Several method of Microwave assisted extraction of oils that we will use onoil/tar sandsand/or refuse plastic and/or rubber (eg. tires), bituminous coal, and/orbiomass, and/orkerosene and/or naphtha and/or propane and/or oil/tar sands with corn,eucalyptus, oil palm,and coconuts, maize, jatropha and other possibilities algae bagasse,miscanthus, sugar beet,sorghum, grain sorghum, switchgrass, barley, hemp, kenaf, potatoes, sweetpotatoes,cassava, sunflower, fruit, molasses, corn, stover, grain, wheat, straw,cotton, other biomass.One method/process add a non-aqueous organic extractant to the source material(with asome content that absorbs microwave radiation and mixing it with a solventthat istransparent to microwave radiation) and there is our newly invented tumbler toexpose themixture to microwave radiation. Then suddenly raise the temperature viamicrowave, cool itdown (that is has a more concentrated source of volatile oils), add moresource material andalternate back and forth (heat - cool).Co-solvents (dipole moment), some of which are, alkanes, hexane, carbontetrachloride,liquid CO2... (don't heat that much from microwaves and are microwavetransparent) so thesource material (heats up and releases oils) and the oils are cooled as theyare released intothe non-aqueous organic. For source materials that need rehydration we can useethanol,methanol, saline solutions, and other mixture of solvents.Other methods, is to suddenly raise the temperature via microwaves and applypressure untilthe source material's boundaries explodes. The microwave-transparentextraction mediumcools the substance that flows out of the source material.Extracants can be used singly, mixed or in a series (continuous).For the oil/tar sands in addition to hexane we plan to add deionized water. Wemay useimpregination of saline solution (eg. KCL).To extract plastic from garbage land fills and real time collections orprocessing we:1. Run agitated water to loosen the organic material, possibly use a tumblerto unstuckand remove caked together materials.2. Then further loosen and sifts larger pieces from smaller (biodegradablematerial; lessdurable, unlike plastic and metal of which are very durable and the largerpieces areof more economical use to us) by a grate the horizontally spins spilling outthe smallerpieces and possibly.3. Finally we run the processed material down an assembly line to separateplastic formmetal.4. We could use mixers of some type using flexible spatula like (spinning)blades thatwill tear large any pieces of less durable materials such as cardboard, whileleavinghunks of plastic (largely) undamaged.5. We could use Artificial Intelligence or sorter with a remote camera thatdecides if thematerial's contents are made up of what, such as cardboard versus plastic. Ifthere iscardboard (probably torn by the spatula mixer into smaller pieces) the batchcould bere-agitated with water and possibly the tumbler and the grate again6. The sorting in the assembly line work can done by automated (eg. robots runbyArtificial Intelligence) to sort between, plastic, glass and metal versustoxiccomponents of for example of computers.
