Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a reverse flow esterification reactor for producing biodiesel and a method thereof, and more particularly to a reaction for providing a high temperature and high pressure environment The tower is an apparatus and method for producing biodiesel without additional additives. [Prior Art] With the large amount of energy demand required for the economic growth of developing countries in the world, the international crude oil price caused by the imbalance of energy supply and demand and the global greenhouse gas reduction after the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol have prompted governments to actively The development of biomass energy and other renewable alternative energy sources, biodiesel is a kind of biomass energy, which is "the use of fatty acids in animal and vegetable oils or waste cooking oils, in the presence of catalysts, reacts with alcohols to produce ester fuels." Diesel can effectively reduce the amount of waste oil and make waste a useful fuel. Biodiesel is one of the important renewable and environmentally friendly fuels to replace fossil fuels. q In the prior art, compared with the conventional catalyst-transesterification process, the main advantage of using the supercritical alcohol for the transesterification of fats and oils is that the catalyst is not required, the degree of transesterification is high, and the purification process in the latter stage can be simplified. Good recovery with glycerol, although the use of supercritical alcohols for the production of biodiesel has been regarded as the next generation of emerging manufacturing technology, but previous studies have indicated that if you want to achieve a conversion rate of more than 99% in 10 minutes, At a pressure of 30 megapascals, a relatively high operating temperature must be given, operating at temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius. At such high operating temperatures, the by-product of the transesterification 5 200925263 reaction is excessive, so how to lower the reaction temperature is a There is an urgent need to solve the problem, if the reaction temperature is to be lowered, the means used include the addition of a co-solvent such as carbon dioxide or propane, or the development of a solid catalyst; and the esterification reaction of the alcohol with the acid is an equilibrium reaction, so the conversion rate Affected by temperature and pressure, adding a large amount of excess alcohol can slightly lower the operating temperature And pressure, and can get higher conversion rates, but must consume large amounts of alcohol, does not burden the economy and the environment. However, the prior art has unavoidable disadvantages in that it is necessary to use ❹ additives, high process difficulty, difficult process control, burden on the environment, and high manufacturing costs. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a reverse flow esterification reactor for producing biodiesel and a method thereof, wherein a raw material containing a fatty acid and a raw material containing an alcohol are subjected to reverse flow esterification. In the reactor, no additives are added, and the operating temperature is low, and the transesterification reaction is carried out in the reaction column to prepare the product biodiesel. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a reverse flow esterification reactor for producing biodiesel and a method thereof. Since the molecular weight of the fatty acid is only about 1/3 of that of the fat, the two-component system of the fatty acid-containing raw material and the alcohol is provided. The critical trajectory temperature and pressure will be much lower than the two-component system of oils and alcohols, which means that fatty acids and alcohols can be single homogeneous at lower temperatures and pressures, so using fatty acids as raw materials can be A single homogeneous reaction is carried out under lower reaction conditions, and the raw material containing fatty acid and the raw material containing 200925263 alcohol are heated to the operating temperature and then placed in a reverse flow esterification reactor. 'Ester in the reverse flow esterification reactor The reaction tower is given a constant high temperature • transesterification with the stupid pressure' and the by-product alcohol and water are continuously separated by a vapor-liquid separation device and then discharged into the reverse-flow esterification reactor, by continuously The by-product alcohol and water are discharged, and the transesterification reaction is forced to be continuously reacted in the forward direction to form a product biomass diesel. The beneficial effects of the present invention are to provide a reverse flow esterification reaction benefit for producing biodiesel and a method thereof. The present flow esterification reactor uses a raw material containing a fatty acid and a raw material containing an alcohol to improve transesterification without using any additives. The conversion rate of the reaction is a green environmental protection process, which does not cause environmental burden, and has many functions such as simple process, easy process control, and reduced manufacturing cost.
