Abstract: A method for the pyrolysis of raw materials, especially raw materials deriving from tires or bitumen, includes the steps of feeding the material to be subjected to the pyrolysis process to a reactor; heating the material in the reactor at a temperature needed to establish the pyrolysis process; collecting the final products of the pyrolysis reaction; separating the gaseous, liquid and solid phases of the reaction products; and storing, for further treatment, the reaction products separate one from another. The heating in the pyrolysis process to the activation temperature is obtained by irradiating the raw material with laser radiation, concentrated or focused on a localized area of a pre-established surface area on the mass of raw material of the focusing area, and progressively moved along the entire surface of the mass of raw material to activate the pyrolytic reaction on all the mass of raw material.

Abstract: The treatment of biological masses to produce a solid material which can be used as an agricultural fertilizer and/or conditioner includes the subjecting of the biological mass, which is in the fluid state and is composed of a solid phase and an aqueous phase, to a combined heat and chemical treatment involving heating, acidification, and chlorinating oxidation so as to dissolve insoluble metallic and non-metallic compounds in the biological mass and transfer them from the solid phase to the aqueous phase, pasteurize the micro-organisms, disinfect the mass as regards pathogenic germs, and sterilize seeds. After this combined treatment, the solid phase is separated from the aqueous phase and recovered.

Abstract: A detergent additive for lubricating oils is prepared by reacting an alkyenolsulfide with an oxide or hydroxide of a earth-alkali metal and carbonating the reaction product with carbon dioxide, the reaction being carried out in the presence of a promoter, selected in the class of the organic nitrogen compounds, and possibly of a co-promoter; the temperature and the time of the reaction are depending on whether the co-promoter is present. The resulting product shows improved detergency and flow-ability properties.

Abstract: Process for the production of 1-aspartic acid by fermentation of hydrocarbons, wherein the fermentation is obtained by contemporaneous or subsequent inoculation of the culture medium with microorganisms of the type Candida Hydrocarbofumarica and Bacillus species and that the 1-aspartic acid obtained is the product of the cumulative exocellular metabolism to the account of said hydrocarbons present in said culture medium.
