By above content as can be seen, the research of chemical method separation and purification biodiesel processes is comparatively deep, mainly be to adopt washing or two kinds of main method of rectifying that the biofuel product is separated purification, these have certain reference for immobilized enzyme production biofuel, but also have bigger difference from essence.In addition, adopt method for washing to be difficult to impurity is thoroughly removed, also can take the part methyl esters out of on the contrary, reduce productive rate; Adopt the method for washing also can produce a large amount of waste water, also can waste water resource when producing environmental pollution; The drying process that adopts the washing back to be increased has increased equipment and processing cost; In institute's research direction, underpressure distillation has still accounted for very big proportion, especially based on rectifying and molecular distillation.But can not deny that common distillatory efficient is on the low side, and rectifying and molecular distillation technology are all relatively large on equipment cost and energy consumption; In other new separating technology, membrane sepn, extraction process, non-evaporatingly heat up in a steamer technology or the sorbent material method all has certain novelty, and simple to operate, there was not high energy consumption, but these method material costs are generally higher, whether can expand industrialization to, also do not come to a conclusion.
The production of biofuel should have standard to guarantee that as instructing its quality, normalise simultaneously also are essential condition of the market access, and the development of biofuel is stimulating the biofuel establishment of standard.Austria had formulated in the world that first is the biofuel standard of benchmark with the rapeseed methylester in 1992, and very fast Germany (EDIN 51606), France, Czech and the U.S. (ASTM PS-121) have also set up biofuel standard separately respectively.Biofuel can be made by different material, the raw material difference, thereby the standard of various countries also exists some differences, wherein strict with German standard.China has also put into effect tentative standard in May, 2007, and it has made detailed regulation to 16 specific targets and examination criteria.Wherein, the requirement to acid number is very important one.
Alkali cleaning is classical deacidifying process, lot of domestic and international research is carried out neutralization reaction with alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide and free fatty acids, the gained fatty acid sodium salt is separated from oil product, obtain free lipid acid through acidifying, reaction process can be finished in moment, but was easy to generate emulsion in reaction process.And alkali lye runs off in a large number in company with converted products, and sodium hydroxide reagent can not be regenerated, and the sodium salt that separation of fatty acids generated is seriously polluted; With aqueous ammonia to replace caustic alkali lipid acid is extracted from oil phase, come down to lipid acid is converted into ammonium salt, from oil product, separate, the ammonium salt thermal degradation discharges ammonia and reclaims lipid acid simultaneously, but cost is higher, and the solvent recuperation energy consumption is higher, and depickling oil colours degree is subjected to certain influence; With calcium oxide, calcium sulphonate or other metal oxide, and an alkali metal salt of small molecular organic acid equally can depickling, but also has a large amount of alkaline residues and the problem of saline sewage of producing.
People such as Tang Xiaodong (1997,2005,2006) adopt selective solvent, also can extract lipid acid as ethanol etc. from diesel oil, and document points out that formyl replaces dimethylamine, acetonitrile, industrial triglycol etc. can slough petroleum acid in the oil effectively as extraction solvent.But its selectivity is not high, and the ethanol consumption is big, need to adopt the multi-stage countercurrent extracting, and recovery system is also comparatively complicated, and energy consumption is bigger, also is the one of the main reasons that limits the further industrial application of this class isolation technique.
Li Shuzhen etc. (1995) utilize hydro carbons and petroleum acid also can separate lipid acid in the diesel oil oil to the difference of some adsorbents adsorb ability, the sorbent material that is adopted comprises natural inorganic sorbents, as clay, kaolin, bauxite or natural silica gel etc., and synthetic sorbent material, as zwitterion sorbent material or strong alkali ion exchange resin etc., whole technological process bulky complex, invest higher, these have all limited adsorption method of separation in industrial application, are applied to the research of laboratory to petroleum acid structure and composition at present more.
People such as Huang Mingfu (2003) have reported that the use microwave irradiation carries out depickling in " straight-run diesel oil depickling Study on new method under the microwave ", but still need to use NaOH to make de-acidying agent, and there is emulsification in profit, the process cost height.
People such as Liu Dachuan (2001) have studied the distillation method depickling, and are different with the FFA relative volatility by means of triglyceride level, under the condition of high vacuum, distill out the FFA in the grease, to reduce the process of the FFA in the grease.Method commonly used has wet distillation and molecular distillation etc.The shortcoming of steam distillation depickling is too dark with regard to the finished product oil colours, needs decolouring again.
People such as Raman (1991) have studied membrane sepn depickling method, according to the difference of methyl esters and FFA molecular weight size, can utilize membrane separation technique that the FFA in the grease is effectively separated.But also there are some difficulties in the industrialization of membrane separation technique depickling, and at first because the lipid molecule amount is all very little, during as if usefulness nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, filtration velocity is low, and film is contaminated easily again, film occurs and stops up; Secondly, membrane sepn cost height, and methyl esters is close with the fatty acid molecule amount, is difficult to eliminate.
People such as Wang Yong (2001) have studied urea adduct method, urea adduct method is a kind of fatty acid separation method commonly used, its principle is that urea molecule can form more stable crystal inclusion compound with saturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acids and separates out in crystallisation process, and polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid is because two key is more, the carbochain bending, have certain sterie configuration, be difficult for, adopt the filtering method can be dissimilar fatty acid separation by urea clathration.
As seen, traditional and present method is all existing certain problem aspect the processing acid number.At present, the production technique of the producer of domestic most production biofuel employing exists the problem that the production cycle is long, product purity is lower, the rate of recovery is not high, cost is higher and pollution is more serious.Do not reach the requirement that the fatty acid methyl ester of discharging standard biological diesel oil such as IV in Europe reaches more than 98% and pollutant emission is limited the quantity of from quality and environmental protection, therefore can not can only be confined to Industrial Boiler, farm machinery etc. and require relatively low industry field as the substitute energy of high-grade car; On the other hand, consider that from the cost angle completion rate that higher equipment and energy cost are lower in addition makes the market competitiveness not strong.
