Catalytic processes for manufacturing gasoline, fuel oil, diesel fuel, etc., and ways for productively utilizing relatively low grade heat from this and other sources

Abstract

Improvements in the catalytic processing of organic compounds for fuels and for other uses, and ways in order to better utilize the heat from the above processing and also from other sources.

I claim:  
     
         1 . The paper use of sludge from papermaking, paper recycling, and other sources to make insulation via drying and/or other means.  
     
     
         2 . Having air, oxygen, and/or oxygen containing compounds in the feed stock to catalytic cracking units in order to prevent carbon build-up on the catalysts and/or to insure/increase the oxygenate content in the output.  
     
     
         3 . The use of various metal, metal oxide, metal carbonate, metal silicate, metal aluminate, and like catalysts to convert organic acids in a feed stock into ketones, aldehydes, etc. for fuel and similar uses, etc.  
     
     
         4 . The invention of  claim 3  used upon vegetable oils, animal oils and greases, fats, rendering plant wastes, etc.  
     
     
         5 . The use of vegetable oils, Animal oils and greases, fats, rendering plant wastes, etc. as part or all of the feed stock for the catalytic cracking units of  claim 2 .  
     
     
         6 . The use of heat from the invention of  claim 2  for making sand-lime brick.  
     
     
         7 . The use of heat from the invention of  claim 3  for making sand-lime brick.  
     
     
         8 . The use of heat from the invention of  claim 2  to manufacture insulation.  
     
     
         9 . The use of heat from  claim 3  to manufacture insulation.  
     
     
         10 . The use of the invention in  claim 3  as part of a cooler, condenser, and/or scrubber.
