A process for thermally cracking waste motor oil into a diesel fuel product is provided. The thermal cracking process uses low temperature cracking temperatures from 625.degree. F. to 725.degree. F. with ambient pressure to generate a column distilled fraction of diesel fuel mixed with light ends, the light ends being flashed off to produce a high quality #2 diesel fuel. The process further provides for removal from the cracking vessel an additional product stream which, when filtered, is suitable for use as a #3 fuel oil and that can be further blended with a bunker oil to yield a #5 fuel product.

Process for converting waste motor oil to diesel fuel

A dicarbonyl compound and an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone are used to deactivate a transition metal/organometal catalyst in polymerization of at least one monomer to form a 1-olefin polymer. The polymer is deashed with a lower alcohol optionally followed by a wash with the starting monomer or n-heptane.

Molybdenum catalyst employed in the epoxidation of an olefin with an organic hydroperoxide preferably the epoxidation of propylene, is recovered from the bottoms fraction by adding aqueous alkaline material to the bottoms fraction and separating the aqueous phase. The molybdenum can be recovered from the aqueous phase by acidification and precipitating it as an insoluble compound.
