CATALYST FOR THERMAL CRACKING OF VEGETABLE AND MINERAL OILS, PLASTICS, RUBBERS AND DEHYDRATION OF CASTOR OIL

摘要

A Catalyst is produced, based on humic substances, that allows the accomplishment of thermal-catalytic cracking reactions of vegetable and mineral oils and of polymers such as plastics and natural or synthetic rubbers, where the reactions occur at temperatures below 400 °C, as well as the process of dehydration of the castor oil. The preparation of the compound called 'Catalyst' is based on a chemical reaction of humic substances in the presence of a base, preferably NH4OH.
