Improvements in the Manufacture of Fuel Blocks from Petroleum.
I, HANSP HANSEN, of Christiania, Norway, but at present of No. 46, Finsbury
Circus, in the City of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to the manufacture of fuel blocks which is effected by
combining the following ingredients:
-
75 to 85 per cent. by weight of refined petroleum.
caustic soda.

cocoa nut oil.
The proportions may be varied within the limits above stated.
The margarine, cocoa nut oil and about one third part of the caustic soda in
solution of about 38° Beaume are made into soap which is well dried and divided
into granules.
The turpentine and pine or gallipot resin are melted together and mixed with the
soap granules; when these are well mixed the petroleum is added and the mixture
is heated to about 105° C. The rest of the alkali in solution is then poured in and
the whole is continually stirred by hand or mechanically until it attains the con-
sistence of porridge.
The mixture is kept at a temperature of 100° C. until it becomes quite thick and
then the temperature is raised to about 105° C. and maintained at that degree for
about an hour.
The material is then moulded in large blocks or slabs which, after cooling during
about two days, can be cut into smaller blocks for use as fuel or for lighting fires.

The proportions may be varied within the limits above stated.
The margarine, cocoa nut oil and about one third part of the caustic soda in
solution of about 38° Beaume are made into soap which is well dried and divided
into granules.
The turpentine and pine or gallipot resin are melted together and mixed with the
soap granules; when these are well mixed the petroleum is added and the mixture
is heated to about 105° C. The rest of the alkali in solution is then poured in and
the whole is continually stirred by hand or mechanically until it attains the con-

becomes quite thick and then the temperature is raised to about 105° C. and
maintained at that degree for about an hour.
The material is then moulded in large blocks or slabs which, after cooling during
about two days, can be cut into smaller blocks for use as fuel or for lighting fires.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The manufacture of fuel blocks by mixing petroleum with the substances men-
tioned and treating the mixture as described.
