Description

For the preparation of the catalyst of biodiesel and the preparation technology of preparation method and biodiesel
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparing technical field of chemical industry aspect, especially a kind of catalyst for the preparation of biodiesel, and prepare production technology and the process units of biodiesel with this catalyst.
Background technology
Along with the continuous intensification of energy crisis, finding novel alternative clean energy resource becomes the emphasis of countries in the world research just gradually.Biodiesel is because Cetane number is high, and greasy property is good, and sulfur content is low, and does not become the focus of the renewable alternative energy source of countries in the world research environmental protection containing advantages such as the aromatic hydrocarbon to environment.It is saturated or unsaturated containing oxygen organic acid low-carbon alcohols Ester that the composition of biodiesel is mainly long-chain, and carbon chain lengths is many at C 18~C 22between, very approaching with diesel oil, also quite similar in nature, so reproducible fatty acid methyl ester is defined as biodiesel by initial people.But, along with biodiesel raw material is more and more diversified and people for the pursuit of recyclability, the definition of biodiesel expands to take the water plant greases such as oil crops, oilseed plant, engineering microalgae and animal fat, waste cooking oil etc. as raw material, utilize glyceryl ester exchange reaction on the methoxy substitution grease main component triglycerides of low-carbon alcohols, the fatty acid methyl ester admixture of the different carbon chain lengths of acquisition.
Biodiesel is because raw material mostly is reproducible biomass resource, once there is a very long time to be considered to inexhaustible raw material sources, but, the serious large-scale promotion application that is restricting biodiesel of this reproducible raw material sources for various reasons.Data shows that its cost of material has accounted for 70~85% of totle drilling cost; high cost of material has seriously hindered large-scale promotion and the application of biodiesel; greatly reduce its market competitiveness; not only make it become the protection product under policy and law protection, also occurred greatly to depart from people's original intention.In order to change this situation, the raw material of cheapness and wide material sources, all in constantly effort of the production cost for how reducing biodiesel, is found on the one hand in countries in the world, production technology and equipment is constantly innovated and is improved on the other hand.
At present countries in the world utilize chemical catalysis mostly, by short chain alcohol under the effect of catalyst with glyceride stock generation ester exchange reaction production biodiesel, the reaction unit of employing mostly is batch stirred tank reactor.Although this traditional process technology maturation, product property is stable, but due to low-carbon alcohols and raw oil material intersolubility poor, traditional batch stirred tank reactor often has to extend the reaction time because mixing effect is undesirable, has not only increased energy consumption and also reduced the market competitiveness of biodiesel.As German Lurgi (Shandong is strange) technique, two sections of Production of Biodiesel Via Transesterification Methods of normal temperature, normal pressure that this process using is most widely used in the world, can reach 96% by this technique grease conversion ratio, excessive methyl alcohol re-uses after reclaiming by methanol recovery device.The biodiesel of this explained hereafter has accounted for the more than 60% of Gross World Product according to statistics, but, the liquid alkali of this process using is as catalyst, comparatively harsh to ingredient requirement, course of reaction more complicated, the liquid catalyst using can not reuse, and a large amount of waste liquor contamination environment of washing meeting generation, and in course of reaction, grease and methyl alcohol do not dissolve each other and causes whole technique mass transfer poor.In addition, tank reactor need to repeatedly repeat Exchange Ester Process just can reach higher conversion ratio, reaction finishes rear catalyst and is difficult to separate, product must just can reach demand of industrial production through washing, result causes the waste water that contains in a large number spent acid, salkali waste to produce, these waste water must could discharge through processing, thereby have increased production cost.And traditional handicraft is higher to ingredient requirement, need refining could use, increase again the cost of pretreatment of raw material, meanwhile, intermittently the utilization rate of equipment is often lower, is difficult to realize automation control, has limited the suitability for industrialized production of biodiesel.
Along with going deep into of research, it is found that and adopt different reaction units to carry out ester exchange reaction, larger on the mass transport process impact of low-carbon alcohols and reaction grease.Based on this discovery, some production technologies, by improving traditional reaction unit or developing new reaction unit, to reduce the resistance to mass tranfer between methyl alcohol and glyceride stock, are enhanced productivity, and reduce costs.As the HTHP homogeneous phase ester exchange process of German Henkel (Henkel) company exploitation, Henkel technique has very much progress in the requirement of raw oil material, can use the grease of not refining as raw material, product is through obtaining biodiesel except soap, neutralization, washing, the process such as dry.Compared with Lurgi technique, Henkel technique has high grease conversion ratio, almost reaches 100%, and high temperature and pressure makes methyl alcohol in supercriticality, can dissolve preferably raw oil material, makes the mass transfer between methyl alcohol and grease have obvious improvement.Most importantly this technique can be using the grease of not refining as raw material, and W-response process shortens dramatically compared with Lurgi technique.But the homogeneous catalyst of this process using and product mix, need a large amount of water to clean, get back to again traditional handicraft in the middle of the process of product postprocessing, be unfavorable for catalyst recovery recycling and preserve the ecological environment.And HTHP causes its reaction condition comparatively harsh, need special device to react, subsequent treatment needs the recovery of a large amount of energy for glycerine, has increased production cost.The still-process carrying out in order to reclaim methyl alcohol is very unfavorable to the non-oxidizability of product, and the cloud point of product is also higher.
So, University of Toronto proposes to adopt soda acid two-step catalysis method to expand the range of choice of biodiesel raw material, to reduce the cost of material of biodiesel, and develop BIOX technique, this technique is introduced a kind of proprietary inert co-solvent to reduce the resistance to mass tranfer between grease and methyl alcohol in reaction system.Adding of inert co-solvent makes whole course of reaction become homogeneous reaction, improved greatly reaction speed and transformation efficiency, and raw oil material just can be converted into biodiesel within a few minutes, and conversion ratio is up to 99%.The acid catalyzed reaction in early stage can reduce the free acid content in raw material significantly, to expanding the range of choice of raw material, reduces cost of material very favourable.At present BIOX technique can have been processed free acid content up to 30% raw oil material, thereby make waste oil and waste animal and vegetable oil directly utilize and become possibility, but inert co-solvent adds and recovery can increase extra production cost, and two-step catalysis operation also makes production process become complicated.Main this technique that is only focuses on solving the problem of pretreatment of raw material, expand the range of choice of raw material, and product and catalyst separation and post-processed does not still depart from traditional handicraft.
In order to expand the range of choice of raw material, solve the separation problem of product and catalyst, reduce three waste product discharges in later stage product processing process, protection of the environment, realizes cleaner production.People develop various production Technology in succession, and wherein overcritical production technology is the most noticeable, because under supercriticality, the moisture in raw material, on not significantly impact of productive rate, is conducive to the formation of methyl esters even to a certain extent.Under this condition, methyl alcohol and grease are homogeneous phase, and interphase mass transfer resistance disappears, and reaction rate extremely increases, and whole reaction only needs just can complete for several minutes.Owing to there is no catalyst in reaction system, product does not need to wash, and purifies more easy yet.But the temperature and pressure that supercritical reaction needs is all very high, and consersion unit is had to specific (special) requirements, meanwhile, maintaining HTHP needs a large amount of energy supplies, and even energy input has been greater than Energy output and has been difficult to carry out industrialization promotion sometimes.And the required alcohol oil rate of this technique is large (being greater than 20:1) conventionally very, need extra retracting device to carry out Methanol Recovery, not only increase energy consumption, also improve production cost.
So imagining, people introduce catalyst to reduce the temperature and pressure of supercritical reaction, picture IFP (IFP) has developed Esterfip-H solid base two-stage reaction technique, this process using two stage fixed-bed reactor, with the ZnAl of spinel structure 2o 4xZnOyAl 2o 3composite oxides are as Catalyst Production biodiesel, flash distillation methyl alcohol sedimentation separation glycerine, and products obtained therefrom is biodiesel after decompression distillation.This technique can realize and approach 100% grease and transform, and in product, fatty acid methyl ester up to 99%, and can obtain the glycerine byproduct of purity more than 98% simultaneously.Although Esterfip-H can obtain than the high a lot of glycerine byproduct (homogeneous phase ester exchange reaction by-product glycerin purity is only 80%) of homogeneous phase ester exchange purity, but its reaction process is too complicated, two stage fixed-bed reactor all adopts higher temperature to react continuously, energy consumption is larger, is unfavorable for reducing production costs.
By comparison, the Mcgyan technique of U.S. SarTec company exploitation is simply many.This technology utilization tubular reactor has larger draw ratio (>50 conventionally), material content constantly changes on its flow direction, and with the perpendicular interface of flow direction on the feature that all remains unchanged as content, pressure, flow velocity and temperature etc. of all parameters of material, adopt one-level fixed-bed tube reactor production biodiesel, with modification ZrO 2, Al 2o 3, TiO 2oxidate microspheres is as catalyst, under 300 ℃, 17MPa condition, carries out ester exchange reaction, and reaction finishes rear supernatant liquid and carries out distillation procedure to remove excessive methyl alcohol, and the methyl alcohol of recovery reenters reaction system through methyl alcohol storage tank.Lower floor's product obtains biodiesel and by-product glycerin through respective handling.Because methyl alcohol in course of reaction is in supercriticality, can be good at dissolving grease, thereby make whole reaction become homogeneous reaction, reaction completes within the several seconds, and can produce continuously, has improved greatly the production efficiency of biodiesel, to reducing costs, improve product competitiveness in the market very favourable.Meanwhile, the requirement of this raw materials technology is lower, and catalyst is insensitive to raw material Free Acid content, moisture.Reaction finishes afterproduct and separates with catalyst is automatic, has reduced product and catalyst separation step, and product do not need washing just can obtain meeting the biodiesel of ASTM standard, and production cost is further reduced, and the while has also been reduced the pollution to environment.But the reaction condition that this technique is used is comparatively harsh, higher reaction pressure has special manufacture requirement to reaction unit, thereby manufacture difficulty and the cost of equipment are increased, increase accordingly the danger of operation, in addition, extra device fabrication cost can increase the production cost of biodiesel undoubtedly, is unfavorable for improving the market competitiveness of biodiesel.
Therefore; develop the nearly critical production technology of biodiesel and reaction unit for reducing production of biodiesel cost, expand range of choice and the saving water resource of raw material, preserve the ecological environment; realize cleaner production, the synthesized competitiveness tool that improves biodiesel is of great significance.
