The main disadvantages of the traditional biomass range are as follows: 1. The reaction time is long, “ ^ is more than 2 hours. 2. The indication type and the process are complicated. The equipment covers a large area. 3 Catalyst, acid-base neutralization, water washing, waste liquid Treatment and other increased operating costs. 4 The moisture of the raw materials is sensitive to the content of free fatty acids. Generally, the oils used as raw materials under 3% are required to be pretreated to avoid saponification. Therefore, if waste is consumed according to the literature, methanol is supercritical. The esterification or transesterification reaction is completely unaffected by the presence of impurities such as water and free fatty acids in the raw material, and has the following advantages: 1. The reaction speed is fast, generally within 30 minutes. The process is simple, the equipment is small, and the equipment covers a small area. 3. No need to add acid-base catalyst, no acid-base neutralization, water washing, waste liquid treatment, etc. 4 completely free from the influence of water and fatty acid content in raw materials. Republic of China Patent No. 466271, "Method for Producing Alkyl Ester of Fatty Acids from Oils and Fats," provides a method of using a metal acid or a base catalyst in a supercritical lower alcohol state without using a metal acid or a base catalyst Biodiesel production system esterification methods. The patent 145920.doc 201125968 can use a source of a fatty acid containing free fatty acids and a lower alcohol to react, and the triglyceride contained in the oil and fat is subjected to transacetalization in a supercritical alcohol state to produce The alkyl ester of a fatty acid can be reacted without using a metal catalyst or an acid catalyst, so that it is not necessary to carry out the treatment before esterification of the free fatty acid, and it does not produce a by-product of the fatty acid soap. The recycling and refining process of the product is omitted or simplified. This patent discloses that it is preferred to continuously react the oil and the alcohol on one side of the tubular reaction vessel, but does not describe the method of carrying out the tubular reaction vessel. U.S. Patent Nos. 6,187,939, 6, 211, 390, 6, 570, 030, and 6, 818, 026 discloses a method of transesterification of supercritical alcohols using a batch of autoclave as a reactor; U.S. Patent Nos. 6,812,359, 7 193,97 discloses supercritical alcohols The method of trans-acetation uses a continuous reactor, but does not disclose the implementation of the continuous reactor. According to the literature, continuous reactors generally use a tubular reactor. In order to increase the conversion rate of the transesterification reaction and avoid the occurrence of a reverse reaction, an excess of lower alcohols (1 to 4 carbon alcohols) is generally used. Class) is also the ratio of alcohol to oil. A stirrer is generally used in the batch type reaction tank to increase the contact area of the alcohol with the oil to improve the reaction efficiency, but it cannot be carried out in the tubular reactor. Excessive low carbon can improve the efficiency of the reaction, but it will waste more energy in the later stage of recycling. Since the solubility of low-carbon alcohols to oils and fats is not good, it is necessary to increase the reaction temperature to above 300 °C in order to have a conversion rate of 98% or more, but there are disadvantages such as energy consumption and high-temperature cracking to lower the yield of fatty acid alkyl esters. In addition, the tube reactor is not easy to maintain the temperature from the center of the tube to the tube wall when the tube diameter is enlarged = 145920.doc 201125968 property' will greatly reduce the reaction efficiency and conversion rate. In addition, according to the literature, the use of metal oxide solid phase catalyst can reduce the reaction temperature and increase the conversion rate, but the solid phase catalyst is carried out in a tubular reactor: the powdery catalyst is easy to cause blockage of the pipeline and the valve; porous or mesh Sieve-like catalysts tend to cause blockage of larger materials and impurities. What's more, tubular reactors are suitable for medium to low viscosity grease feeds and are not suitable for use with higher viscosity or waste cooking oils or scraps containing solid suspended impurities. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an innovative and progressive continuous grease characterization reactor to solve the above problems.

The continuous oleoalkylation reactor of the present invention is suitable for alkylation at atmospheric or low pressure or supercritical lower alcohol alkylation at elevated temperatures and pressures. 145920.doc 201125968 [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a schematic view of a continuous oleoalkylation reactor of a first embodiment of the present invention. The continuous grease alkylation reactor 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a column 11, a rotor 2 and a heater 13. The column 11 has a first reactant inlet 111, a second reactant inlet 112, and a product outlet 113 for inputting the first reactant and the second reactant, respectively, and outputting the product. In the present embodiment, the first reactant inlet 111 is disposed at the top of one of the columns n, the second reactant inlet 112 is disposed at the bottom of one of the columns 11, and the product outlet 113 is disposed at the column. At the bottom of the crucible, the first reactant has a greater density than the second reactant. The first reactant may be a grease, and the second reactant may be methanol vapor or supercritical methanol, taking the transesterification/esterification reaction of waste edible oil and methanol as an example, wherein the first reactant is waste edible oil' The first reactant is methanol vapor or supercritical methanol. Since the density of waste cooking oil is about 800-900 kg/m3, the density of methanol vapor or supercritical methanol is about 200~600 kg/m3, that is, the density of the first reactant and the second reactant. The difference is at least greater than about 2 〇〇 kg/m3. Therefore, the first reactant (waste cooking oil) enters and flows down at the top of the column, and the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol) enters the bottom of the column and flows upwards to generate a reaction. . The continuous oleoalkylation reactor of the present invention further comprises a second reactant inlet line 114 connected to the second reactant inlet 112 and projecting from the bottom of the column 11. The continuous oil and fat alkylation reactor of the present invention further comprises a second reactant outlet 115 disposed at the top of the column to provide an excess of 145920.doc 201125968 unreacted second reactant (methanol vapor) Or supercritical methanol) is discharged from the second reactant outlet 115, and can be recovered and reused after being cooled under reduced pressure. The rotor 12 is disposed in the column 11 and is driven to rotate by a driving member 14 having at least one film forming member 121 for forming a first reactant to form a film 15 for the first reactant and the second reactant. Produce a reaction. In the present embodiment, the first reactant (waste cooking oil) enters from the first reactant inlet 111 at the top of the column u, passes through the centrifugal action of the rotor 12 and the smoothing action of the thin forming element 121, in the column u The inner wall forms a film 15 and flows downward due to gravity; the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical sterol) enters from the second reactant inlet U2 at the bottom of the column 11, and flows upward through the rotor 12 and the column U The space formed by the inner wall is brought into contact with the film 15 formed by the first reactant (waste cooking oil) to produce a transesterification/esterification reaction. Since the smoothing action of the film forming member 121 continually renews the surface of the film 15 to continuously generate an unreacted first reactant (waste cooking oil) in contact with the second reactant (sterol vapor or supercritical methanol) The transesterification/esterification reaction is carried out, so the reaction rate is quite fast. Since the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol) are in reverse contact and reaction, the column portion can be divided into a mixing zone, a reaction zone, and a separation zone from top to bottom. Three zones: the mixing zone is a premixing of the first reactant (waste cooking oil) with the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol), preferably at the first reactant inlet U1 into the column lumen A dispersing or atomizing device is arranged to atomize the first reactant (waste cooking oil) into micro droplets, so that the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol) is thoroughly mixed and has a diffusion effect, and the excess unreacted The second reactant (methanol steam 145920.doc * 8 - 201125968 K or supercritical methanol) can be discharged from the second reactant outlet 1丨5, and can be recycled after being cooled under reduced pressure. After the film 15 is formed in the reaction zone due to the first reactant (waste cooking oil), it has the largest contact area with the second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol), so the reaction is rapid and the product (fatty acid methyl ester and glycerol) is produced. The separation zone product (fatty acid methyl ester and glycerol) has a high density and is deposited downward and flows out from the product outlet 113 to a standing tank (not shown) to separate the fresh second reactant (methanol vapor or supercritical methanol). ) It flows upward due to low density and reacts with a trace amount of the first reactant (waste cooking oil) which is not completely reacted, so that the conversion rate can be further increased to nearly 100%. Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a film forming member of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the film forming member 121 is at least one blade which is placed at the periphery of the rotor 12. At least two or more scrapers 121 are fixed to the rotor 12 by inlaying, locking or riveting. It is preferable that the blade 121 protrudes from the rotor 12 by a distance of 1 to 10 mm. The shape of the blade 121 and the inner end of the column u is preferably a blade shape or a wedge shape or a round shape. Further, the scraper 121 may have a spiral groove for pushing the first reactant (waste cooking oil) film 15 downward with a downward thrust during rotation. Referring to Figures 3 and 4, there is shown a schematic view of a second embodiment of the film forming member of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the film forming member 2 21 is at least one roller, the roller 221 is fixed to the periphery of the rotor 22 by the radial arm 222, and the roller 221 is rotated about the roller shaft 223. The rotor 22 has a radial arm 222 I extending at both ends for fixing the roller shaft 223. In addition, a solid catalyst such as nickel (Nl), platinum (Pt) or a metal oxide such as calcium oxide (CaO) or lead oxide (Zr〇2) 145920.doc 201125968 can be used to enhance the transesterification/esterification reaction. Conversion rate. The solid-state catalyst is machined or sintered into a roller shape for the roller 221, or is coated, deposited, impregnated, implanted or the like on the surface of the roller 221 whose base material is metal or ceramic. When the rotor 22 rotates, the radial movement of the roller 221 along the inner wall of the column through the radial arm 222 produces a knife-like action to form the first reactant (waste cooking oil) into the film 15, while the roller 221 is wound around the roller shaft. The rotation of 223 causes the solid catalyst on the roller 221 to continuously contact and renew with the first reactant (waste cooking oil) film 15, thereby effectively improving the reaction efficiency. Referring to FIG. 1 again, the heater 13 is used to heat the column 11 and is disposed around the column 11, so that the temperature uniformity of the first reactant (waste cooking oil) film 15 on the inner wall of the column is easy to control. Less problem with radial temperature gradients. Referring to Figure 5, there is shown a schematic view of a continuous oleoalkylation reactor of a second embodiment of the present invention. The continuous grease alkylation reactor 30 of the second embodiment of the present invention comprises a column 31, a rotor 32 and a heater 33. The first embodiment of the present invention is different from the continuous grease alkylation reactor 10 of the first embodiment in that the first reactant inlet 311 and the first reactant inlet 312 are different. Both are disposed at the top of one of the columns 31, and the product outlet 313 is disposed at the bottom of one of the columns 31. In the present embodiment, 'the first reactant may be oil and fat, and the second reactant may be liquid methanol' as an example of a transesterification/esterification reaction of waste edible oil with decyl alcohol, wherein the first reactant is waste edible. Oil, the second reactant is liquid methanol.

The film 35 of the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reactant (liquid methanol) undergoes a transesterification/esterification reaction, and the second reactant is continuously continually applied due to the smoothing and agitation of the film forming member 321 ( The liquid methanol) is sufficiently mixed with the first reactant (waste cooking oil) to promote the progress of the reaction, so that the reaction rate is faster than the conventional use of the stirring blade. Since the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reactant (liquid methanol) are mixed σ and reacted in the same direction, the inside of the column can be divided into a mixing zone, a reaction zone and a separation zone from top to bottom. Zone: The mixing zone is a premixed first reactant (waste cooking oil) with a second reactant (liquid sterol), preferably at the first reactant inlet 311 and the second reactant population is inserted into the tubular string ^ A knife dispersing or atomizing device is arranged at the inner cavity to atomize the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reactant (liquid methanol) into micro droplets to make the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reaction The material (liquid methanol) is premixed and has a diffusion effect. In the area where the film (35) is formed by the reaction of the first reactant (waste cooking oil) and the second reactant (liquid sterol), the heat is promoted in the heater 145920.doc [S] -11 - 201125968 The reaction is rapid and produces the product (fatty acid methyl ester and glycerol). The unreacted second reactant (liquid methanol) and the product (fatty acid methyl ester, glycerol) are deposited downward in the separation zone and flow out from the product outlet 313 to a standing tank (not shown) to be layered and allowed to stand. The methanol in the tank can be separated from the product (fatty acid methyl ester, glycerol) by heating to methanol vapor, and recovered by condensation. The continuous oil alkylation reactor of the present invention can be applied to a high viscosity liquid reactant, and the reactants The contact surface area is increased after the formation of the film, and the reaction efficiency is greatly improved. In addition, the temperature uniformity control of the film is easy, and there is no problem of the radial temperature gradient. The continuous oleoalkylation reactor of the present invention is suitable for alkylation at atmospheric or low pressure or supercritical lower alcohol alkylation at elevated temperatures and pressures. However, the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and its effects, and are not intended to limit the invention.
