Description

United States Patent 6 Claims. (of. 260-424) This invention relates to the refining of vegetable and animal oils and fats in the liquid state, and more particularly to the refining of edible fats and oils.
Crude oils and liquid fats of vegetable or animal origin, referred to jointly hereinafter as oil, usually require refining for removal of such undesired components as suspended solid particles, colorants, and free fatty acid. It is conventional to admix alkaline compounds which combine with the free fatty acids to form soaps. The mixture is treated with solid, particulate adsorbents such as fullers earth or activated charcoal, filtered, and may then be subjected to steam distillation in a fairly high vacuum to remove most of the odoriferous constituents.
The afore-described conventional process inevitably causes some saponification of the desired glycerides together with the fatty acids. The glyceride losses are sutficiently high to affect the economics of the process.
It was therefore proposed heretofore to employ acids, acid salts, or strongly dissociated neutral salts in aqueous solution for refining crude oils. A saponification of glycerides is readily avoided with such refining agents. It has been found difiicult, however, to obtain adequate removal of contaminants when the time of contact between the liquid product and the refining acid or salt solution is reasonably short. Mechanical agitation is not effective in accelerating the reaction to the necessary extent. Unless a very large excess of refining agent is used in conjunction with intensive mechanical mixing, the results obtained within practical processing periods are disappointing.
I have found that relatively small amounts of acids, acid salts, or strong electrolytes whose pH is not much above 7 may be employed over a short period of contact in the refining of oils if the refining agent is dispersed colloidally in the glyceride material to form an emulsion the dispersed phase of which includes the refining agent. The emulsion may be produced and maintained by means of any suitable surface active agent.
The refining agents which have been employed successfully in my method include the mineral acids, including sulfuric acid and solutions of sulphur dioxide (sulfurous acid), phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and their salts such as sodium bisulfate, sodium sulfite, potassium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen phosphates, organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and also their anhydrides, for example, acetic anhydride.
Suitable surface active emulsifying agents include the commercially available monoand diglycerides of naturally occurring saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, sulfates and sulfonates of fatty alcohols, non-ionic surfactants such as those derived from ethylene oxide, and cationic surface active compounds such as the well known long chain amine salts.
In carrying out the method of my invention, I first combine the refining agent with the emulsifying agent and with Water, if water is employed as a diluent or solvent. The sequence of mixing the refining agent, the emulsifying agent, and the water, if any, will readily suggest itslf to those skilled in the art. The mixture is then stirred with the oil that it is desired to refine. It is also possible first to disperse the emulsifying agent in the oil and then to admix the refining agent together with any water used,
3,354,188 Patented N av. 21, 1967 whereby a water-in-oil type emulsion is formed in which the oil phase is continuous, whereas the dispersed phase contains the water and refining agent which are practical ly insoluble in the oil.
If the amount of suspended refining agent is small, fullers earth, activated clay, charcoal, or a similar solid adsorbent having a high effective surface-to-weight ratio may be admixed to the oil while it contains the refining agent so that the suspended phase is retained on the solid adsorbent together with certain impurities.
If removal of coloring constituents is not necessary, or if it is to be carried out separately, filter aids such as diatomaceous earth (kieselguhr) or asbestos fibers are admixed to the oil, and the mixture is filtered. The aforementioned adsorbent is similarly removed by filtration. In either case, the excess of refining agent, any water present and not dissolved in the oil phase, and virtually all of the emulsifying agent is removed from the oil by the filtration step.
If filtering is not practical, decantation, centrifugal separation, and similar processes may be resorted to in a known manner.
The method of the invention has been employed successfully with soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, castor oil, coconut oil, palm oil, linseed oil, fish oils, whale oil, and mustard oil.
Separation of the refining agent from the oil may be followed by steam distillation in a vacuum in a manner conventional in itself. The fatty acids removed there-by are of high purity, show good color, and are free from contaminants. The steam distillation process is readily conducted in such a manner as to hold the amount of neutral oil in the fatty acids to a minimum.
The following example is further illustrative of the instant invention, but it will be understood that the invention is not limited thereto.
Example Five parts 70% phosphoric acid and five parts glycerol monostearate as an emulsifiying agent were intimately mixed with each other. The resulting emulsion readily dispersed in 1000 parts crude coconut oil containing 4.6% free fatty acids and having a temperature of 30 C. A uniform emulsion of the water-in-oil type was formed thereby. Fifteen parts fullers earth were then admixed, and the temperature was raised to 94 C. over a period of several hours while stirring continued. The hot mixture was filtered.
The filtrate was clear. It was subjected to steam distillation for four hours at 237 C. at a pressure of 4 mm. Hg. Fatty acids and odor-causing volatile constituents were thereby removed. The residue contained 0.06% free fatty acid. It included 97.3% of the neutral oil originally present. The product met all requirements for refined coconut oil of high quality.
The distillate was light in color, and free from objectionable contaminants. It consisted essentially of free fatty acid containing 19% neutral coconut oil. The small amount of neutral oil not accounted for in the distillate and in the distillation residue was found adsorbed on the fullers earth. It was recovered therefrom by solvent extraction.
The dispersion of chemical bleaching agents together with the refining agents of the invention is advantageous where the nature of the refining agent and the bleaching agent permits, and will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
While the invention has been described with particular reference to specific embodiments, it is to be understood that it is not limited thereto, but is to be construed broadly and restricted solely by the scope of the appended claims.
