Abstract
The invention provides a process for producing synthetic crude petroleum from carbon compounds-organic wastes in virtue of hydrogenation using two natural catalysts instead of one or many costly industrial catalysts. The process recreates in industry natural conditions of petroleum formation as they existed millions of years ago. Using two natural catalysts, conversion of heterogeneous organic wastes is now not only possible but also profitable because production efficiency of synthetic crude is improved by more than 50%. While recycling unwanted heterogeneous organic wastes, the process has the advantage of producing a valuable product. Doing so, petrolisation is a permanent solution to organic waste problems and a permanent source of valuable crude.
Claims1
1- A method of producing a synthetic crude petroleum having the same chemical components as a natural crude petroleum from thermolysis-hydrogenation-deoxidization of heterogeneous carbon compounds called organic wastes or matters contained within a reactor comprising in combination:
- a) shredding the heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes to a size a diameter less than about 10 millimetres,
- b) drying the shredded heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes to about 10% humidity,
- c) mixing the shredded dried heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes with a size a diameter less than about 1 millimetre FeO-iron catalyst in proportions about 5% of total weight,
- d) mixing the shredded dried iron-catalyst-mixed heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes with a size a diameter less than about 1 millimetre NaCl-salt catalyst in proportions about 10% of total weight,
- e) injecting hydrogen gas into an oxygen-free reactor under constant pressures about 1850 p.s.i.,
- f) heating the shredded dried iron-salt-catalyst-mixed heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes to about 400° C.,
- g) thermolysing-hydrogenating the shredded dried iron-salt-catalyst-mixed heterogeneous carbon compounds-organic wastes during about 30 minutes causing formation of a synthetic crude petroleum,
- h) repeating the whole process using the formed synthetic crude petroleum as raw material,
- i) deoxidizing the repeated petrolisation formed synthetic crude petroleum with a sulfuric acid.
