An organic waste recycling apparatus comprises: a catalyst for making the carbonization of an organic waste targeted for waste disposal; a UV irradiation member for irradiating UV at a wavelength capable of breaking a bond in a molecule constituting the organic waste; a processed object housing member whereof the interior space houses the catalyst; a heating member provided in the interior space; and a stirring member provided in the interior space. The organic waste is one that has undergone crushing into small pieces. The processed object housing member is such that the catalyst and the organic waste that has been UV-irradiated by the UV irradiation member and introduced into the interior space are in contact with one another and stirrable in this state by the stirring member.

An improved reactor vessel for processing (recycling and upcycling) of plastics includes a shear plate assembly disposed on a rotatable shaft concentrically disposed within a cylindrical reactor vessel. The shear plates are spaced from the vessel wall to generate a predetermined strain rate between the shear plate and the inner wall via Couette flow, enhancing efficiency of the reaction.

The invention relates to a method for the pyrolysis of a hydrocarbon-containing solid biomass for the obtention of liquid and/or gaseous energy carriers in the presence of a heat carrier, whereby a mixture of the heat carrier and the biomass is heated to the pyrolysis of the biomass. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the biomass is impregnated with a volatile, non-aqueous liquid before being mixed with the heat carrier.

The present technology is generally directed to providing beds of coking material to charge a coking oven. In various embodiments, a quantity of first particulate material, having a first particulate size and bulk density, is combined with a second particulate material, having a second particulate size and bulk density, to define a multi-modal bed of coking material. The multi-modal bed of coking material exhibits an optimized bulk density that is greater than an ideal bulk density predicted by a linear combination of the bulk densities of the individual materials.

Methods of separating products from the catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass are described. In a preferred method, a portion of the products from a pyrolysis reactor are recovered and separated using a quench system and solvent contacting system that employs materials produced in the pyrolysis process.
