FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for material preparation.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for material preparation for preparing a natural wax composition.
BACKGROUND TO INVENTION
Wax includes esters of monohydric alcohols of the higher homologues; e.g. beeswax is the myricyl (melissyl) ester of palmitic acid. Oils are a group of neutral lipids that are liquid at room temperature. Fixed (fatty) oils, from animal, vegetable and marine sources, consist chiefly of glycerides and esters of fatty acids, and also include essential oils (volatile products, mainly hydrocarbons, with characteristics odours, derived from certain plants). Mineral oils, derived from petroleum, coal, shale, etc. consist of hydrocarbons. Waxes and oils are used inter alia in the cosmetic industry.
It is an object of the invention to suggest a novel process for material preparation.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
According to the invention, a process for material preparation, includes the step of separating wax and/or organics and/or oil from used siliceous material.
The invention also extends to wax and/or organics and/or oil separated from used siliceous material. Further according to the invention, a material preparation apparatus for separating wax and/or oil from used siliceous material includes separating means for separating wax and/or organics and/or oil from used siliceous material to obtain wax and/or organics and/or oil.
The process may be used to recycle used siliceous material.
The used siliceous material may include perlite.
The used siliceous material may include diatomaceous earth.
The oil may be vegetable oil.
The unused siliceous material such as unused refined siliceous material may be added to the used siliceous material.
The process may include the step of mixing the used siliceous material including the wax and/or organics and/or oil, with water to obtain a first mixture.
The first mixture may be subjected to heat up to 100 degrees Celcius.
The heat may be provided via steam and/or boilers.
The first mixture may be heated for 2-3 hours.
The wax and/or oil may form the top layer of the first mixture and the perlite and water the bottom layer of the mixture due to phase separation and left overnight to settle.
The wax and/or oil mixture may be pumped off.
The perlite and water mixture may have the following composition :
(a) Perlite 58 weight % (b) Wax/oil 2 weight %
(c) Water 40 weight %
The wax/oil mixture may be pumped into retaining tanks.
Oil and wax settlement may take place over a period of 30 to 60 days.
The wax may settle at the bottom as a grey wax mixture.
The oil may settle at the top.
During the settlement period, the oil may be pumped off on a weekly basis.
A grey wax mixture may be obtained including about 40 weight % oil and 2 weight % organic matter.
The grey wax mixture may be subjected to boiling.
The boiling may take place in a cooking tank having coils.
The boiled wax mixture may be passed through a 200-300 micron filtration system at a temperature of 100 degrees Celcius to obtain a wax filtrate product.
The wax filtrate product may have the following composition :
(a) wax 40-50 weight %
(b) oil 40-60 weight %
The wax filtrate product may include no organic matter due to the filtration. The wax filtrate product may be used in the cosmetic industry as a basis, for lipsticks, eyeliners, base creams and other body and facial lather applications.
The wax filtrate product may be used in the fruit industry for coating of fruits.
The wax filtrate product may be used in the pharmaceutical industry in the coating of capsules.
The wax filtrate product may be a natural product.
No chemicals may be added during the entire process.
The invention also extends to any product obtained by means of the aforesaid process.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE OF INVENTION
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying annexures.
In the annexures there is shown in :
Tablel : typical physical characteristics of raw perlite;
Table 2: typical chemical analysis of raw perlite;
Table 3 : physical characteristics of treated perlite;
Table 4: chemical analysis of treated perlite;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE
One embodiment of a process for material preparation in accordance with the invention, includes the step of separating wax and/or oil from used siliceous material which generally includes perlite and is unused refined siliceous material.
The process includes the steps
(a) of mixing the used siliceous material including the wax and/or oil with water to obtain a first mixture having 50 weight % perlite/wax/oil and 50 weight % water;
(b) of subjecting the first mixture to heat for 2-3 hours up to 100 degrees Celcius via steam and/or boilers;
(c) of allowing phase separation to take place in that the wax and oil forms the top layer of the first mixture and the perlite and water the bottom layer of the first mixture;
(d) of pumping off the wax and/or oil mixture into retaining tanks;
(e) of allowing oil and wax settlement to take place over a period of 30 to 60 days so that the oil settles on top and the wax at the bottom as a grey wax mixture whereby the oil is pumped off on a weekly basis;
(f) of subjecting the grey wax mixture to boiling in a cooking tank having coils; and (g) of passing the boiled wax mixture through a 200-300 micron filtration system at a temperature of 100 degrees Celcius to obtain a wax filtrate product having a light cream colour.
The perlite and water mixture has the following composition : (a) Perlite 58 weight %
(b) Wax/oil 2 weight %
(c) Water 40 weight %
Before separation, the grey wax/oil/organic mixture has a composition of about 40 weight % oil and 2 weight % organic matter.
After separation, the wax filtrate product has the following composition :
(a) wax 40-50 weight %
(b) oil 40-60 weight %
The wax filtrate product includes no organic matter due to the filtration.
The wax filtrate product once developed to specification can be used in the cosmetic industry as a basis, for lipsticks, and eyeliners.
The wax filtrate product can be used in the fruit industry for coating of fruits.
The wax filtrate product can be used in the pharmaceutical industry in the coating of capsules.
The wax filtrate product is a natural product as no chemicals are added during the process. Table 1 provides the typical physical characteristics of raw perlite, Table 2 provides the typical chemical analysis of raw perlite, Table 3 provides the physical characteristics of treated perlite, Table 4 provides the chemical analysis of treated perlite, Table 5 provides the chemical analysis of the wax filtrate product, and Table 6 provides protein composition of wax filtrate product.
