Apparatus and method in converting municipal solid waste into geo-polymer briquettes and geo-polymer bricks comprising bag opener cum crushers, magnetic separators for ferrous and-eddy current separators for non-ferrous things; squeezer for removing liquid content; inter particle collision driers for drying; pulverizer for pulverizing, and devolatizing carbonization reactor for carbonisation of combustible MSW to produce solid char with low water content. Solid char is mixed with geo-polymer binding agent/starch/tar/to form combustible pellet/briquette. These highly combustible briquette/pellets have high calorific value. The pellet/briquette is formed by rotating combustible char at high rpm and compaction. Pellet has a water content of less than 5% by weight and fuel value of 5500 to 6500 KCAL. This process produces non-combustible geo-polymer brick. The non-combustible MSW separated by a trommel is crushed by inter particle collision crusher and pan mixers mixing with geo-polymer binding agent/fly ash/quarry dust/chips or china clay and moulded.

A device for speeding up production rate of biomass pyrolysis gas to prepare nanoscale silica materials. The device includes: a screw feeder; a mixer; a pyrolysis device having a cinder hole; a combustion train; a steam generator; and a calcination device. In operation, biomass material is transported to the mixer via the screw feeder. The mixer operates to stir the biomass material, then the biomass material and overheated steam generated by the steam generator are mixed and introduced to the pyrolysis device. The pyrolysis device operates to produce combustible gas, and the combustible gas is combusted in the combustion train. The combustion train produces hot smoke, and the hot smoke heats the steam generator to produce the overheated steam. The cinder hole is disposed at a bottom of the pyrolysis device and operates to discharge cinder, and the cinder is transported to the calcination device to calcine.
