Waste animal fats (WAF) can be converted into distillate fractions similar to petroleum solvents and used as biofuels or in other applications through pyrolysis and fractional distillation. The distillate fractions from the pyrolysis of triglycerides exhibit adequate viscosity and volatility compared to petroleum-derived fuels but show acid values between 60-140 mg KOH/g, preventing their direct use as biofuels without considerable purification of the distilled fractions. Diluted petroleum asphalt (DPA), used for priming soil in the construction of flexible pavement, requires adequate viscosity, volatility, and penetration, and the distillate fractions from WAF pyrolysis oil can be used as partial or full substitutes for the standard solvent (kerosene) in DPA production. The aim of this study was to test the compliance of DPAs prepared by substituting kerosene with bio-oil fractions from WAF according to DPA standards. First, WAF is obtained from meat waste through the rendering process. Then, WAF is subjected to pyrolysis in a semi-batch fixed-bed reactor (2L), and the resulting bio-oil is fractionally distilled into gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fractions. The pyrolysis process is analyzed concerning the type of reactor used, with a focus on the influence of temperature and reaction time, as well as the distillation profile. The distilled fractions are characterized by density, viscosity, and acid value before being used in the preparation of DPAs by partial and/or total (0-40% by weight) substitution of standard kerosene. The mixtures were tested for kinematic and Saybolt-Furol viscosity, flash point, and penetration, according to road pavement standards. The results showed that the kerosene and diesel fractions from WAF can be adequately used in the preparation of DPAs as a total substitute for the petroleum kerosene typically used.

The species Piper aduncum L. is a shrubby plant, popularly known in the Amazon as monkey-pepper (spiked pepper). An essential oil, rich in dillapiol, can be extracted from this plant, which is of great economic interest for its insecticidal and pesticide action in agriculture. This biopesticide is an alternative to replace synthetic insecticides as it is from natural origin and does not cause damage to the environment and human health. In this paper the physical properties of the essential oil of spiked pepper were analyzed. The oil was obtained by steam distillation which showed mean values of refractive index of 1.516 and specific mass 1.08 g/cm³. The fractional distillation of the essential oil was studied, in order to concentrate the compound of interest, thus, adding greater economic value and enabling its use in the production of new products. In this process a high purity compound is obtained. The assessment was performed using a mathematical model to evaluate the concentration of dillapiol at the bottom of the distillation flask by regression analysis as a function of operating time which set the experimental data very well. The analysis of the results suggests that the process of fractional distillation can be used to separate the useful constituents from the essential oils. This is only possible because the essential oils are constituted of several volatile organic compounds with different boiling points and steam pressures, making the separation viable. The highest content of dillapiol obtained experimentally by the method of fractional distillation was 95 %, operating under vacuum conditions (40 mmHg) and mean temperature of the column of 122 ºC, and the average yield obtained was 41 % (v/v).

In this paper the crude distillation process of the liquid organic product obtained in the catalytic cracking of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq) was studied in pilot scale , using the sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and red mud catalysts by varying the percentage of catalyst in 10% m/m and 15% m/m for the raw material used , an operating temperature of 450ºC in order to obtain fractions of biofuels (bio-gasoline, bio-kerosene and bio-oil) similar to fuels derived from being fixed oil. The catalysts were subjected to a dehydration pre-treatment for 2 hours in an oven at 300°C, subsequently the XRD, IR and TG were performed. Regarding raw materials, physical and chemical analysis, aiming to characterize palm oil were performed. The organic liquid products (PLOs) were subjected to unit operations of separation, decanting and simple filtration bench scale should then be performed physical-chemical and compositional analyzes. The temples were distilled in a Vigreux column six (06) stages, and the condensed fractions were collected according to the ranges of the distillation of gasoline (60ºC - 190ºC) , kerosene (190ºC - 235ºC ) and diesel (235°C - 370°C), later to be characterized. There was a better catalyst efficiency for sodium carbonate 15% w/w as reducing the acid value about 1.7 mgKOH/g , and a conversion of 97% by weight of the oil in PLO was noted also, by increasing the amount of catalyst that favors the obtaining of an end product with better quality. The red mud on the other hand, showed yields of up to 64% m/m products with a low acidity of about 62.90 mgKOH/g, comparing this result with literature data. Based on the final results verified the efficiency of catalysts, the catalyst which sodium carbonate gave products with low acidity and good characteristics for use as fuel.
