Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To recover gas or liquid useful as raw material for fuel or organic synthesis from low-value or waste materials, by placing a mixture of an organic material and a water solution of an alkali at high temperature and pressure so that it may undergo hydrolysis and decarboxylation. CONSTITUTION:A mixture of an organic material such as coal, organic waste such as pulp waste liquor, soil water or sewage sludge, wood, paddy straw and bamboo, and a water solution of an alkali is placed under high temperature and high pressure to cause hydrolysis and decarboxylation. The method accelerates the hydrolysis fo the organic material, addition of hydrogen and hydroxyl group, separation of carbon and oxygen from the organic material in the form of carbon dioxide and increase of the hydrogen content. Liquefaction proceeds without the use of costly hydrogen and composition of the recovered product can be varied by controlling conditions of heating. Thus the condition of reaction may be established according to the aimed product, i.e. 250-350 deg.C for increased yield of oily substance and 400 deg.C for increased yield of natural gas-like gas.
