Abstract

This invention discloses a method for producing fatty acid methyl ester from high-acid-value grease by parallel methyl esterification. The method solves the problems of large raw material loss, low reaction efficiency, low apparatus utility and large wastewater discharge faced by present methods. The method comprises: (1) extracting high-acid-value grease with methanol; (2) performing parallel methyl esterification and interesterification reactions to obtain crude fatty acid methyl ester; (3) refining crude fatty acid methyl ester. A mixture of fatty acid methyl ester, fatty acid monoglyceride, and fatty acid diglyceride can be added during the interesterification reaction to prevent mass transfer hindrance. The method has such advantages as low raw material loss, high reaction efficiency, and high apparatus utility, and can be used to produce fatty acid methyl ester from restaurant waste oil, food processing waste oil and acidified oil from refinery plants.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid methyl ester by utilizing high acid value oil, which belongs to oil processing method. Background technique [0002] There are mainly one-step esterification and two-step esterification methods for the production of fatty acid methyl esters from oils with high acid value. Among them, the one-step esterification method refers to the use of acidic catalysts to simultaneously catalyze the methylation reaction of free fatty acids and methanol and triglycerides. The transesterification reaction with methanol converts all the fatty substances in the raw material into fatty acid methyl esters. Since the acidic catalyst catalyzes the transesterification reaction efficiency is very low, so the reaction time is very long and the conversion rate is low, resulting in low production efficiency. If it is necessary to improve the reaction efficiency, high temperature and high pressure are required, which con...
