P-11 Development of an energy conservation high-impact pulverizing mill for biomass

Abstract

The objective of this R&D was to develop an energy conserving high-impact pulverizing mill, which replaces the ball medium with a cog-ring medium called "tandem-ring". It is used for effective pretreatment when the bio-ethanol was produced from the lignocellulosic biomass. To achieve this, the authors developed a horizontal, unidirectional shaker that reduced the required driving power in element examination. To verify the effect of the unidirectional shaking in a horizontal direction, a comparative test of horizontal shaking vs. circular shaking was carried out. The authors observed an energy conservation effect when horizontal shaking was performed.
