Waste cooking oil contains high free fatty acid content than the fresh cooking oils . Hence, it is know that higher free fatty acid contents will lead to formation of soap and water. Similarly, if free fatty acid content exceeds 3%, transesterification reaction will not proceed even with homogenous base catalyst .
Oleum is used to sulfonate alkyl benzene and sulfate fatty alcohols for heavy duty detergents. The reaction is shown in Figure 7. It is an equilibrium process, as water is formed in the reaction and the resultant water dilutes the oleum and/or sulfuric acid. The sulfonation reaction stops when the sulfuric acid concentration

Reaction: C3H5(OOCR)3 + 3HOH = C3H5(OH)3 + 3HOOCR (R is the fatty acid chain) Triglyceride + Water = Glycerine + Fatty Acid (CFA or Crude Fatty Acid) Targeted DOS should be in excess of 98.5%. A poor DOS has a multiplier effect in reducing distillation yield.
one kind of fatty acid derived from Jatropha oil, oleic acid, could be used as a raw material to produce biodiesel using esterification reaction involving alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, etc. At present, the esterification of fatty acid and alcohol into fatty acid ester is usually conducted in a batch reactor (Omotaet al., 2003). However .
Crude split fatty acids from different fats and oils are typical feedstock for straight distillation plants. It is recommended that feedstock has a minimum splitting degree of 96% in order to reduce losses in the residues, but fatty acids with even lower splitting degree can be distilled, too. The same plant can also be used for straight .
Jun 17, 2014 · Subject-matter of the invention is a process for producing fatty alcohols by catalytic hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), in which the FAME initially is hydrogenated to fatty alcohol (FA). The fractions of non-converted FAME remaining in the hydrogenation product are converted to wax ester and methanol in a succeeding transesterification step with FA.
MODELLING, SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER REACTIVE DISTILLATION PROCESS USING ASPEN HYSYS. CHAPTER ONE . 1.0 INTRODUCTION. Reactive distillation process has been given special attention in the past two decades because of its potential for process intensification for certain types of chemical reactions (Popken et al., 2001; Murat et al., 2003).
glycerol in the fatty acid prior to distillation will resu lt in more distillation pot resi due (Potts, 1956). The fatty acids from the fat splitting process are relatively dark in color a nd
Now, in order to know how the conversions of the reactants occurred, the profiles of the fatty acids (oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid) and those of the alcohols (methanol) used for the production of biodiesel inside a reactive distillation column are compared and shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively, for the fatty .
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), valuable oleo-chemicals and main constituent of biodiesel, can be manufactured in a continuous process using reactive distillation. (Dimian,2007) Reactive distillation (RD) is the process in which chemical reaction and separation are carried out simultaneously within a fractional distillation apparatus.
The fatty acid amide, such as 16~20 carbon atoms,is commonly used as the emulsifier and dispersant in the textile industry,and the corresponding acid and amine reactions are derived from the reaction.Although the high product quality index (especially the chrominance) requirements, but low yield, such as quality of 98.5%, rate of not more than .

Preparation of Oleic Acid by Low-Temperature Crystallization of Olive Oil Fatty Acids. Procedure: In a 4 liter flask, a solution of 225 g of olive oil fatty acids is dissolved in 3450 cc of acetone and cooled to 20° C overnight. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate cooled to -60° C in a dry ice-alcohol bath (Note 1) and again filtered.
Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons to as many as 22–26, derived from natural fats and oils.The precise chain length varies with the source. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl, stearyl, and oleyl alcohols.They are colourless oily liquids (for smaller .
