Process for enhanced production of desired hydrocarbons from biologically-derived compounds and bio-oils containing cyclic compounds by opening of aromatics and naphthenic ring-containing compounds

Patent Dagle, Vanessa; Albrecht, Karl O.; Dagle, Robert A.

A system and process for processing biologically-derived compounds or a complex bio-oil by converting cyclic compounds in a complex bio-oil or biologically-derived compounds to desired materials such as high molecular weight paraffins with minimal carbon loss by using a ring-contraction catalyst to selectively produce C5 ring containing compounds; and then reacting the C5 ring containing compounds with a C5 ring opening catalyst in a second reactor to minimize carbon loss via cracking reactions.

Combination biological and microwave treatments of used rubber products

Patent Fliermans, Carl B [Augusta, GA]; Wicks, George G [Aiken, SC]

A process and resulting product is provided in which a vulcanized solid particulate, such as vulcanized crumb rubber, has select chemical bonds altered by biotreatment with thermophillic microorganisms selected from natural isolates from hot sulfur springs. Following the biotreatment, microwave radiation is used to further treat the surface and to treat the bulk interior of the crumb rubber. The resulting combined treatments render the treated crumb rubber more suitable for use in new rubber formulations. As a result, larger loading levels and sizes of the treated crumb rubber can be used in new rubber mixtures and good properties obtained frommore » the new recycled products. « less
