This disclosure pertains to the use of black liquors from kraft pulp mills as a source of catalysts for the thermochemical conversion of organic matter feedstocks to bio oils. More particularly, some embodiments pertain to integrated kraft pulp mill and thermochemical conversion systems, which include: a Kraft pulp mill comprising a digester for digesting a lignocellulosic material with white liquor to produce pulp and black liquors; a thermochemical conversion subsystem comprising: at least one mixing tank for combining pulping liquors received from the pulp mill with an organic matter feedstock and water to produce a reaction mixture; a reactor vessel for treating the reaction mixture received from the mixing tank at a reaction temperature and pressure suitable for conversion of all or a portion of the organic matter in the reaction mixture into a product mixture comprising a bioproduct and an aqueous stream containing both organic and inorganic compounds; and a depressurizer for depressurizing product mixture received from the reactor vessel; and one or more conveyors for conveying the pulping liquors from the pulp mill to the mixing tank.

The present invention relates to a process for oiling essentially organic starting products with a higher molecular weight, in which hydrocarbons, preferably in liquid or semi-solid form, and a residual material with a high carbon content are obtained by the impact of high temperatures.

A method for thermal processing and catalytic cracking of a biomass to effect distillate oil recovery can include, particle size reduction. slurrying the biomass with a carrier fluid to create a reaction mixture, slurrying a catalyst with a carrier fluid to create a catalyst slurry, heating the reaction mixture and/or the catalyst slurry, and depolymerizing the reaction mixture with the catalyst. The reaction mixture can undergo distillation and fractionation to produce distillate fractions that include naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. In some embodiments, thermal processing and catalytic cracking includes vaporization of the biomass followed by distillation and fractionation. In some embodiments, a resulting distillate can be used as a carrier fluid. In some embodiments, the method can include desulfurization, dehydration, and/or decontamination.

The present invention relates to a single mode or single dominating mode microwave reactor, a single dominating mode microwave reactor system and a method of producing fuel, such as biofuel.

Pyrolysis processes comprise contacting a waste polyolefin with a solid catalyst at a pyrolysis temperature to form a pyrolysis product containing C.sub.1-C.sub.10 hydrocarbons. In some instances, the solid catalyst can be a silica-coated alumina, a fluorided silica-coated alumina, or a sulfated alumina, while in other instances, the solid catalyst can be any suitable solid oxide or chemically-treated solid oxide that is characterized by a d50 average particle size from 5 to 12 ?m and a particle size span from 0.7 to 1.7. Hydrocarbon compositions are formed from the pyrolysis of waste polyolefins with specific amounts of methane and higher carbon number hydrocarbons.
