Composite embedding agent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biodiesel, and particularly relates to a composite embedding medium for saturated fatty acid methyl ester, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The biodiesel is a typical 'green renewable energy source' which is produced by using animal and vegetable oil, swill-cooked dirty oil and the like as raw materials to produce renewable environment-friendly fuel, has performance close to that of diesel oil, can replace petroleum diesel oil as fuel for an engine. Biodiesel is generally a mixed fatty acid methyl ester containing both saturated fatty acid methyl esters and unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters, and typically requires separation of saturated fatty acid methyl esters.
The common separation methods at present include a freeze-pressing method, a solvent freeze-separation method, a urea inclusion method and the like. The freezing and squeezing method is to directly freeze the crude fatty acid ester into paste and then squeeze the paste to obtain the unsaturated fatty acid ester, and the method has the disadvantages of difficult realization of continuous production, low production efficiency, high energy consumption and large labor amount. The solvent freezing separation method is to directly freeze a mixed solution of crude fatty acid ester and an organic solvent into paste, and then obtain unsaturated fatty acid ester through centrifugal separation. The principle of the urea inclusion method is that in the crystallization process, straight chain fatty acid (ester) in the system is easy to form urea inclusion compound with urea molecules, while unsaturated fatty acid (ester) is difficult to be included by urea due to the influence of double bonds, carbon chains are bent, has a certain spatial configuration, and the molecular volume is increased, so that the unsaturated fatty acid (ester) cannot be crystallized and separated out and is remained in a solvent. The urea inclusion method has the defects of large urea consumption, low product yield, difficult urea recovery and the like.
CN101747185A discloses a method for separating saturated fatty acid methyl ester from biodiesel, comprising: adding a solvent into the biodiesel, cooling while stirring, filtering to obtain a filter cake and a filtrate, and recovering the solvent from the filtrate to obtain the low-freezing biodiesel; washing the filter cake with a solvent, and recovering the solvent from the filter cake to obtain high-purity saturated fatty acid methyl ester; the ethanol content in the solvent is 60-99wt%, and the balance is acetone and/or butanone. The method has the advantages of large energy consumption in freezing and solvent recovery, high organic solvent concentration, strong volatility and high requirements on equipment, production environment and operation.
CN111777513A discloses a preparation method of high-purity methyl oleate, and relates to the technical field of methyl oleate purification. Adding urea and methyl oleate raw materials into a low-carbon alcohol solution, heating and dissolving the raw materials into a uniform solution, cooling and freezing the uniform solution, and separating out urea inclusion compounds of low-carbon chain methyl esters and saturated carbon chain methyl esters; filtering to remove the urea inclusion, and distilling and concentrating the filtrate to obtain a concentrate of methyl oleate and methyl linoleate; dissolving the concentrate into decalin, adding maleic anhydride and iodine, heating to react until methyl linoleate generates C 22 Adding sodium hydroxide solution into the tricarboxylic acid methyl ester; distilling the reaction solution obtained in S3 to remove the solvent decalin, filtering to remove C 22 Sodium tricarboxylate to obtain high-purity methyl oleate. The invention removes saturated fatty acid methyl ester in methyl oleate by a urea inclusion method, and then removes polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl ester by a reaction method, thereby obtaining high-purity methyl oleate. However, the method adopts urea and low-carbon alcohol solvent during purification, and the urea is large in dosage and difficult to recycle.
