Title: Hitoshi Hayashi and Biomass-Derived Liquefied Fuel Oil
Introduction
Hitoshi Hayashi is an inventor associated with Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha in Toyota, Japan. His patent work addresses a method for converting biomass into liquefied fuel oil.
Latest Patents
Hayashi is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Producing Liquefied Fuel Oil Using Biomass as Feedstock.” The invention aims to produce fuel oil efficiently while balancing the liquefaction of water-insoluble lignin and water-soluble cellulose. It uses a solvent comprising an organic solvent, with moisture adjusted to 10–25 percent by weight, including moisture in the biomass. The biomass is liquefied at 250–350°C. The method is designed to achieve a high fuel-oil yield from the biomass solids while limiting ash from alkali catalysts and other sources, using a relatively inexpensive liquefaction apparatus.
Career Highlights
Hayashi’s listed invention focuses on biomass conversion and fuel production. Its approach specifies both the moisture content of the feedstock-solvent mixture and the processing temperature as key conditions for liquefaction.
Collaborations
Hayashi’s listed coworkers include Tsutomu Sakai and Hitoshi Nakajima. The patent is associated with Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha.
Conclusion
Hitoshi Hayashi’s patent describes a controlled biomass-liquefaction process intended to produce fuel oil at high yield while keeping equipment costs and ash content low.
