It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
A process for the purification of crude fatty acids comprising the steps of:
s01, degassing the crude fatty acid to obtain a first purified product;
s02, carrying out vacuum distillation treatment on the first purified product to remove light fraction impurities and heavy fraction impurities, and collecting purified fatty acid;
wherein the temperature of the vacuum distillation treatment is 200-240 ℃, and the vacuum degree is more than or equal to 0.095 Mpa.
According to the purification method of the crude fatty acid, the crude fatty acid is degassed firstly, and then is subjected to vacuum distillation at 200-240 ℃ and 0.095Mpa, so that light fraction impurities and heavy fraction impurities in the crude fatty acid are effectively removed, the influence of the impurities on the service performance of a fatty acid product can be avoided, and the improvement of the quality of the fatty acid product is facilitated. The method has simple process and simple and convenient operation, is easy to realize large-scale purification of the crude fatty acid, and is beneficial to reducing the purification cost.
Specifically, in step S01, the crude fatty acid is degassed to remove mainly air in the crude fatty acid, and at the same time, the air can take away a part of moisture, so that the air can be removed and at the same time, a part of moisture in the crude fatty acid can be removed. According to the embodiment of the application, the degassing treatment is carried out before the vacuum distillation treatment step, so that the fatty acid in the sample can be prevented from being oxidized due to the long-time contact with water and oxygen in the subsequent vacuum distillation treatment process, and the quality of the fatty acid product is improved to a certain extent.
In some embodiments, the step of degassing the crude fatty acid comprises: heating the crude fatty acid to 80-90 deg.C, and degassing at 80-90 deg.C under pressure of less than 150 Pa. By adjusting the process conditions, the air in the crude fatty acid can be removed to the maximum extent, and meanwhile, the phenomenon that part of target fatty acid in the crude fatty acid is evaporated in advance due to the overhigh degassing temperature can be prevented, so that the loss of the fatty acid is reduced.
In some embodiments, the crude fatty acid comprises soapstock and/or hydrolysate of soapstock, and the crude fatty acid has high impurity content, and by adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the fatty acid and the impurity can be separated efficiently, so that a high-quality fatty acid product is obtained.
In step S02, the first purified product is subjected to vacuum distillation to remove light fraction impurities and heavy fraction impurities, so that the fatty acid to be collected is separated from the light fraction impurities and the heavy fraction impurities, and the fatty acid is purified, wherein the temperature of the vacuum distillation is 200 ℃ to 240 ℃, and the vacuum degree is greater than or equal to 0.095 Mpa.
In some embodiments, the vacuum distillation process is performed in a vacuum distillation column comprising: a pre-cut column for removing light-fraction impurities, a fatty acid flash column for preparing purified fatty acids, and a residue distillation column for removing heavy-fraction impurities. By adopting the vacuum distillation tower to carry out vacuum distillation treatment, various technical parameters in the process are more stable and accurate, and the instability of the process parameters caused by human factors is eliminated.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the step of subjecting the crude fatty acid to degassing treatment and the step of collecting the purified fatty acid are both performed in a vacuum distillation column, the vacuum distillation column further comprising: the device comprises a degasser used for degassing treatment and a fatty acid recoverer used for collecting fatty acid, wherein the degasser, the pre-cutting tower, the fatty acid flash tower, the residue distillation tower and the fatty acid recoverer are sequentially arranged. Therefore, the integrated purification of the crude fatty acid is realized, the purification process is greatly simplified, and the loss of the fatty acid is reduced to a certain extent.
It will be understood that the vacuum distillation column used in the examples of the present application is conventional in the art, and may be commercially available or assembled using techniques conventional in the art.
Light end impurities, which are impurities present in the crude fatty acid, having a lower boiling point relative to the fatty acid and heavy end impurities, can be removed at high reflux rates in the pre-cut column, allowing them to be volatilized before the fatty acid undergoes a first distillation in the fatty acid flash column, thereby reducing the loss of fatty acid. Heavy-fraction impurities have a higher boiling point than fatty acids, are difficult to volatilize and remove under mild distillation conditions, and in order to improve the recovery rate of fatty acids, after secondary distillation in a residue distillation tower, the residue is often squeezed to minimize the content of free fatty acids in the residue.
In some embodiments, the light-fraction impurities include at least one of moisture, ketones, aldehydes, and free glycerol.
In some embodiments, the heavy fraction impurities include at least one of pigments, glycerides, oxidized fatty acids, unsaponifiables, and polymerized fatty acids.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the purification method further includes: before the step of vacuum distillation treatment of the first purified product, the first purified product is heated to 200-240 ℃ to improve the purification efficiency and shorten the purification time.
In step S02, after the step of performing the vacuum distillation treatment, the purified fatty acid is collected.
In some embodiments, the step of collecting the purified fatty acid comprises: condensing and recovering the fatty acid at 55-65 ℃, and maintaining the temperature of the fatty acid at 55-65 ℃. The purity of the fatty acid is closely related to the cooling temperature, and the cooling temperature is controlled within the range, so that the purity of the fatty acid is improved, the requirement of the vacuum distillation tower on heat recovery is met, and the production and operation cost is greatly reduced.
