ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for in situ biological beneficiation of peat and hydraulic harvesting of organic carbonaceous material from a peat deposit. The process is particularly suitable for production of hydrocarbon fuel from peat wherein peat is contact in situ in a peat deposit with an aqueous solution of hydrolysis promoting agent hydrolyzing organic carbonaceous components of the peat to produce hydrolysis products, passing the hydrolysis products to an active fermentation zone in situ in the peat deposit to produce fermentation products, passing the fermentation products, remaining hydrolysis products and organic carbonaceous materials leached from the peat by the aqueous solution to a biological or chemical process for conversion to hydrocarbon fuel. This process provides peat deposit management while providing beneficiation of the carbonaceous material for improved conversion efficiency by chemical or biological conversion to hydrocarbon liquid or gaseous fuels.
