Process for the Conversion of Free Fatty Acids to Glycerol Esters and Production of Novel Catalyst systems

Номер: US20180154325A1
Принадлежит: AG Chem LLC

Animal and seed based triglycerides are oils used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, energy generation, etc. These triglycerides or glycerol esters are a mixture of triglycerides and free fatty esters (FFA) along with unsaponifiables and gums (MIU). FFA may range from very low, 1% or less, to more than 40% in some rendered animal oils. Corn oil from the wet or dry process of ethanol production may have from 7 to 15% FFA. The varying amount of FFA presents numerous process issues for downstream users of these oils especially in the production of biodiesel, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). FFA about 1 or 2% requires esterification as well as transesterification for the production of FAME. What is needed is a method to perform Glycerolysis. This disclosure describes an improved catalyst system as well as process equipment and operating conditions to allow economical commercialization of Glycerolysis.

A semi-continuous acidulation process for converting tall oil soap to crude tall oil is disclosed. Reactants are continuously mixed, and the product mixture is continuously transferred to a settling tank having a conical lower section and a capacity at least 25 times that of the mixer. Batches settle to give a solid phase comprising calcium sulfate, a clean spent acid phase, a dirty spent acid phase, and a crude tall oil phase. Each phase is removed sequentially through a port at or near the bottom of the settling tank. Compared with traditional batch acidulation, continuous mixing minimizes the corrosive environment and enables the use of less expensive materials for the settling tank. Sequential removal of four phases from one port allows calcium sulfate to be purged from every batch, permits clean separation of clean spent acid from dirty spent acid, and enables clean recovery of tall oil. Compared with processes that isolate product continuously, inherent difficulties in using centrifuges or continuous decanters to separate four phases are avoided. The process facilitates generation of clean alkaline brine and integration of new soap washing methods that enable improved conversion yields of CTO and better removal of calcium from the soap. 1.

Methods and systems for recovering a desired co-product from a feedstock to ethanol production process are provided. The methods involve a multi-step separation of a fermentation-derived feedstock, in which an initial separation produces a discharge stream and an output feed stream including the co-product, and a final separation further purifies the output feed stream while also producing a recycle stream that is reintroduced into the separation process. The systems include at least an initial and at least a final separation device which are in fluid communication in both upstream and downstream directions. The initial separation device separates at least a portion of a non-co-product containing phase from a feed stream comprising the non-co-product containing phase and a co-product containing phase, and the final separation device separates at least a portion of the co-product containing phase from a stream comprising the co-product containing phase and a non-co-product containing phase.
