The high crude oil and ethylene prices in the last 3 – 4 years contribute to the healthy demand growth for basic oleochemicals: fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Oleochemicals are starting to replace crude oil derived products in various applications. As widely practiced in petrochemical industry, catalyst plays a very important role in the production of basic oleochemicals. Catalytic reactions are abound in the production of oleochemicals: Nickel based catalysts are used in the hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty ac- ids; sodium methylate catalyst in the transesterification of triglycerides; sulfonic based polystyrene resin catalyst in esterification of fatty acids; and copper chromite/copper zinc catalyst in the high pressure hydro- genation of methyl esters or fatty acids to produce fatty alcohols. To maintain long catalyst life, it is crucial to ensure the absence of catalyst poisons and inhibitors in the feed. The preparation methods of nickel and copper chromite catalysts are as follows: precipitation, filtration, drying, and calcinations. Sodium methy- late is derived from direct reaction of sodium metal and methanol under inert gas.

Silvab, Antonio J.A. Meirellesb, Roberta Ceriani*a a Faculty of Chemical Engineering, University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Zip Code, 13083-852, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil b Faculty of Food Engineering, University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Zip Code, 13083-862, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil [email protected] Rice bran wax is waste material of dewaxing process in oil refining. Dewaxing is accomplished by cooling and filtrating for separating wax from the oil to avoid turbidity in the final product. The dewaxing residue may have 20 up to 80 wt% of oil, followed by a main fraction of waxes, free fatty alcohols, free fatty acids and hydrocarbons. The wax fraction of the residue is composed by long-chain fatty alcohols esterified with long-chain fatty acids. Considering that rice bran oil has 4 – 6 wt% of wax, a large amount of this natural source of fatty compounds is undervalued. Noweck and Rider (1987) describe a process based on hydrolysis of waxes with sodium hydroxide, followed by distillation of fatty alcohols and soap. According to best of our knowledge no work has been reported on the formation of fatty acids and alcohols from the hydrolysis of the dewaxing residue using supersaturated stripping steam under high temperatures and high vacuum.

  • Production of Butanol by Clostridium Acetobutyucum in Extractive Fermentation System
    PRODUCTION OF BUTANOL BY CLOSTRIDIUM ACETOBUTYUCUM IN EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION SYSTEM Shigeo ISHII, Masahito TAYA and Takeshi KOBAYASHI Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464 Key Words: Biochemical Engineering, Extractive Fermentation, Butanol Production, Aliphatic Alcohol, Clostridium acetobutylicum Anextractive fermentation system was developed to prevent end-product inhibition of Clostridium aceto- butylicum IAM 19012, which mainly produces butanol and acetone. Butanol exhibited greater toxicity to the microorganism than acetone, and its growth was completely inhibited above 10 kg/m3 of butanol. As an extracting solvent suitable for acetone-butanol fermentation, oleyl alcohol (cw-9-octadecen-l-ol) and C-20 guerbet alcohol (branched-chain alcohol of carbon number, 20) were selected from among29 organic compounds, based on their nontoxicity to the microorganism. These two solvents had high partition coefficients for butanol, and could be reused without deterioration. In fermentation with the solvent (solvent phase : aqueous phase=2 : 5 (v/v)), the viability of the microorganism was resumed by the liquid-liquid extraction of butanol from the broth, and the amount of butanol produced was 2.6 times that in fermentation without extraction. tation by liquid-liquid extraction.

Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57(10), 2616-2620 Abstract The oxidative cleavage of 1,2‐diols is a fundamental organic transformation. The stoichiometric oxidants that are still predominantly used for such oxidative cleavage, such as H5IO6 , Pb(OAc)4 , and KMnO4 , generate stoichiometric hazardous waste. Herein, we describe a widely applicable and highly selective silver(I)‐catalyzed oxidative cleavage of 1,2‐diols that consumes atmospheric oxygen as the sole oxidant, thus serving as a potentially greener alternative to the classical transformations.

  • Hexanol Biosynthesis from Syngas by Clostridium Carboxidivorans P7 Is Enhanced by In‑Line Extraction with a Biocompatible Solvent to Avoid Product Toxicity

Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 has the rare ability to metabolize syngas – a mixture of H2, CO and CO2 – by converting it directly into industrially relevant alcohols (hexanol, butanol and ethanol) and the corresponding acids (caproate, butyrate and acetate). The product titers and ratios are highly dependent on the fermentation parameters and the composition of the syngas and growth medium. The hexanol titers produced by C. carboxidivorans P7 have recently been improved by optimizing these conditions, but little is known about the toxicity of hexanol towards Clostridium species. We hypothesized that the hexanol titers currently produced by C. carboxidivorans P7 are limited by product toxicity. Results We tested our hypothesis by exposing C. carboxidivorans P7 to different concentrations of hexanol and found that growth inhibition started at 10–12 mM, with an IC50 of 17.5 ± 1.6 mM. The presence of 20 mM hexanol was acutely toxic to C.

  • Predicting Distribution of Ethoxylation Homologues With
    1 PREDICTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF ETHOXYLATION HOMOLOGUES WITH A PROCESS SIMULATOR Nathan Massey, Chemstations, Inc. Introduction Ethoxylates are generally obtained by additions of ethylene oxide (EO) to compounds containing dissociated protons. Substrates used for ethoxylation are primarily linear and branched C12-C18 alcohols, alkyl phenols, nonyl (propylene trimer) or decyl (propylene tetramer) groups, fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives. The addition of EO to a substrate containing acidic hydrogen is catalyzed by bases or Lewis acids. Amphoteric catalysts, as well as heterogeneous catalysts are also used. The degree of ethoxylation ( the moles of EO added per mole of substrate ) varies over wide ranges, in general between 3 and 40, and is chosen according to the intended use. As an illustration of how this distribution might be predicted using a process simulator, Chemcad was used to simulate the ethoxylation of Nonylphenols. Description of the Ethoxylation Chemistry The reaction mechanisms of base catalyzed and acid catalyzed ethoxylation differ, which affects the composition of the reaction products. In base catalyzed ethoxylation an alcoholate anion, formed initially by reaction with the catalyst ( alkali metal, alkali metal oxide, carbonate, hydroxide, or alkoxide ) nucleophilically attacks EO. The resulting union of the EO addition product can undergo an equilibrium reaction with the alcohol starting material or ethoxylated product, or can react further with EO: Figure 1 O RO- + H2CCH2 - - RO CH2CH2O O ROH H2CCH2 - - RO RO CH2CH2OH RO RO CH2CH2O 2 As Figure 1 illustrates, in alkaline catalyzed ethoxylations several reactions proceed in parallel. The addition of EO to an anion with the formation of an ether bond is irreversible.
