TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: In the process, where substantially all of the inorganic material is removed from the municipal solid waste during step (a). The level of water remaining after drying step (b) is 5-20 wt.% based on the total weight of the refuse derived fuel. The catalyst used in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis step (f) is a cobalt-containing catalyst, where the Fischer-Tropsch: conditions include temperatures of 380-440 degrees F and total pressures of 350-550 psig; and synthesis is conducted in a fixed bed type reactor in two stages.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The triglyceride feed is from a source comprising rape seed, soybean, cotton seed, safflower seed, castor bean, olive, coconut, palm, maize, canola, Jatropha, rice bran, tobacco seed, or fats and oils from animals, including from rendering plants and fish oils, algae derived oils, or yellow grease. The catalyst used in the hydrotreating step comprises at least one group 8 metal and at least one group 6 metal on a refractory oxide support, where the group 8 metal is nickel or cobalt and the group 6 metal is tungsten or molybdenum. The hydrotreating: catalyst comprises at least one noble metal comprising platinum or palladium on a refractory oxide support; conditions of step (h) include temperatures from 280-400 degrees C and pressures from 200-3000 psig; and is performed in a fixed bed reactor. The hydroisomerization of step (i) is performed at conditions that include temperatures of 250-400 degrees C and pressures of 100-3000 psig. The hydrocracking catalyst is: molecular sieve and zeolite catalyst; and zeolite sieve of molecular porosity (ZSM)-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-35, ZSM-48 or silicoaluminophosphates-11, gamma -alumina or zeolites and/or amorphous alumina supports, where the hydrogenating function is provided by either a noble metal and/or base metals comprising cobalt-molybdenum, nickel-molybdenum or nickel-tungsten.
