-oil products into more useful groups.  The second unit at the BDC is the Carbolite custom furnace - a continuous Inconel tube system with a designed temperature limit of 1000 °C. It allows the heating up of organic material in the absence of oxygen.  This furnace has a 50 litre hopper and a heated section length of 2 metres with three programmable heated sections. Material is fed through the furnace via an auger system and can be ran in either continuous or batch mode. The throughput of the furnace is dependent on the material being processed, however there is a 60 litre collection bin and a 20 litre collection pot for any by-products being produced.

Technology details

Feedstock: Food and kitchen waste (lignocellulosic materials), Garden and park waste (lignocellulosic materials)
Product: Fermentable sugar

For microwave (MW) treatment electromagnetic radiation is used to induce thermal and non-thermal effects that drive physical, chemical or biological reactions[1]. As a rapid and effective heating source with both thermal and non-thermal effects, MW can directly interact with the material, thereby accelerating chemical, physical, and biologic reactions.[2] Microwave treatment causes a rise in the temperature within a penetrated medium as a result of rapid changes of the electromagnetic field at high frequency.[3] The technology is usually applied in food drying or to break down the structure of lignocellulosic biowaste leading to the release of different substances, such as fermentable sugars.

Feedstock

Origin and composition

Microwave irradiation has been successfully used in the pretreatment of several biowaste streams, including agricultural residues, woody biomass, grass, energy plants, and industrial residuals.[4]

Pre-treatment

Process and technologies

The breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass into its monomers and oligomers is induced via molecular collision due to dielectric polarisation[5]. Compared to other thermal treatments, the technology brings several advantages, such as reduced plant footprint, higher throughput, higher reaction rates, as well as higher yield and purity[1]. However, a disadvantage is the unequal distribution of the applied microwave power through non-homogeneous material (such as differences in composition, geometry, or size) as well as local overheating through resonance (electromagnetic wave reflection and formation of standing waves) and low penetration for bulk materials [5].

The process can also be combined with chemicals such as alkaline (to remove lignin), acid (to remove hemicellulose), ammonia, and metal salts[1].
