Embodiment Construction

[0005] This present invention provides a novel processing method for producing mixing fuels from plant or animal lipids by cracking carbon and carbon bonds in plant or animal lipids, chemical treatments, and distillating the mixing fuels. Then the issues such as viscosity, molecular weight, boiling point, pollution, and burning performance with biodiesel can be resolved.

[0006] Plant or animal lipids are such as glyceryl trialkanoates (is also called triglycerides), carboxylic acids (free fatty acids), phospholipids, glycolipids, and terpenes. A glyceryl trialkanoate is made by three fatty acids and one glycerol in the molecular formula. There are saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. For unsaturated fatty acids, there are unsaturated (double) carbon-carbon bonds. A phospholipid is made by two fatty acids, one phosphoric acid, and one glycerol in the molecular formula. Terpenes such as essential oil and natural rubber have unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds and branched methyl groups ...

Abstract

A novel method for producing fuel products from plant or animal lipids is provided. The carbon-carbon bonds in the molecules of plant or animal lipids are cracked into the molecules with smaller molecular weights. The mixed fuel is formed after chemical treatments. Then the mixed fuel (biopetroleum) is processed by a distillation process to produce fuel products according to their boiling points. The method is particularly advantageous to produce the energy source from agricultural products, which provides a solution for energy crisis with a significant potential.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This present invention relates to a novel processing method for producing fuels from plant or animal lipids by cracking carbon and carbon bonds in plant or animal lipids and distillating the mixing fuels after chemical treatments. [0002] The energy crisis of recent years has been a significant challenge. Petroleum is a complex mixture of organic compounds, most of which are alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Petroleum also contains small amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing compounds. The primary use of alkanes is as an energy source. Different fraction products are obtained after a distillation process. Most fuels that we use are natural gas, petroleum ester, ligroin, gasoline, kerosene / jet fuel, fuel oil / diesel oil, and lubrication oil. Natural gas fraction contains 1-4 carbons in the molecular formula with the boiling point below 20 degree C. Petroleum ester fraction contains 5-6 carbons in the molecular formula with the boiling po...
