Obtaining a Ceresin Composition From by-Products of Oil Dewaxing Process

Abstract

The article presents the results of work on determining the possibility of obtaining paraffin compounds for various purposes using domestic raw materials. The expediency of using high-molecular purified by-products of oil refineries (the process of dewaxing mineral oils) as components of the candle mass is shown. The proposed method for obtaining candle mass will reduce the burden on the environment, reduce the cost of the process of obtaining candles and expand the base of raw materials for their manufacture through the use of production waste.
