After the mixture of starch and additive is molten, the melt is mixed until it is at least almost homogeneous. The vapor pressure of the additive within the melting range of the mixture of starch and additive should be less than one bar. Preferably the mixing process is executed without the presence of water.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1993Date of Patent: November 8, 1994Inventor: Ivan Tomka

Patent number: 5096498Abstract: A composition for use as a road base or levee fill. The composition comprises catalytic cracking catalyst particles in the size range of 1 to 200 microns and a binder the type and amount of which depend on the end use. Hydrated lime is employed as the binder in road base construction while hydrated lime, portland cement, fly ash or mixtures of fly ash and portland cement can be used in levee construction. The spent catalyst particles are present in amounts of 80% to 96% and the binder is present in amounts of 4% to 20%, both percentage ranges being determined according to the dry weight of the composition.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1991Date of Patent: March 17, 1992Assignee: Marathon Oil CompanyInventor: George E.
