This invention provides processes and systems for converting biomass into high-carbon biogenic reagents that are suitable for a variety of commercial applications. Some embodiments employ pyrolysis in the presence of an inert gas to generate hot pyrolyzed solids, condensable vapors, and non-condensable gases, followed by separation of vapors and gases, and cooling of the hot pyrolyzed solids in the presence of the inert gas. Additives may be introduced during processing or combined with the reagent, or both. The biogenic reagent may include at least 70 wt %, 80 wt %, 90 wt %, 95 wt %, or more total carbon on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may have an energy content of at least 12,000 Btu/lb, 13,000 Btu/lb, 14,000 Btu/lb, or 14,500 Btu/lb on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may be formed into fine powders, or structural objects. The structural objects may have a structure and/or strength that derive from the feedstock, heat rate, and additives.

The present invention discloses a dust removing and coding method for an active coke regeneration apparatus. When the active coke regeneration apparatus is operating, the method includes the following: generating two negative pressure regions respectively at a discharge end and a feeding end; sucking out leaked vapor and dust by means of the negative regions; and cooling down the active coke regeneration apparatus by using gas flow generated by the negative pressure. Moreover, the present invention provides a device for implementing the method as described above.
