The invention provides for methods, devices, and systems for pyrolyzing biomass. A pyrolysis unit can be used for the pyrolysis of biomass to form gas, liquid, and solid products. The biomass materials can be selected such that an enhanced biochar is formed after pyrolysis. The biomass can be pyrolyzed under specified conditions such that a selected biochar core is formed. The pyrolysis process can form a stable biochar core that is inert and/or resistant to degradation. The biochar or biochar core can be functionalized to form a functionalized biochar or functionalized biochar core. Functionalization can include post-pyrolysis treatments such as supplementation with microbes or physical transformations including annealing and/or activation.

The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing a small-molecule organic water-soluble fertilizer. In the method, the biomass is crushed by collision into pulp, added with a trace element and a catalyst, and hydrolyzed and complete a chelation reaction, added with an inorganic fertilizer for nanometerization, subjected to vacuum evaporation and concentration and then added with a stabilizer, and ultrasonically homogenized to obtain the small-molecule organic water-soluble fertilizer. The pressurized differential speed gradient stirring effectively improves the degree of chelation between the trace element and the biomass; catalytic hydrolysis of the biomass with increasing the pressure improves the efficiency of hydrolyzing an organic macromolecule into small organic molecules; under the action of pressurized gradient grinding, the nanometerization degree of the inorganic fertilizer is improved; and the small-molecular organic water-soluble fertilizer homogenized ultrasonically has enhanced solubility, and is not easy to produce a precipitate after long-term storage.

Disclosed is a method for anaerobic pyrolysis treatment of dead-of-disease livestock and municipal organic refuse, which uses an anaerobic pyrolysis device to perform a harmlessness treatment on dead-of-disease pigs, the treatment being a chemical reaction process performed in a sealed, oxygen-free, non-combustible, high-temperature state, comprising heating the bodies of pigs to a high temperature under an anaerobic state, and by the action of thermal decomposition through reactions such as vaporization, pyrolysis, dehydrogenation, thermal condensation and carbonization, evaporating the moisture from the pig bodies, converting the organics therein to combustible gases and organic carbon, and killing various types of bacteria in the bodies of the dead pigs via the high temperature. Thus, a harmlessness and reutilization treatment of the dead-of-disease livestock is achieved, and environmental pollution and propagation of fatal animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, highly pathogenic blue-ear pig disease and swine fever are avoided. Also disclosed is a device for realizing the above-mentioned method.
