Abstract

A process for deacidifying natural fats and oils in which a glyceride of acid number 5-20 is treated with lower alcohols to convert the free acid into an ester in the presence of enzymes immobilized on supports of diameter 1-5 mm.

Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the Invention

Die Erfindung befindet sich auf dem Gebiet der oleochemischen Grundstoffe und betrifft ein biotechnologisches Verfahren zur Entsäuerung von Fetten und Ölen.The invention is in the field of oleochemical raw materials and relates to a biotechnological process for deacidifying fats and oils.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Natürliche Fette und Öle enthalten infolge enzymatischer Zersetzungsprozesse, die unmittelbar nach dem Ernten der Ölfrüchte einsetzen, stets einen Anteil an freien Fettsäuren, der in der Literatur als FFA-Wert ("Free Fatty Acids") oder Säurezahl bezeichnet wird. Der FFA-Wert gilt als eines der Qualitätskriterien für Fette und Öle, da kleine Säurezahlen für vergleichsweise reine und nicht etwa alte, ranzige Ware steht. Für die weitere Verarbeitung der Fette und Öle sind darin enthaltene Fettsäuren unerwünscht, da diese mit basischen Katalysatoren, wie sie beispielsweise in der Umesterung eingesetzt werden, Seifen bilden, welche nicht weiter reagieren und später als Abfallstoffe entsorgt werden müssen. Man umgeht dieses Problem in der Praxis durch eine sogenannte "Entsäuerung", bei der es sich um eine vorgelagerte Veresterung vorzugsweise mit Methanol handelt. Auf diese Weise wird die Säurezahl praktisch auf Null gebracht, während die resultierenden Methylester in der weiteren Verarbeitung der Fette und Öle analog den Glycerinester abreagieren und somit nicht stören.Natural fats and oils contain, due to enzymatic decomposition processes, the immediate use after harvesting the oil fruits, always a proportion of free fatty acids, which is referred to in the literature as the FFA value ("Free Fatty Acids") or acid number becomes. The FFA value is one of the quality criteria for fats and oils because of its low acid numbers stands for comparatively pure and not old, rancid goods. For the further Processing of the fats and oils are undesirable because they contain fatty acids these with basic catalysts, such as those used in transesterification will form soaps that do not react any further and are later disposed of as waste Need to become. This problem is avoided in practice by so-called "deacidification", which is an upstream esterification, preferably with methanol is. In this way, the acid number is practically brought to zero, while the resulting methyl ester in the further processing of fats and oils analogous to React glycerol esters and do not interfere.

Üblicherweise wird diese Vorveresterung mit heterogenen Katalysatoren, beispielsweise Zink oder Zinnverbindungen durchgeführt, wie sie etwa in den Druckschriften DE 19956599 A1, DE 19600025 C2 und EP 0192035 B1 beschrieben werden. Wie schon oben erläutert, ist das Verfahren im Hinblick auf die angestrebte Säurezahlerniedrigung durchaus effektiv, von Nachteil ist aber, dass die Katalysatoren mit hohem technischen Aufwand abgetrennt werden müssen, in der Regel nicht zu regenerieren sind und damit den Prozess von der ökonomischen Seite her betrachtet erheblich belasten. Des weiteren ist ein kontinuierlicher Betrieb nicht möglich und vielfach beobachtet man, dass die Methylester zurückgespalten werden, d.h. die Erniedrigung der Säurezahl nicht von Dauer ist. This pre-esterification is usually carried out using heterogeneous catalysts, for example zinc or tin compounds, as are described, for example, in documents DE 19956599 A1, DE 19600025 C2 and EP 0192035 B1 . As already explained above, the process is quite effective with regard to the target acid number reduction, but the disadvantage is that the catalysts have to be separated with a high level of technical complexity, generally cannot be regenerated, and the process is therefore considered from an economic point of view significantly burden. Furthermore, continuous operation is not possible and it is frequently observed that the methyl esters are split back, ie the reduction in the acid number is not permanent.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung hat somit darin bestanden, ein verbessertes kontinuierliches Verfahren zur dauerhaften Entsäuerung von Fetten und Ölen zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches sich gleichzeitig dadurch auszeichnet, dass eine dauerhafte Säurezahlsenkung bis unter einen Wert von 1 erreicht wird, hohe Durchsätze erzielt werden und die Katalysatorkosten durch Wiederverwertung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik nachhaltig gesenkt werdenThe object of the present invention was therefore an improved one continuous process for permanent deacidification of fats and oils available to provide, which is also characterized by the fact that a permanent Lowering the acid number to below a value of 1 achieves high throughputs and the catalyst costs by recycling compared to the state of the Technology can be reduced sustainably

Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind Verfahren zur Entsäuerung von natürlichen Fetten und Ölen, bei dem man Glyceride mit Säurezahlen im Bereich von 5 bis 20 mit niederen Alkoholen behandelt und so freie Fettsäuren in Ester überführt, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass man die Reaktion in Gegenwart von Enzymen durchführt, die auf Trägern immobilisiert sind, die einen Durchmesser im Bereich von 1 bis 5 mm aufweisen.The invention relates to processes for deacidifying natural fats and Oils, in which one uses glycerides with acid numbers in the range from 5 to 20 with lower alcohols treated and thus free fatty acids converted into esters, which is characterized by that the reaction is carried out in the presence of enzymes that are on supports are immobilized, which have a diameter in the range of 1 to 5 mm.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass Enzyme, die auf Trägern mit definierten Durchmessern immobilisiert vorliegen, nicht nur vorzüglich für die Vorveresterung von sauren Fetten und Ölen geeignet sind, sondern dabei vor allem auch hohe Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten und damit hohe Durchsätze im kontinuierlichen Betrieb ermöglichen. Die dabei erhaltenen Umsetzungsprodukte weisen vorzugsweise Säurezahlen unter 1 auf.Surprisingly, it was found that enzymes defined on carriers with Diameter immobilized, not only excellent for the pre-esterification of acidic fats and oils are suitable, but above all high flow velocities and thus enable high throughputs in continuous operation. The the reaction products obtained preferably have acid numbers below 1.

Natürliche Fette und ÖleNatural fats and oils

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann grundsätzlich auf alle natürlichen Fette und Öle angewendet werden, die infolge partieller enzymatischer Spaltung über einen Gehalt an freien Fettsäuren verfügen, d.h. eine Säurezahl aufweisen. Insofern ist die Auswahl der Triglyceride wenig kritisch. Dabei ist das Verfahren jedoch vorzugsweise für solche Fette und Öle ge-eignet, die eine vergleichsweise hohe Qualität also niedrige Säurezahl, beispielsweise von maximal 20 und vorzugsweise 10 bis 15 aufweisen. Grundsätzlich lassen sich auch Einsatzstoffe mit höherer Säurezahl auf diese Weise entsäuern, allerdings kann es sein, dass letztlich nur Säurezahlen von 5 bis 10 erreicht werden oder zur weiteren Absenkung hohe Enzymkonzentrationen und/oder lange Reaktionszeiten erforderlich sind. Vorzugsweise kommen als Rohstoffe jedoch Kokosöl, Palmöl, Palmkernöl, Sonnenblumenöl und Rapsöl sowie deren Gemische in Frage, welche Säurezahlen im Bereich von 5 bis 20 und vorzugsweise 10 bis 15 aufweisen. The method according to the invention can in principle be applied to all natural fats and oils are applied, which as a result of partial enzymatic cleavage over a content free fatty acids, i.e. have an acid number. In this respect, the selection of Triglycerides not critical. However, the method is preferred for such fats and oils are suitable which have a comparatively high quality, for example a low acid number have a maximum of 20 and preferably 10 to 15. Basically leave In this way, feedstocks with a higher acid number can also be deacidified it may be that in the end only acid numbers of 5 to 10 are reached or for the further Lowering of high enzyme concentrations and / or long reaction times required are. However, coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil and sunflower oil are preferably used as raw materials and rapeseed oil and their mixtures in question, what acid numbers in the range have from 5 to 20 and preferably 10 to 15.

Alkoholealcohols

Das Prinzip der Säurezahlreduktion besteht in einer Veresterung der freien Fettsäuren mit Hilfe von Alkoholen, vorzugsweise niederen Alkoholen, die der Formel (I) folgen, ROH (I) The principle of acid number reduction is esterification of the free fatty acids with the aid of alcohols, preferably lower alcohols, which follow the formula (I) RAW (I)

in der R für einen linearen oder verzweigten Alkylrest mit 1 bis 4 Kohlenstoffatomen steht. Typische Beispiele sind Ethanol sowie die isomeren Propanole und Butanole, vorzugsweise wird natürlich Methanol eingesetzt. Üblicherweise werden die Alkohole dabei in Mengen von 1 bis 10 und vorzugsweise 2 bis 5 Gew.-% - bezogen auf die Triglyceridmenge - eingesetzt.in the R for a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms stands. Typical examples are ethanol and the isomeric propanols and butanols, preferably methanol is of course used. The alcohols are usually used in amounts of 1 to 10 and preferably 2 to 5% by weight, based on the amount of triglyceride - used.

Enzyme und TrägerEnzymes and carriers

Im Sinne des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kommen als Enzyme vorzugsweise Lipasen in Betracht. Typische Beispiele für geeignete Lipasen sind die Handelsprodukte Novozym 388 L, Novozym SP 525 L, Lipozym TL 100 und Amano G. Die Enzyme werden in der Regel als verdünnte Suspensionen oder wässrige Konzentrate eingesetzt, wobei die Einsatzkonzentration in der Regel 0,5 bis 10, vorzugsweise 1 bis 2 Gew.-% - bezogen auf die Triglyceridmenge - beträgt. Um eine kontinuierliche Fahrweise und hohe Durchsätze zu erzielen, ist es erforderlich, die Enzyme auf geeigneten Trägern zu immobilisieren. Entscheidend für die Auswahl der Träger ist dabei weniger ihre chemische Natur, sondern ihr Durchmesser. Dieser muss klein genug sein, um eine hohe Oberfläche zu gewährleisten, auf der anderen Seite aber auch grob genug, um eine Reaktion bei hohen Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten der Einsatzstoffe zu gewährleisten. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich dabei um Polyolefingranulate und insbesondere Polypropylengranulate mit einem mittleren Durchmesser von 1 bis 5 und vorzugsweise ungefähr 3 mm. Enzyme und die Träger werden dabei vorzugsweise im Gewichtsverhältnis 1 : 1 bis 100 : 1 und insbesondere 1 : 5 bis 1 : 10 eingesetzt. For the purposes of the method according to the invention, lipases are preferably used as enzymes into consideration. The commercial products Novozym are typical examples of suitable lipases 388 L, Novozym SP 525 L, Lipozym TL 100 and Amano G. The enzymes are in the Usually used as dilute suspensions or aqueous concentrates, the Use concentration generally 0.5 to 10, preferably 1 to 2 wt .-% - based on the amount of triglyceride - is. For a continuous driving style and high throughput To achieve this, it is necessary to immobilize the enzymes on suitable carriers. What is decisive for the selection of the carriers is less their chemical nature, but their diameter. This must be small enough to have a high surface area ensure, on the other hand, but rough enough to react at high To ensure flow rates of the feed materials. Preferably acts it is polyolefin granules and in particular polypropylene granules with a average diameter of 1 to 5 and preferably about 3 mm. Enzymes and the Carriers are preferably in a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 100: 1 and in particular 1: 5 to 1:10 used.

Entsäuerungdeacidification

Die Entsäuerung der Fette und Öle kann in der für die kontinuierliche enzymatische Veresterung von Fettsäuren an sich bekannten Art und Weise durchgeführt werden. Die Reaktionstemperatur richtet sich dabei natürlich nach dem Aktivitätsoptimum der eingesetzten Enzyme und liegt daher im Bereich von 20 bis 50 und vorzugsweise 25 bis 35 °C. Die immobilisierten Enzyme werden als Schüttung in einen Rohrreaktor gegeben und das zu entsäuernde Einsatzprodukt aufgeströmt, wobei die Verweilzeit im kontinuierlichen Betrieb in der Regel 1 bis 20 und vorzugsweise 5 bis 8 h beträgt. Das Verfahren kann einstufig betrieben werden, im Hinblick auf eine Verminderung der Menge an einzusetzendem Methanol hat es sich jedoch als vorteilhaft erwiesen, zwei bis fünf Reaktoren in Reihe zu schalten und die Reaktion mehrstufig durchzuführen. The deacidification of fats and oils can be used for the continuous enzymatic esterification of fatty acids in a manner known per se. The The reaction temperature is of course based on the optimum activity of the used Enzymes and is therefore in the range of 20 to 50 and preferably 25 to 35 ° C. The immobilized enzymes are poured into a tube reactor and that The product to be deacidified is poured on, the residence time being continuous Operation is usually 1 to 20 and preferably 5 to 8 hours. The procedure can be operated in one stage with a view to reducing the amount of used However, methanol has proven to be advantageous in two to five reactors Switch series and carry out the reaction in several stages.
