Method for obtaining a wax from a pyrolysis residue

Abstract

A method for obtaining a wax from a pyrolysis residue includes providing the pyrolysis residue, where the pyrolysis residue includes the wax and a solid material, and where the solid material includes an inorganic salt, a ceramic raw material, an asphaltene, a tar and/or a coke. A solvent is added to the pyrolysis residue to obtain a high-solid mixture with the solid material and the solvent, where the wax is at least partially dissolved in the solvent, and at least a portion of the solid material is separated from the high-solid mixture to obtain a low-solid mixture. The method also includes separating at least a portion of the wax from the low-solid mixture. A device is described for obtaining a wax from a pyrolysis residue using the method.
