The present invention relates to a method for extracting and purifying vegetable wax, and more particularly, a method for purifying vegetable wax with high efficiency by extracting and extracting an extract including wax through supercritical extraction, filtering the lower wax layer, and then purifying the lower wax layer. It is about.

Wax generically refers to fatty acid esters of monohydric alcohol (or dihydric alcohol). Also known as lead. However, some names do not habitually follow this chemical distinction. For example, sperm whale oil is liquid wax, not fat, and wax is fat, not wax. Waxes are classified as liquid waxes, animal solid waxes, and vegetable solid waxes.

The number of liquid waxes is small, and anti-whale oil and veradius whale oil are among them. Sperm whale oil is a liquid wax obtained by extracting the solid which precipitates by cooling the fat-like substance in the head of this whale. Fatty acid esters of cetyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol are the main components. It is used as a lubricant for precision machinery because it does not become rancid and changes in viscosity due to temperature change is small. In addition, higher alcohols obtained by saponification are used as raw materials for synthetic detergents. The nature and use of Veradius whale oil is similar to sperm whale oil. However, since the content of oleyl alcohol is large, it is 70% or more.

Animal solid waxes include spermatozoa, beeswax, pewter, and wool. The sperm is a solid wax obtained by separating the precipitate obtained by cooling the sperm whale oil and the vera oil of the veradius whale oil. Beeswax is a dark red or dark brown solid that is obtained by heating, pressing or solvent extraction of the residue from the honey bee house. Pewter is a yellowish-white solid substance secreted by the parasite of the pellets. Its melting point is 80 ~ 83 ℃, its main component is ceryl serrate and it is used as a glossing material. Wool is an adhesive substance obtained by adding an inorganic acid to the refined liquid of raw wool. The purified is called lanolin.

Vegetable solid waxes are widely distributed on the surface of stems, leaves, and skins of plants, but their amount is small. Carnauba wax and montan wax. Carnauba wax is a yellowish green wax that precipitates from the leaves of the carnauba tree produced in Brazil. It is known as the hardening wax. Non-saponifier is about 55%. The main component is a wax ester consisting of an alcohol having 26 to 34 carbon atoms and a fatty acid. It is used for gloss materials and lacquer using its hardness. Montan wax is a black wax obtained from lignite and used as a gloss material.

Sesame is a yearly vegetation ( Sesamun ) belonging to Sesamum in Pedaliaceae. indicum) and seeds are used as food. Sesame seeds have been recognized as a valuable flow food (유량 食品), especially among the flow plant (品 食品), which is not known for some time, but is known as a healthy food with a variety of medicinal effects.

Before describing a wax extraction method using a supercritical fluid according to the present invention, the supercritical fluid extraction is described. The supercritical fluid extraction is a technique using various advantages of the supercritical fluid. The principle of distillation and extraction has a number of unique advantages because of the nature of the complex technology applied together. Supercritical fluids can be set to any condition from high density to low density by manipulating the pressure temperature, so the product has excellent selectivity such as fractionation and separation, so that high purity products can be obtained and the extraction solvent can be recovered almost completely without loss. And a purified product with no residual solvent can be obtained. In addition, the viscosity of the supercritical fluid is small, so it penetrates into the sample, and the extraction efficiency is high. Also, the diffusion coefficient is large, so the extraction speed is fast, and the extraction at a relatively low temperature can avoid the damage of nutrients by heat. And the density difference between the supercritical fluid and the low viscosity of the supercritical fluid have many advantages such as the separation of the extraction residue and the solvent. However, since a high pressure device must be used, there is a disadvantage in that facility cost and maintenance cost are high, and extraction using supercritical fluid is known to be economical only when high efficiency is made.

Carbon dioxide is most commonly used as a supercritical fluid, and carbon dioxide is the most preferred because its critical pressure is 7.4 MPa and its critical temperature is 31 ° C., which is generally easy to create supercritical conditions, and carbon dioxide itself is non-toxic and inexpensive. It is becoming. Supercritical carbon dioxide is used as a nonpolar solvent in various extraction of low polar substances such as fats and oils. In addition, by adding a substance having a polarity, such as alcohol, it is easy to induce a change in the polarity of the supercritical fluid, that is, it can significantly change the dissolving power, there is an advantage that can be utilized in the extraction of oil and fat components other than triglycerides.

The supercritical carbon dioxide supplied in this way is contacted with the packed raw material to extract the wax extract, then rises and is released out of the extractor. At this time, the discharged mixture of carbon dioxide and wax is controlled by the discharge valves 10 and 11, The extracted supercritical carbon dioxide and wax mixture is transferred to the decompressor 8 under reduced pressure via the decompression valve 9.

In the pressure reducer 8, the extracted wax mixture and carbon dioxide are separated, and the separated carbon dioxide is circulated to the storage tank 6 and reused. The wax mixture separated in the pressure reducer 8 passes through the co-solvent separator 7. Is collected as a final product.

The carbon dioxide storage tank 6 may be supplemented with carbon dioxide from the outside so as to compensate for some losses occurring in the entire process in addition to the carbon dioxide supplied through the circulation.

The carbon dioxide stored in the reservoir 6 is pressurized through the pump 3 and supplied to the extractor through the heat exchanger 2 in a supercritical state.

This process continues continuously until the target extraction yield is reached from the raw material. In addition, for continuous operation, the extractor (1) is installed two or more to control a plurality of supply valves (12), (13) and a plurality of discharge valves (10), 11 are used alternately, do not use The extractor removes the finished raw materials and adds new raw materials to prepare for the next extraction.

In this regard, a wax mixture extraction method using the supercritical fluid according to the present invention will be described.
