MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517081184 A) filed by Suncoal Industries Gmbh, Ludwigsfelde, Germany, on Aug. 27, for 'dry-granulation of particulate carbon material and agglomerates produced thereby.'
Inventor(s) include Podschun, Jacob; Stucker, Alexander; Luder, Ulf; Schmaucks, Gerd; Wittmann, Tobias; Diehl, Florian; Leschinsky, Moritz; Hubsch, Christian; and Miettinen, Mauno.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a method for producing an agglomerated particulate carbon material, wherein said method comprises providing a particulate carbon starting material comprising or consisting of hydrothermally treated lignin particles, the particulate carbon starting material having a particle size = 500 m; compacting the particulate carbon starting material by applying a compaction force, thereby forming a compacted particulate carbon material; crushing the thus obtained compacted particulate carbon material, thus forming a crushed compacted carbon material; subjecting the crushed compacted carbon material to at least one granulator, thus further reducing the size of the crushed compacted carbon material, and forming a mixture of agglomerated particulate carbon material having a particle size 500 m and = 5000 m, and a particulate carbon material, having a particle size = 500 m; and removing particulate carbon material having a particle size = 500 m and 5000 m, if present, from the agglomerated particulate carbon material having a particle size in the range of 500 m and = 5000 m. The invention further relates to the agglomerated particulate carbon material, which is obtainable according to the method, its use in polymeric material as well as the polymeric material comprising particulate carbon material formed from the agglomerated particulate carbon material."
The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 01, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/052468.
