This invention provides a method for thermally converting volatile fatty acid (VFA) salts to ketones by mixing dry calcium salts of VFAs with hot heat transfer agent in an evacuated container, thereby causing thermal decomposition of the calcium salts of VFAs to form ketone-containing vapor and calcium carbonate; and separating the ketone-containing vapor from the calcium carbonate and heat transfer agent by condensing a mixture of ketones from the ketone-containing vapor. This invention also provides a process for conversion of VFA salts, produced by anaerobic fermentation of cellulosic biomass, into liquid fuels, volatile fatty acids, aldehydes, alcohols and lactic acid.
L'invention concerne un procédé de conversion thermique de sels d'acides gras volatils (VFA) en cétones, ce qui consiste à mélanger des sels de calcium secs de ces acides gras volatils avec un agent chaud de transfert thermique dans un réservoir sous vide, ce qui provoque la décomposition thermique des sels de calcium des acides gras volatils et produit de la vapeur contenant des cétones et du carbonate de calcium; puis à séparer la vapeur contenant des cétones du carbonate de calcium et de l'agent de transfert thermique par condensation d'un mélange de cétones provenant la vapeur contenant les cétones. Elle concerne également un procédé servant à effectuer la conversion de sels d'acides gras volatils (VFA), produits par fermentation anaérobie de biomasse cellulosique, en combustibles liquides, acides gras volatils, aldéhydes, alcools et acide lactique.
