Benefits of technology

[0025]Another embodiment of the present invention provides a process for processing vegetable oil to obtain glycerin, fatty alcohol and biodiesel. In one embodiment, the process comprises providing a suitable vegetable oil for processing; adding alcohol and catalyst into the vegetable oil to form a mixture; heating the mixture to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period; separating the heated mixture into two fractions: fraction A and fraction B; neutralizing the fraction A with an inorganic or organic acid substance to have a neutral pH value, and initially disti

Problems solved by technology

The pollution of the environment due to the burns of fossil fuel has resulted in the increased health problems and more alarmingly the global warming.
However, most of the available fuel additives contain harmful chemicals such as benze and its derivatives; while giving the benefit of doubt to the claims of enhanced fuel efficiency, the detrimental effects from these added benze and its derivatives on public health and ozone deficiency cannot be overstated.
While the water-based emulsion diesel reduces environmental pollution especially black smokes, it suffers from the decreased fuel power and the higher cost incurred in the manufacture process.
Biodiesel is usually derived from vegetable oil; it pushes the prices of vegetable oils higher, burdening the citizens of poor countries.
It is evident that current approaches to fuel shortage, fuel efficiency and pollution are fragmented.

[0044]Production and purification of glycerin from palm olein—protocol 1

[0045]100 kg of palm oil and 25 kg of methoxide were admixed and heated to 70° C. for 30 minutes, and the heated mixture were let to stand still for 8 hours; then the vapor 15 kg was recovered as methanol; the second fraction was 90 kg of ester (biodiesel); the third fraction was 1 g of dirt, soap and oil; the fourth fraction was 10 kg of glycerin with a minimal purity of 85%; and the last fraction was 1 g of dirt, salt and water. The third and last fractions were discharged. The purified biodiesel and glycerin were used for further applications. The glycerin purified from the fourth fraction had a purity over 85%.

[0046]Production and purification of glycerin from palm olein—protocol 2

[0047]100 kg of palm oil, 1.5 kg of sodium hydroxide, and 25 kg of methanol were admixed and heated to 70° C. for 30 minutes, and the heated mixture were let to stand still for 8 hours; then the vapor 15 kg was recovered as methano...

Abstract

The present invention provides a fuel additive composition. The present invention further provides an emulsion fuel comprising the fuel additive composition. The present invention also provides a process for processing vegetable oil to obtain glycerin, fatty alcohol and biodiesel.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to the emulsion fuel technologies, and more particularly to the process of manufacturing biodiesel and glycerin, fuel additive compositions and emulsion fuels, and the fuel additive compositions and emulsion fuels manufactured by said process.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The facts that fossil fuels including petroleum are running out and the demands for energy supplies are skyrocketing are well known. The pollution of the environment due to the burns of fossil fuel has resulted in the increased health problems and more alarmingly the global warming. Amidst the oil crisis in 2008, many countries implemented a variety of strategies to increase fuel efficiency and develop alternative fuel supplies such as biodiesel, hoping to obtain sustainable fuels that are enable the humans to be less dependent upon fossil fuels and at the same time reduce the pollution so as to at least slow down the process of global warming.[...
