The proposed device (1) and methods of processing biomass for the manufacture of charcoal, activated carbon, bio-oil or bio-oil, re-enriched with carbon coal or coke nut using microwave energy. The device comprises a pipe (5) which is rotatable for accommodating biomass (108) and an electromagnetic generator (7). According to one embodiment, the proposed method includes applying electromagnetic energy to the biomass (108) and the absorber (109). According to another embodiment, secondary electromagnetic energy generated by a black body radiation field is used for processing and introducing biomass (108) with a black body radiation field and electromagnetic energy. According to another embodiment, the method includes the step of exciting plasma and introducing biomass into contact with plasma and electromagnetic energy. According to another embodiment, the method includes the steps of placing the biomass in the second container (205), placing the second container in the first reaction container (5), applying electromagnetic energy to the biomass and the absorber (109), exciting the plasma in the first reaction container heating the biomass placed in a second container. |
