Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to the field of optimizing feedstock in pyrolysis systems. A method of obtaining pyrolysis oil from a feedstock comprising rubber comprises the steps of: providing a feedstock comprising rubber; milling the feedstock, thereby providing particles; and pyrolyzing the particles in a vessel; wherein the median size of the particles is from about 0.5 mm to about 15 mm, optionally from about 0.5 mm to about 12 mm, optionally from about 0.5 mm to about 9 mm, optionally from about 0.5 mm to about 6 mm, optionally 15 mm or smaller, optionally 12 mm or smaller, optionally 9 mm or smaller, optionally 6 mm or smaller. The feedstock optionally comprises a plurality of tires.

Abstract: The invention provides a plurality of methods which may be employed as a single method or a plurality of sequential method steps in the isolation and purification of Cannabidiol from Hemp plants. It also provides methods for having a terpene-rich fraction as a byproduct of the method. Depending upon the ultimate objective, the individual method components may be used separately or combined with one or more method steps to accomplish the objectives.

Abstract: Provided is a crude oil additive comprising a pyrolysis oil fraction. In some embodiments, the crude oil additive further comprises a dispersant. Also provided are methods of preparing the crude oil additive as well as methods for reducing the viscosity of crude oil and methods for increasing the API gravity of crude oil.

Abstract: Provided is a metal organic framework (MOF) comprising copper ions. Also provided are resin powders, granules or pellets comprising the MOF. In some embodiments, the resin powders, granules or pellets are antimicrobial. Also provided are fibers or sheets comprising the MOF. In some embodiments, the fibers or sheets are antimicrobial. Processes for preparing the MOF are also provided.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing pyrolysis oil from vehicular tires and effecting a steam distillation for separation of the pyrolysis oil to create a lighter fraction which may be subjected to fractional distillation and a heavy fraction which is usable as a fuel oil.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for processing to improve the properties of pyrolysis oil and, as a result, the commercial value of the same. The net result is creation of an oil with a much lighter color in lieu of the black color, reducing or elimination the undesired sulfury/amine aroma and reducing the amount of PAH which is believed to be a carcinogen.
