Title: Yang Guo and an Integrated Two-Stage Co-Liquefaction Apparatus.

Introduction

Yang Guo is an inventor associated with Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi’an, China. His patent work includes an apparatus designed to integrate mixing, reaction, filtration, and heat recovery in a two-stage hydrothermal liquefaction process.

Latest Patents

Guo is associated with 1 patent: “Two-stage co-liquefaction mixing-reaction-filtration-heat recovery integrated apparatus.” The invention supports a two-stage HTL process and uses nozzles, receiving chambers, mixing chambers, and diffusion chambers to promote collisions and mixing between high-speed fluids.

The apparatus recovers heat from the second-stage HTL product to supply heat to the first stage, with the aim of improving process efficiency. High-temperature, high-pressure needle valves allow operators to select first-stage reaction times according to material characteristics. The design also specifies first-stage reaction tubes inclined at 1–3 degrees, along with residue- and salt-scraping devices in the second-stage generation chamber.
