The invention provides a preparation method for converting
glycerol into a
glycerol derivative
system simultaneously containing glycerin
ether and
glyceride to be used as a fuel additive. Low-carbon
alcohol and
glycerol are used as starting materials, the mol ratio of the low-carbon
alcohol to the glycerol is 2:1 to 8:1, the dosage of acid catalysts accounts for 0.5 percent to 10 percent of the total
mass of reactants, water absorbents account for 1.5 percent to 10 percent of the total
mass of the reactants,
nitrogen gas is used for replacing air in a kettle, the initial pressure in the kettle is 0 to 4 MPa, the
reaction temperature is 30 to 130 DEG C, and the reaction time is 4 to 10 hours; and the reduced pressure
distillation is carried out after cooling, then, the
acylation reaction is carried out, the
reaction temperature is 60 to 150 DEG C, the reaction time is 1 to 4 hours, and glyceryl biological fuel additives are obtained. The fuel
combustion performance can be improved through glycerin
ether, and simultaneously, the fuel viscocity can be improved through the contained
glyceride. The acidylation is carried out after the etherification, and the problem of low glycerol hydroxyl etherification rate is solved, so the additives and the fuel are mixed more uniformly. The catalyst and the water absorbents recovered through filtering and the low-carbon
alcohol can be repeatedly utilized.
