ABSTRACT:
The reactor pump for hydrolytic splitting of cellulose is configured to pump cellulose, under high pressure, with low availability of sugar into a reactor. The reactor has an upstream transition segment connected to a downstream reaction chamber. The transition segment has an inlet that is smaller than the outlet. The inner walls taper outward. The chamber has an inlet that is larger than the discharge outlet. The inner walls taper inward. The transition segment outlet has an area that is substantially the same as the area of the chamber inlet. Back pressure in the chamber forms a cellulose plug within the inlet of the transition segment. The plug stops cellulose from escaping out the inlet. High pressure pumping forms a cellulose plug within the discharge outlet of the chamber. The plug slows downstream movement of the cooking cellulose giving the cellulose time to cook. Cooking cellulose begins to breakdown under heat and the injection of acid, if required. The outer surface of the plug is cooked faster than the inner core and in the process the faster cooking portion of the plug becomes a liquefied slurry. The slurry lies between the inwardly tapering chamber walls and the less cooked inner core. The slurry slides faster towards the discharge outlet than does the inner core. As the slurry moves downstream in the chamber, the surface of the inner core moves to the walls and in turn is liquefied. Cellulose may be pre-treated prior to entry in the reactor by the addition of water and a weak acid such as sulfuric or ammonium. The cellulose may be granulated to provide more surface area to assist break down in the reactor.
