Embodiment 1

[0033] Example 1: Laboratory preparation of alkyd resin by alcoholysis step

[0034] A bench-scale alkyd resin synthesis was performed as described below. 1.2 moles of yellow grease and 1.2 moles of glycerin were charged into a 3.0 liter flask equipped with a stirrer, packed column, condenser, thermometer and inert gas inlet. The reactor was flushed with inert gas and heated to 235°C. The reactor was maintained at 235°C, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour under an inert atmosphere. The reaction temperature was then lowered to 185°C, and 4.4 moles of ethylene glycol, 0.8 moles of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 4.6 moles of phthalic anhydride were added to the reactor. The reaction was heated to 235°C over 5 hours while removing water. The batch temperature was maintained at 235° C. until an acid number of less than 10 and a viscosity of K on the Gardner-Holt scale (measured as a 70% solution in xylene) was obtained.

[0035] The resulting alkyd product h...

Embodiment 2

[0036] Example 2: Pilot Reactor Preparation of Pilot Batch by Alcoholysis Step

[0037] The method of Example 1 was scaled up for use in a stainless steel walled pilot reactor. 15.8 kg of glycerol and 49.2 kg of yellow fat were charged into a pilot reactor equipped with a stirrer, packed column, condenser, thermometer and inert gas inlet. The reactor was flushed with inert gas and heated to 235°C. The reactor was maintained at 235°C, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour under an inert atmosphere. The reaction temperature was then lowered to 185°C, and 37.7 kg of ethylene glycol, 10.9 kg of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 93.8 kg of phthalic anhydride were added to the reactor. The reaction was heated to 235°C over 5 hours while removing water. During this time, an undesired phase of acrolein production was observed.

[0038] The ongoing test yielded an acid number of 17 and a Q (Gardner Holt scale) viscosity (measured as a 70% by weight solution of the al...

Embodiment 3

[0040] Example 3: Pilot plant preparation of alkyd resin without alcoholysis step

[0041] The method of Example 2 was modified to address the production of acrolein encountered in Example 2. 15.8 kg of glycerin, 10.9 kg of 2,2 dimethyl 1,3-propanediol, 37.7 kg of ethylene glycol, and 93.8 kg of phthalic anhydride were charged into a tank equipped with a stirrer, packed column, condenser, Thermometer and inert gas inlet in the pilot reactor. The reactor was flushed with inert gas and heated to 160°C. At 160°C, 49.2 kg of yellow grease was charged to the reactor. The reaction was heated to 235°C over 5 hours while removing water. The batch temperature was maintained at 235°C until an acid number of less than 10 was obtained, a viscosity in K (Gardner-Holt scale) (measured as a 70% solution in xylene) was obtained, and the alkyd product was free of haze . The reaction was held at 235°C for an additional 1 hour to ensure complete transesterification. Unlike the method of ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for forming alkyd resin that includes reacting waste cooking oil, one or more aromatic or aliphatic polycarboxylic acids, and one or more polyols to form the alkyd resin. The present invention also provides an alkyd resin for use in coating formulations that is the reaction product of a waste cooking oil, a polyol, and an aliphatic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid. The present invention further provides a composition, in the form of a coating composition, that is a reaction product of reactants that include waste cooking oil and either water, an organic solvent, or mixtures thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention primarily relates to products made using waste vegetable oils. Background technique [0002] Most restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use commercially available deep frying units to cook food, such as french fries, chicken or fish, for example by submerging the food in hot cooking oil. Cooking oil (typically vegetable oil) has a limited shelf life as it degrades and becomes contaminated by pieces of food as well as water and fat released from the food during cooking. As a result, cooking oils change regularly. [0003] Waste cooking oil can pose a pollution hazard if not disposed of properly. To prevent contamination of drains and blockage of private and municipal drains, restaurants and other food processing establishments typically retain used cooking oil and use sump traps to filter the grease from the waste water stream. Renderers collect waste cooking oil, which is then used in products such as animal feed or bi...
