Description

Method for preparing lanolin alcohol and lanolin acid from lanolin
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of grease processing, and particularly relates to a method for preparing lanolin alcohol and lanolin fatty acid from lanolin.
Background
Lanolin is the fatty secretion of sebaceous glands of sheep deposited on wool fibers, and is mainly an ester compound composed of wool acid and lanonol. The wool acid is rich in branched chain fatty acid, has a structure very similar to that of fatty acid contained in human skin, and when the wool acid is applied to the skin, a surface oil film is porous, so that water vapor can smoothly pass through the skin without interfering normal physiological activities of the skin, and the wool acid is an excellent natural cosmetic raw material. The lanolate can be used as high-grade antirust grease, lubricant and the like. The main components of the lanonol are cholesterol (the content is about 12 percent of the total mass of the lanolin), triterpenoid sterol (about 6 percent) and fatty alcohol (about 20 percent), and the lanonol can be directly used as a raw material of high-grade cosmetics and hair care additives, can also be further refined to obtain NF-grade cholesterol which can be used as a raw material for synthesizing vitamin D, and can also be used as a liquid crystal material.
The traditional method for preparing wool acid and lanonol by using lanolin has certain technical problems, so that the whole process is complex and the operation is difficult. First, lanolin is saponified with a strong base, and if an aqueous solution or an aqueous alcohol solution is used as a solvent, the raw lanolin and the formed products, a lanolin salt and lanolin alcohol, are difficult to dissolve, and the saponification reaction is a reaction in a heterogeneous solution and is slow. Secondly, the generated lanolin fatty acid is a good surfactant, a 'saponified substance film' consisting of oil-in-water droplets is formed on the surface of the lanolin, and the reaction of strong alkali and the lanolin in the droplets is prevented, so that the reaction is incomplete, the emulsification phenomenon is very serious, and the extraction operation is difficult.
In order to overcome the above difficulties, most of the processes for preparing lanolin alcohol and lanolin acid from lanolin utilize alkali metal hydroxide to heat and saponify lanolin in alcohol or alcohol water for a long time, and then utilize the characteristic that alkali earth metal salt of lanolin acid is hardly dissolved in organic solvent to prepare alkali earth metal salt of lanolin acid by calcium-transferring saponification reaction. After recovering the solvent, the saponification product solid is extracted by refluxing with lower aliphatic alcohol, the complex formed by lanonol and alkaline earth metal salt can be dissolved in lower aliphatic alcohol, but the lanonoate is not dissolved, thereby realizing the separation of lanonol and lanonoate. The wool acid alkaline earth metal salt is acidified, washed, dried and the like to obtain the wool acid. For example, patent CN1263769C saponifies with alcohol solution under alkaline condition, evaporates the saponified product to dryness and extracts with organic solvent, patent CN106851654B saponifies with calcium hydroxide as alkali in alcohol solution through pipeline saponification reaction device. Although the idea can avoid the emulsification phenomenon, the operation is complex and the yield is not high.
If lanolin is directly extracted by an organic solvent after saponification of lanolin with an aqueous alcohol solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide without preparation of an alkaline earth metal salt of wool acid, serious problems of extraction and emulsification are encountered, resulting in difficulty in extraction operation. For example, patent US3526647 uses lanolin for heat saponification in aqueous isopropanol solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, followed by n-hexane or n-heptane extraction of the saponification product to give lanolin alcohol and lanolin acid salt. The saponification substance solution can also be acidified to convert the lanolate into the wool acid, so that the emulsification phenomenon can be reduced, but the generated wool acid and the lanonol have very close polarities and cannot be separated by using an extraction method, the obtained lanonol has very poor purity, and the subsequent separation workload is large. For example, patent CN107325144B uses an aqueous alcohol solution as a solvent for saponification, after which the pH of the saponification product solution is adjusted to 7-9 to convert the lanolate to wool acid, and the lanonol is extracted with an alkane.
Besides the separation of lanolin alcohol and lanolin fatty acid by organic solvent extraction or extraction, the separation of lanolin fatty acid and lanolin fatty acid can be realized by molecular distillation according to the difference of molecular free path of lanolin fatty acid and lanolin fatty alcohol. For example, patent CN1958596A uses transesterification to convert lanolin into lanolin esters and lanolin alcohols, then uses two-stage molecular distillation to obtain crude cholesterol (lanolin alcohols), and then uses chromatographic column to separate high-purity cholesterol. Patent CN102863315B adopts saponification with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in alcoholic solution, distilling off alcoholic solvent, molecular distillation, collecting light phase as lanolin alcohol, and heavy phase as lanolin acid salt. The molecular distillation method is used in the methods to solve the problem that wool acid and lanonol are difficult to separate, but the methods have the disadvantages of complex operation, high energy consumption and long process route.
In summary, although there are many methods for preparing lanolin alcohol and lanolin fatty acid from lanolin, the lanolin raw material and saponification product are difficult to dissolve in water, so that homogeneous saponification reaction is difficult to achieve, the generated lanolin acid salt is easy to emulsify, and lanolin alcohol and lanolin fatty acid salt are difficult to separate, which results in the disadvantages of complicated operation and long process route in the process for preparing lanolin alcohol and lanolin fatty acid from lanolin.
