Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for improving the refining of oils, and in particular, to improving the degumming of vegetable oils having free fatty acids ad phospholipids.
- Vegetable oils are generally pressed or extracted oil from a vegetable source. Vegetable oils can contain phospholipids, commonly known as gums, which can be hydratable or non-hydratable. For example, the following oils can contain gums, in weight percent, soybean 1 to 3, corn 0.6 to 0.9, sunflower oil 0.5 to 0.9 and canola oil (crude) 1 to 3. Gums can be partially removed from vegetable oils through know degumming processes, such as water degumming, acid degumming, caustic refining and enzymatic degumming. Such processes can be found in U.S. Patent Nos.
- degumming processes include high shear mixers, for example, the processes disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,240,972 ; 4,698,185 ; 6,172,248 and 8,491,856 . It has been proposed to refine vegetable oil using cavitation, such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. App. Pub. Nos. 2009/0314688 ; 2011/0003370 and 2014/0087042 .
- the present invention provides a process for hydrating the non-hydratable phospholipids in vegetable oil.
- a vegetable oil is mixed with an acid to form an emulsion.
- the emulsion is mixed with a base to form a pretreated mixture.
- the pretreated mixture has emulation droplets containing an acid and base.
- the process includes compressing the pretreated mixture to reduce the volume of the droplets containing an acid and the droplets containing base to form of compressed mixture.
- the compressed mixture is explosively decompressed in a decompression step.
- the explosive decompression of the compressed mixture is carried out in the range of 1 x 10 5 MPa per second to about 3 x 10 6 MPa per second.
- the decompression step causes the droplets containing the acid and the base to burst and form smaller droplets containing an acid and droplets containing a base.
- the process can include subjecting the pretreated mixture to a compression step and at least two decompression step intervals.
- the decompression step intervals can be each carried out at a decompression rate in the range of 1 x 10 5 MPa per second to about 3 x 10 6 MPa per second.
- the explosive decompression can be carried out at a decompression rate such that cavitation bubbles are not formed, for example, in the range of 1 x 10 5 MPa per second to about 3 x 10 6 MPa per second.
- the explosive decompression can be carried out at a decompression rate such that the compressed mixture remains in entirely liquid form during the explosive decompression.
- the pretreated mixture can be compressed to a level of at least 3 MPa and the volume of the droplets containing an acid and base can be reduced by at least 0.1%.

- the pretreated mixture 14 has droplets in the vegetable oil.
- the droplets can contain water and acid, water and base or a combination of water, acid and base.
- the pretreated mixture 14 can be processed at a temperature in the range of 20 to 100° C, or 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90° C.

- the decompression device 20 decompresses or reduces the pressure in the compressed pretreated mixture 18 at a rate in the range of 1 x 10 5 MPa per second to about 3 x 10 6 MPa per second.
- the pressure drop created by the decompression device can be in the range of 0.1 to 3 MPa, or at least 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 or 2.8 MPa.

- the droplets containing acid, base or a combination thereof can be reduced in volume in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 percent after being passed through the compression device 16.
- the compression device 16 can reduce the volume of the droplets by 0.1 percent when the pressure of the pretreated mixture 14 is increased to 3 MPa and the volume can be reduced by 0.3 percent when the pressure is increased to 7 MPa.
- the decompression step reduces the pressure or decompresses the compressed pretreated mixture at a rate that can cause the droplets containing acid, base or a combination thereof to burst explosively into smaller droplets or increase the volume of the droplets to a precompressed state.
- the acid in the smaller burst droplets of the decompressed mixture can react with the non-hydratable phosphatides in the oil and decompose them.
- the finer dispersion of droplets in the decompressed mixture promotes and enhances the reaction because both reagents, acid and base, are added to the oil in a diluted solution. A very fine dispersion of droplets can enhance the reaction when it has to be substantially completed and the oil requires low residual phosphatides content.
- the dispersion of droplets is so fine that the reaction between the acid and the non-hydratable phosphatides in the oil is substantially instantaneous or at least completed within seconds of the decompression step or steps.
- a fine dispersion of droplets can also enhance a neutralization reaction with the base.
- the aqueous base droplets can burst to create smaller diameter droplets, which in turn increases the surface interface of the droplets with the oil, and then diffusion distances can decrease and the reaction is enhanced.
- the decompression step or steps can also promote self-oscillations in the droplets containing acid, base or a combination thereof, which can improve heat and mass transfer processes.
- the compressed pretreated mixture 18 can be decompressed in one pass through the decompression device 20.
- the compressed pretreated mixture 18 can be passed through the decompression device 20 multiple times, such as at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 passes.
- one or more decompression devices 20 can be in series to carry out successive decompression steps, such as at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 decompression intervals.
- Each decompression step or interval or pass can result in a reduction in pressure in the range of 0.1 to 3 MPa, or at least 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 or 2.8 MPa.
- the decompressed mixture can have a residence period before being subjected to the next decompression.
- the residence period can be in the range of 0.1 to 3 seconds.
- the residence time period can provide time to allow the non-hydratable phospholipids within a lipid matrix of the oil to migrate to an oil-water interface with the droplets.
- aqueous acid and base droplets can coalesce, and the interface can decrease, wherein diffusion distances will increase and all this will slow down the mass transfer processes.
- at least a second explosive decompression step can promote further reaction and can impart additional treatment of the emulsion for reaction completion. Compression and explosive decompression steps can be repeated 2, 3, 4, or 5 and more times if needed. This action promotes gum formation, adsorption of metal-containing compounds and other reactions and processes.
- the decompressed mixture 22 can be transferred to a holding tank or container 24 to allow the mixture to settle and, to the extent possible, separate into phases, e.g., oil and water.
- the holding tank 24 can be used for storing the decompressed mixture 22 for further processing.
- the decompressed mixture 26 can be sent to one or more separation steps.
- a separation device, 28, as shown, can be used to separate the gums from the oil.
- the separation device 28 can be a device known in the art, for example a filter or centrifuge.
- the separation device 28 separates the decompressed mixture 22, 26 into a purified oil 32 and a waste stream 30, such as the aqueous component of the mixture.
- the oil can be subjected to other processing steps as known in the art, such as bleaching or deodorizing. Such steps can be desirable depending on the intended use of the purified oil product.
