This invention discloses a flash deodorization method for
lanolin, belonging to the field of
lanolin refining technology. The method includes: S101: dissolving crude
lanolin in 4-6 times its volume of
anhydrous hot
ethanol, then sending it to the upper part of a vacuum flash
evaporator and spraying it downwards; S102: introducing hot
nitrogen gas at a temperature of 95-105℃ into the lower part of the vacuum flash
evaporator, with the
nitrogen gas in countercurrent contact with the crude lanolin spray solution; S103: after circulating and spraying the crude lanolin in the vacuum flash
evaporator for a certain period, sending it to a first oil-water separator for cooling, separating the
ethanol to obtain lanolin. The
exhaust gas from the vacuum flash evaporator is sequentially sent to a power wave
tower, a condenser, a gas-liquid separator, and a vacuum device;
anhydrous ethanol is circulated and sprayed in the power wave
tower, with the spray solution temperature at 45-50℃. This patented method can deodorize lanolin to odorless levels and also has the advantages of significantly reducing color and achieving a high yield.
