As can be seen from tables 5 and 6, the preferred glycerol content and pH in the technical glycerol prepared in example 7 and example 12 indicate that the vacuum flash temperature is suitable in example 7 and the ratio of methanol to biodiesel by-product in example 12 is suitable.
(4) The comparison of examples 14-15, examples 16-18 and example 1 can be found: the enhanced glycerol content and pH in the industrial glycerol produced in examples 14-18, which demonstrates that one or both of phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid are used as the acid solution in the present application, and that the phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid are used with K in the biodiesel byproduct + And precipitate is generated, which can be separated and removed, and the content of inorganic salt in the biodiesel byproduct is reduced. By matching any two of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic acid, OH in biodiesel byproducts is rapidly neutralized - And the pH is uniform in descending speed, the esterification reaction of biodiesel byproducts is inhibited, and inorganic salt is separated out through precipitation, so that the impurity content in industrial glycerol is reduced. As can be seen from Table 5, the technical glycerin obtained in example 16 is preferred in terms of glycerin content and pH, indicating that the ratio of the components in the acid solution is suitable.
(5) The comparison of examples 19-20 and example 1 can be found: the increase in both glycerol content and pH in the technical glycerol obtained in examples 19-20 demonstrates that the present application irradiates the acidified glycerol and optimizes the parameters of the irradiation to increase H + The activity degree in the acidified glycerol reduces the activation energy of the acidified glycerol, and enhances the neutralization effect of the acid liquor on biodiesel byproducts, so that fatty acid and fatty acid methyl ester are easier to separate out in a layering way, and the removal effect of impurities in the industrial glycerol is improved. As can be seen from Table 5, the technical glycerin obtained in example 19 has a preferable glycerin content and pH, and the irradiation treatment parameters in example 15 are preferable.
(6) As can be seen from the comparison of examples 22-25, examples 26-29, examples 30-31 and example 1: the improved glycerol content and pH in the industrial glycerol prepared in examples 22-31 suggests that the flocculant components are optimized in the application, and as alum, ferric trichloride, aluminum sulfate and aluminum potassium sulfate can form charged colloidal particles in the crude glycerol, the charged colloidal particles are adsorbed and co-flocculated with impurities by means of electrostatic adsorption, electric neutralization, bridging and the like. And sodium oxalate and chitosan loaded with yeast cells are used as complexing agents, the sodium oxalate complexes metal ions in the crude glycerol, and active amino cations on the chitosan not only activate active functional groups on the yeast cell walls, but also promote the activity of the sodium oxalate, improve the complexing effect on impurities in the crude glycerol, and improve the purity of the industrial glycerol by the mutual coordination of flocculation and complexing. As can be seen from tables 5 and 6, the preferred glycerol content and pH in the technical glycerol prepared in examples 29 and 30 indicate that the proportion of the components in the flocculant in example 29 is suitable and the parameters of the flocculation treatment in example 30 are suitable.
(7) As can be seen from the comparison of example 32 and example 1: the improvement of the glycerol content and the pH value in the industrial glycerol prepared in example 32 shows that the ethanol is added in the neutralization glycerol, and the ethanol has low polarity, so that part of inorganic salt dissolved in the neutralization glycerol can be separated out after the ethanol is added because the ethanol has low solubility in the ethanol, and the influence of inorganic salt separation on the distillation efficiency during distillation is reduced by separating and removing inorganic salt impurities in the neutralization glycerol.
The present embodiment is merely illustrative of the present application and is not intended to be limiting, and those skilled in the art, after having read the present specification, may make modifications to the present embodiment without creative contribution as required, but is protected by patent laws within the scope of the claims of the present application.
