Systems and methods for producing methanol are provided. A reformer feed gas including methane and carbon dioxide is provided to a methane reformer, which produces a synthesis gas. The synthesis gas includes a first portion of hydrogen, a second portion of carbon monoxide, and a third portion of carbon dioxide. The methane is present in the reformer feed gas in an amount of between 20 volume percent (vol %) and 90 vol % and the carbon dioxide is present in the reformer feed gas in an amount of between 10 vol % and 80 vol %. The synthesis gas is subjected to a methanol synthesis reactor. The methanol synthesis reactor is utilized to produce a methanol product and a purge gas stream from the synthesis gas.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a centralized treatment device for kitchen waste. The centralized treatment device includes an upper box, an outer cover, a pulverizer, an inner cover, a filter press, a drying granulator, a lower box, an electrolysis device, a hanging basket, a material box, an exhaust fan, and a linkage mechanism. Smashed kitchen waste is subjected to solid-liquid separation by the filter press. Filter residues enter the drying granulator to be partially carbonized, and partially carbonized filter residues and mixed powder treatment agent form solid residue particles. The solid residue particles degrade and adsorb pollutants in the water after being activated by an acidic solution. Meanwhile, accumulated water-absorbing solid residue particles help to degrade the pollutants in the water through the electrolysis device. A separation area is configured to separate oil and discharge the oil separately.

A removable device for collecting, storing and transporting waste, comprises, in a flow direction of the waste: a device for delivering the waste, a hopper, a device for transferring the materials received in the hopper, a storage tank arranged to store the transferred materials and operating anaerobically in a storage configuration, and arranged to receive the transferred materials in a filling configuration, a device for emptying the tank, which device is arranged to empty the storage tank, the hopper being arranged to direct the waste from the delivery device to the transfer device, the transfer device being arranged to directly transfer the materials received from the hopper to the storage tank, the transfer device being at a positive pressure in the flow direction of the waste.

A liquification system for an organic waste management system includes a hopper that is oriented vertically such that organic waste added to the hopper is biased by gravity toward a bottom end of the hopper; an agitator that is disposed within the hopper and is movable in a first rotational direction that moves organic waste downward and in a second rotational direction that moves organic waste upward; a motor configured to selectively move the agitator in the first and second rotational directions under control of the controller; and a side grinding and drainage system disposed toward the bottom end of the hopper and preferably on a tapered portion of the hopper for grinding and liquefying organic waste.

The present disclosure broadly relates to processes for preparing iron and ferro-alloys using coffee as a source of carbon.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and selectively dried product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An algorithm is used to control the conversion of organic input to organic output by progressing through processing states based, in part, on time windows, runtimes, and sensor data.

The present invention relates to an organic waste treatment apparatus consisting of a garbage receiving unit, a probing door, a garbage compactor unit, a crushing unit fixed to the upper part of the structure frame, a mixing unit positioned underneath the crushing unit, a motor that drives all movements of the apparatus using belt drive and gear drive, and a control panel controlling the functions of this device.

An automated food waste processing system including an enclosure secured to prevent unauthorized access to contents contained therein, the enclosure including a plurality of exterior walls and a food waste processing system housed within the enclosure. The food waste processing system including an imaging system configured to capture a plurality of images of the food waste and the non-biodegradable material received by the sorting receptacle, a processing system configured to process the plurality of images using a trained neural network to identify at least plastic waste and metal waste as the non-biodegradable material when included in the food waste input stream as received by the sorting receptacle, and a sorting system configured to, in response to instructions received from the processing system, automatically locate and remove the non-biodegradable material from the sorting receptacle to create a bio-degradable input stream to the anaerobic digester.

The present disclosure discloses a device for rapidly processing kitchen waste into an organic fertilizer, including a box; a crushing mechanism, where the crushing mechanism includes a fixed cutter set, a rotating shaft and a moving cutter set, the fixed cutter set is fixedly arranged on an inner wall of the box, the rotating shaft is arranged in middle of a bottom of the box, the moving cutter set is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft, the moving cutter set includes a plurality of moving cutters, and the moving cutter set and the fixed cutter set move relative to each other to grind the kitchen waste; a heating mechanism, where the heating mechanism is arranged in the box, and is configured to heat the kitchen waste; and a deodorizing mechanism, where the deodorizing mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the box, and is configured to deodorize the kitchen waste.

The present invention provides methods for preparing the nut waste composites from a nut waste component, one or more binders, and an oil using a compounder/extruder.
