Abstract
In a process for treating the organic fraction of solid waste and cellulosic material with acid to form an embrittled material reducible to a powdered material, increased embrittlement and grinding efficiency are obtained by including an embrittlement additive with the acid. The embrittlement additive is a quaternary ammonium compound. Increased efficiency is evidenced by a decrease in embrittlement temperature and an increase in the amount of embrittled material which will pass through a 40 mesh screen after grinding. The resulting product has a wide variety of uses including as a fuel, a fuel in combination with other fuels, as a building material and as a chemical feed stock, among other things.
