Method of bioconversion of industrial or agricultural cellulose containing wastes

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS With reference to FIG.
1, schematically presented there is a flow chart for implementation of the present invention by virtue of a system comprising the following main units: a tank 1 with water solution of mineral salts for moisturizing of organic wastes, a fermenter 2 with aqueous solution suitable for the cultivation of microorganisms required for effecting the bio-conversion of organic wastes, a preparation unit 3 for receiving the row wastes, comminuting and moisturizing thereof, mixing with the starting culture and with other components and homogenizing, a packaging unit 4 for placing the mixture into appropriate plastic containers, a sealing unit 5 for vacuum tight sealing of containers and a storage/fermentation unit 6 for storing sealed containers and fermentation of the biomass packed therein.
The utilization of organic wastes containing cellulose and the transfer thereof into a nutrition product suitable for animal feed is carried out in accordance with the present invention as follows.
Vegetable wastes, for example, wheat straw are brought to preparation unit 1 and are ground up therein to particles size 1.
0-1.
5 cm.
Then the liquid solution of the starting culture from fermenter 2 and aqueous solution of mineral salts from tank 1 are added to the contents of the preparation unit.
Upon moistening of wastes up to 60-65% the mixture is homogenized within the preparation unit and is forwarded therefrom to packaging unit 4 for placing into polyethylene bags and then to sealing unit 5 for vacuum tight sealing.
From this point the sealed bags are transported to a storage/fermentation unit where appropriate humidity and temperature 18-30.
degree.
C.
are kept so as to effect fermentation of the mass within sealed bags under the exclusion of air for 1-10 days up to the obtaining of a proteinaceous nutrition product.
The final product can be stored in sealed bags for 1 year.
In the diagram the preparation unit is shown as a single unit, in which comminuting, moisturizing, mixing with starting culture and homogenizing of the mixture are carried out
