ABSTRACT:
A process for the conversion of cellulose and lignin organic waste materials into a more digestible and manageable form. The process includes reducing, if necessary, the cellulose or lignin organic waste material to a size to 2 inches or less. An acid selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and mixtures thereof is admixed with about 40 to about 60 percent by weight of the organic waste material. Before, after or simultaneously with such admixing steps, a base selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide and mixtures thereof is admixed with the remainder of the organic waste material. The acidified waste material is mixed and reacted with the basified organic waste material, a more digestible form of said organic waste material resulting. About 80 to 120 parts by weight of the acidified organic waste material is used per 100 parts by weight of the basified organic waste material. Water is converted to steam by heat of such reaction provided the reaction mixture contains about 20 to 60 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the reaction mixture, of water. The reacted mixture is formed into pellets, cubes, blocks or other similar forms.
