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.

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.

  • 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.

In this study, we report for the rst time that under anaerobic or limited oxygen conditions, Prochlorococcus marinus (PmADO) can generate full- length fatty alcohols from fatty aldehydes without eliminating a carbon unit. Results: Unlike the native activity of ADO which requires electrons from the Fd/FNR electron transfer complex, the aldehyde reduction activity of ADO requires only NADPH. Our results demonstrated that yield of alcohol products can be affected by oxygen concentration and type of aldehyde.

C16‐18 fatty alcohol (oleo) is produced from natural sources which contain fatty acids in the form of triglycerides that can be hydrogenated after suitable pre‐treatment. For the production of C16–18 alcohols, preferably palm oil, and tallow are used. The production stages of C16‐18 fatty alcohol are [4]: 1) Contaminants such as phosphatides, sterols, or oxidation products and impurities such as seed Product and Process particles, dirt, and water are removed in a cleaning stage, which includes refining by treatment with Description phosphoric acid, centrifugation, and adsorption, e.g., on charcoal or bentonite. 2) Hydrolyzing of the refined triglycerides to yield fatty acids or trans‐esterified with lower alcohols to yield fatty acid esters. 3) The Refined fatty acid methyl esters are used for hydrogenation to generate fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols possess good foaming properties and ready biodegradability, and are extensively used as base surfactants for laundry detergent products, shampoo, dishwashing liquids and cleaners.

    HARDNESS EFFECTS DUE TO AGING AND DWELL TIME DURING COMPRESSION OF FATTY ALCOHOL COMPACTS AND THEIR EXCIPIENTS By RUSSELL F. SOMMA A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School , New Brunswick Rutgers , The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Science Written under the direction of Professor Nicholas G. Lordi and approved by New Brunswick , New Jersey May 1987 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION HARDNESS EFFECTS DUE TO AGING AND DWELL TIME DURING COMPRESSION OF FATTY ALCOHOL COMPACTS AND THEIR EXCIPIENTS By RUSSELL F. SOMMA Dissertation Director: Professor Nicholas G. Lordi This study was initiated based on observations made during process optimization trials for a sustained release potassium chloride supplement . It was noted during compression that compact "hardness" varied with time as a function of the rotational speed of the com- pression equipment. These changes in compact strength and the subsequent unpredict- able effects on the behavior of the sustained release dosage form sug- gested a need for detailed analysis of the components and their pro- cessing. The sustained release system which was studied was of the erosion or matrix type. Changes in tablet hardness with time are not unique; however, the compacts which have been characterized in this research vary sub- stantially from the more standard tablet formulations. The fatty alcohols used in sustained release dosage forms possess unusual com- pressional and physicochemical properties which set off the erosion/ matrix compact as unique. The matrix formers (fatty alcohols) were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, microscopy, as well as being formed into compacts for tensile strength measurements.
