PEAT LIQUID FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C10G1/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to production of liquid fuel applied in local municipal combustion boilers. Described is peat liquid fuel production method involving peat preparation and hydrogenation. According to the invention peat is prepared through making peat pulp of humidity 87-99%, which is thereafter dispersed within 1-10 min. Hydrogenation is actually hydrogen barbotage of peat pulp with platinum or platinum-palladium catalyst added within 5-180 min with dispersion in process. Dispersion and hydrogenation are carried out at temperature 293-450 K° and pressure 1-15 atm. Hydrogenation is followed by pulp precipitation and separation into liquid fuel and unreacted agents. To activate peat pulp, prior to dispersion it is added with alcohol in amount 25-35 vl % and/or 0.1 n NaOH solution in amount 0.01-0.02 wt %.

EFFECT: decrease in power consumption of process of manufacture at 5-10 time and reduction in value.
