Fuels and ignition aids made of modified, renewable raw materials

Abstract

A fuel is described comprising a material containing cellulose or hemicellulose as well as of fats and/or oils stemming from secondary or cascade utilization or containing these, wherein the fats and oils are obtained by processing waste and recycling materials.

1 . A fuel, comprising:
 (i) a material containing cellulose or hemicellulose and (ii) one or more oils or fats, wherein the one or more oils and fats are sourced from waste and recycling materials stemming from secondary or cascade utilization and have been hydrogenated prior to combining with the cellulose or hemicellulose.   
     
     
         2 . The fuel according to  claim 1 , the waste and recycling materials are selected from the group consisting of: used cooking fats, returns and reject batches stemming from the food and cosmetics industries, used vegetable oils, animal fats from slaughterhouse waste, and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The fuel according to  claim 1 , wherein, in addition to hydrogenation, the waste and recycling materials undergo chemical, or physical or both chemical and physical processing. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The fuel according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more oils and fats are derived from materials classified as C1, C2 or C3 under EU Regulation 1774/2002. 
     
     
         6 . The fuel according to  claim 1 , wherein the material containing cellulose or hemicellulose is selected from the group consisting of: wood residues, waste and recycling matter from grasses ( Poaceae ), waste and recycling matter from sedges ( Cyperaceae ), grain cultivation or grain processing, and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The fuel according to  claim 6 , wherein the waste and recycling materials from grain cultivation or grain processing include chaff, threshing waste, chips, dust, flour or straw. 
     
     
         8 . The fuel according to  claim 7 , in the form of a rope made of straw. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A method for the production of a fuel, comprising:
 mixing a material containing cellulose or hemicellulose or both cellulose and hemicellulose with oils or fats or both oils and fats that have been hydrogenated prior to mixing.   
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The method for the production of a fuel of  claim 12 , wherein mixing is by immersing the material containing cellulose or hemicellulose or both cellulose and hemicellulose into the oils or fats or both oils and fats. 
     
     
         16 . The method for the production of a fuel of  claim 12 , wherein mixing is by spraying the material containing cellulose or hemicellulose or both cellulose and hemicellulose with oils or fats or both oils and fats. 
     
     
         17 . The method for the production of a fuel of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 prior to hydrogenating,   liquefying the oils or fats or both oils and fats;   filtering the liquified oils or fats or both oils and fats;   enriching the filtered and liquified oils or fats or both oils and fats by sorption; and   distilling the filtered and liquified oils or fats or both oils and fats.
