Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9503374A1] A process and a plant for the improvement of the chemical-physical and technological properties of fuels, in particular bio-fuels and pyrolysis oils obtained from biomass or industrial or municipal wastes is suggested. The fuel obtained by thermochemical convertion processes in a reactor (1) is subjected to an electron irradiation or electron stimulation activation process by means of electrostatic accelerator (10) or other equivalent means, such as silent dielectric discharge or pulsed streamer corona discharges. This plasma-chemical treatment induces complex chemical reducing/oxidising mechanisms in the fuel under treatment with improvement of its characteristics.
