example 1

[0023]In this example, 1.768 kilograms of corn oil is mixed with 260 grams of sodium hydroxide in 2 liters of water and added to a soap making container and the mixture is stirred until it thickens to the consistancy of pudding and heated covered at 72 degrees centigrade for 3 hours with stirring every 20 minutes. This makes 1.824 kilograms of soap. 2 liters of water is added and the soap solution is added to an electrolysis container and 85 amperes of direct current is passed through the electrolysis container for 2 hours. This produces a mixture of 504 grams of sodium bicarbonate and 1422 grams of a mixture of the petroleum product and various oxidation products of the petroleum product such as an alcohol. This mixture is transferred to a settling container and allowed to stand for 6 hours until the soluble and insoluble components separate. The sodium bicarbonate solution is removed from the bottom of the settling container and discarded. The petroleum products are then removed a...

example 2

[0024]In this example, 1.768 kilograms of corn oil is mixed with 414 grams of potassium Carbonate in 2.67 liters of water and added to a soap making container and the mixture is stirred until it reaches the consistancy of pudding. It is then heated at 72 degrees centigrade for 3 hours with stirring every 10 minutes to make 1.824 kilograms of soap. The soap is mixed with 2 liters of water and the solution is added to an electrolysis container and 85 amperes of direct current is passed through the electrolysis container for 2 hours.

[0025]This produces a mixture of 600 grams of potassium bicarbonte and 1422 grams of a mixture of the petroleum products and various oxidation products. This mixture is transferred to a settling container and allowed to stand for 6 hours until the two liquids separate. The potassium bicarbonate solution is removed from the bottom of the settling container and discarded. The petroleum product is then removed and transferred to another container.

example 3

[0026]In this example, 1.768 kilograms of corn oil is mixed with 200 grams of 31% sulfuric acid and heated at boiling for 4 hours. This produces a mixture of 1.704 kilograms of organic acids and 184 grams of glycerin. The mixture is then transferred to a settling container to allow the organic acids to rise to the top. The settling container is allowed to stand for 6 hours until complete separation of the mineral acid solution and the organic acids is acheived. The Liquid containing the sulfuric acid and glycerin is removed from the bottom using a tap at the bottom. The organic acids are then transferred, using a pump assembly to a soap making container. 318 grams of sodium carbonate disolved in 2 liters of water is added to the soap making container and the mixture is heated at 72 degrees centigrade for 3 hours to make 1.824 kilograms of soap. The soap and 2 liters of water are added to an electrolysis container and 85 amperes of direct current is passed through the electrolysis co...

Abstract

Synthetic petroleum components are produced by electrolysis of soap and or salts made from materials comprising (a) vegetable oil and / or (b) animal fat and / or (c) esters and / or (d) organic acids by reacting these materials ((a) and / or (b) and / or (c) and / or (d) with any combination of materials (e) sodium Hydroxide(lye) and / or (f) soda ash (sodium carbonate) and / or (g) the potassium equivalents of the sodium compounds. Two possible products of the present invention are ethane (a possible replacement for methane in natural gas) and custom made synthetic lubricating oils made from algae in relatively pure form.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This invention is a continuation of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61268170 filed on Jun. 09, 2009 which is included here.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It was discovered shortly after the begining of the twentieth century, that electrolysis of soap or acetic acid causes decarboxylation followed by the creation of free radicals composed of the carbon ligand of the organic acid part of the soap. Two free radicals then join to make a petroleum hydrocarbon.[0003]It has been found in recent years, that the burning of fossil fuels produces global warming because of the addition of carbon dioxide from millions of years ago to today's carbon dioxide. Also, sources of fossil fuels are becoming harder to develop. Therefore there exists a need for replacements for fossil fuels and other products of the petroleum industry.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention addresses the foregoing need by providing a method of making petroleum components usin...
