Abstract

The invention discloses a novel solid base catalyst and application thereof in the preparation of biodiesel oil. The catalyst is prepared by loading potassium fluoride as an active component on carriers; and calcining at a high temperature. The carrier is alumina, activated carbon or diatomite. The biodiesel oil is prepared by transesterification including adding oil and fat, low carbon alcohol and the solid base catalyst into a three-neck container; refluxing under heating and stirring; filtering to remove the catalyst; demixing the filtrate; separating glycerol at the lower layer, adding NaHCO3 solution into the mixture at the upper layer; washing until a neutral condition; drying with anhydrous MgSO4; and reduced pressure distilling. The application of the catalyst in the preparation of biodiesel oil has the advantages of high yield, cheap catalyst, small catalyst consumption, mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, reutilization of catalyst, environment friendliness and low requirement to raw material.

Description

Novel solid body base catalyst and the application in biodiesel is synthetic thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to the organic chemistry synthesis technical field, specifically a kind of novel solid body base catalyst and the application in biodiesel is synthetic thereof.

Background technology

Along with the minimizing day by day of mineral resources such as oil with and ball border influence over the ground, the green renewable fuel resource of development of new becomes the problem of present extensive concern.Biodiesel is a kind of mono alkyl ester of LCFA, not sulfur-bearing and aromatic hydrocarbons, and the Cetane number height, and greasy property is good, is a kind of high-quality clean fuel.Simultaneously, biodiesel has the incomparable advantage of traditional fossil fuel, raw material is the grease of reproducible living beings, and the environmental friendliness of product own is biodegradable, the flash-point height, nontoxic, volatile organic matter (VOC) content is low, and calorific value height, burning are fully, need not change and the frequent engine that cleans, also be to make biodegradable fine chemical product raw material with high added value.The of paramount importance environmental protection effect of biodiesel is with a kind of indirect mode, passes through CO ₂Again change hydrocarbon into, make CO ₂Clean discharge capacity reduces greatly.Scientists thinks that after deliberation using the biomass material energy is that a kind of ratio increase forest reserves (absorbing as CO2) more have conduct and more effective strategy.The production method of biodiesel mainly is that the ester exchange reaction by vegetable oil or animal tallow and low-carbon alcohols prepares.Normally used catalyst mainly contains acid catalysis, base catalysis, enzymatic and supercritical methanol technology.Acid catalyzed process [Ono, Y.J.Catal, 2003,216 (1-2): 406] often adopts sulfuric acid etc., exists the consumption of alcohol big, causes product layering difficulty, reaction temperature height, shortcomings such as catalytic efficiency difference.Base catalysis [Sheng Mei etc., colleges and universities' Chemical Engineering journal, 2004; 18 (2): 231-236] homogeneous catalyst such as NaOH, KOH, the sodium methoxides etc. of adopting exist the ingredient requirement strictness more, need the harsh conditions of anhydrous anacidity; there is the saponification phenomenon simultaneously, shortcomings such as product post processing complexity.Enzymatic [Nie Kaili etc., biological processing, 2005,3 (1): 58-62] exists catalyst to cost an arm and a leg, easy inactivation, shortcomings such as reaction time length.Exist reaction temperature and pressure to surpass the critical-temperature and the critical pressure of methyl alcohol with overcritical on-catalytic method, production technology requires high to equipment.The synthetic of general load-type solid will comprise first water lytic activity component, floods then, then also will refilter or reduce pressure and steam this loaded down with trivial details process of moisture, and both time consumption and energy consumption had also been wasted a large amount of raw materials.

Summary of the invention

A kind of novel solid body base catalyst that the objective of the invention is to provide, catalyst is used for the synthetic of biodiesel simultaneously at the deficiencies in the prior art, its Preparation of catalysts is simple and easy to do, biodiesel synthesis productive rate height, catalyst amount is little and reusable.

The concrete technical scheme that realizes the object of the invention is:

A kind of novel solid body base catalyst, it is to be active component with the potassium fluoride, be carried on carrier after, get through high-temperature roasting; The concrete practice is: it is 10～50% the aqueous solution that potassium fluoride is made into mass fraction, adds carrier, and the mass ratio of the carrier and the described aqueous solution is 1～12: 10, add thermal agitation 4h under 70 ℃, in 80 ℃ revolve steam remove moisture after, 300～1000 ℃ of following roasting 5～10h in the Muffle furnace, promptly; Described carrier is aluminium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesia, zinc oxide, zirconia, active carbon, molecular sieve, diatomite, carclazyte, silica gel or boehmite.

The application of above-mentioned solid base catalyst in biodiesel is synthetic, its biodiesel adopts ester-interchange method synthetic, and concrete steps are: add grease, low-carbon alcohols, solid base catalyst and add hot reflux and stir 1～3h in the three neck containers that have electromagnetic agitation, thermometer, reflux condensing tube; Heating and temperature control is at 50～110 ℃; With reacted material filtering, leach catalyst and filtrate, filtrate is carried out separatory, tells lower floor's glycerine, and the adding mass fraction is 5～10% NaHCO in the mixture of upper strata ₃Solution, its addition are 2～6 times of upper strata mixture quality, and washing is told upper organic phase with separatory funnel again to neutral, with organic facies with anhydrous MgSO ₄Drying removes by filter drier, and decompression distillation obtains nearly light yellow opaque products and is biodiesel.

The mass ratio of described adding grease, low-carbon alcohols, solid base catalyst is 1: 0.1～0.5: 0.04～0.1.

Described grease is waste oil, the waste oil in vegetable fat, animal tallow or the production process; Described low-carbon alcohols is methyl alcohol, ethanol, propyl alcohol or butanols.

After the present invention reacted end, the catalyst that leaches was reusable, and activity remains unchanged substantially, and reaction yield still can reach more than 93%.

The reaction expression that biodiesel of the present invention is synthesized is as follows:

Compare with background technology, advantage of the present invention is: it is simple that catalyst has preparation process, less cost of power; Catalyst to the synthetic advantage that has of biodiesel is: the productive rate height; Catalyst amount is little, the reaction condition gentleness, and the reaction time is short, and catalyst is reusable, does not have environmental pollution, and is low to ingredient requirement.
