Abstract

The invention relates to a sliding grate (100) for a combustion furnace (101), comprising multiple grate bar rows (2a, 2b), each of which has a grate bar support (5a, 5b), multiple grate bars (3a, 3b) being connected to said grate bar support via first ends (4a, 4b) of the grate bars, wherein surfaces (7a, 7b) of the grate bars (3a, 3b) form a grate bar surface (8) for transporting a layer of fuel (1) along a flow direction (F), and the grate bars (3a, 3b) of adjacent grate bar rows (2a, 2b) lie one over the other in the manner of roof tiles such that the second end (6a, 6b) of each grate bar (3a, 3b) is supported on a surface (7a, 7b) of an adjacent grate bar (3a, 3b) in the flow direction (F). At least some of the grate bar rows (2a, 2b) are grate bar rows (2a) which are driven by a driving means (9), and a first drive movement (A1) can be introduced into the grate bars (3a) of the driven grate bar rows (2a) via the driving means (9) so that a relative movement is produced between the grate bars (3a) of the driven grate bar rows (2a) and the grate bars (3b) of the non-driven grate bar rows (2b). According to the invention, the surfaces (7a, 7b) of the grate bars (3a, 3b) of at least some grate bar rows (2a, 2b) have a nonplanar surface contour (13a, 13b) such that a second drive movement (A2) can be introduced into the grate bars (3a, 3b) that have second ends (6a, 6b) supported on the nonplanar surface contour (13a, 13b) as a result of the relative movement between the grate bars (3a, 3b) of driven and non-driven grate bar rows (2a, 2b).

Abstract

A method for producing ethanol comprises: a first fermentation step of carrying out fermentation by fed-batch culture in such a manner that yeast having an ability to utilize xylose is cultured while adding a saccharification liquor derived from a lignocellulose-type biomass to a fermentation vessel; and a second fermentation step of halting the addition of the saccharification liquor at a time point where the volume of the saccharification liquor added reaches a predetermined volume and then carrying out fermentation by batch culture. In the method, the rate of the feeding of the saccharification liquor to the yeast in the first fermentation step is controlled by adjusting the sugar consumption rate of the yeast, and the sugar consumption rate of the yeast is greater than or equal to a largest sugar consumption rate at which the remaining of glucose or xylose in the liquid culture medium does not occur (excluding a sugar consumption rate range in which the remaining of glucose or xylose in the liquid culture medium does not occur) and smaller than or equal to the maximum sugar consumption rate of the yeast.

Abstract

The temperature difference (cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference) between a cooling water inlet side temperature and a cooling water outlet side temperature for a cooling water pathway (11) provided for each roll disposition position in which an upper and lower pair of rolls (8) is disposed is found for each roll disposition position. A regression equation that expresses the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference in a range from a first roll disposition position to an nth roll disposition position is found from the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature differences for each roll disposition position. The cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference for each roll is calculated from the regression equation and set as a corrected cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference. A thermal expansion correction value is found at each roll disposition position from the corrected cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference for each roll and the relationship, which is found in advance, between the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference and the total value for the amount of thermal expansion (combined value for thermal expansion for frame (9) and thermal expansion for continuous casting piece). The amount of reducing by each roll is corrected on the basis of the thermal expansion correction value at each roll disposition position.

Abstract

A start-up method of a bubble column slurry bed reactor for producing hydrocarbons includes: a first step that fills into a reactor a slurry in which a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction catalyst particles are suspended in a slurry preparation oil with a 5% distillation point of 120 to 270° C., a 95% distillation point of 330 to 650° C., and a sulfur component and an aromatic component of 1 mass ppm or less, and a second step that, in a state where synthesis gas that is primarily hydrogen and carbon monoxide is introduced into the slurry filled into the reactor, raises the temperature of the reactor and starts the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. As the slurry preparation oil, one containing predetermined components in preset amounts is used. In the first step, the slurry is filled into the reactor in an amount in which airborne droplets do not flow out.

Abstract

 The objective of the present invention is to provide: a catalyst which has relatively low gas product selectivity for methane, etc., and which is not susceptible to runaway and does not clog flow paths, even when productivity in a microchannel reactor is set to be high; a method for manufacturing the catalyst; and a catalyst for manufacturing light hydrocarbons from syngas using the former catalyst. This catalyst for manufacturing a light hydrocarbon from syngas is characterized by having an average particle size of at most 400μm and by containing both a catalyst that contains a metallic compound that is active in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the catalyst being active in an exothermic reaction for generating a hydrocarbon from a syngas, and a catalyst that is active in an endothermic reaction for decomposing the generated hydrocarbon and producing a light hydrocarbon therefrom.
