Problems solved by technology

However, there are still deficiencies in the process
Firstly, the catalyst preparation process is complicated, the energy consumption is high, and waste water, waste gas, etc. need to be treated at the same time.
Moreover, in the biodiesel production process, catalyst loading, deactivation and disposal will bring new problems
More importantly, under relatively harsh reaction conditions, the oil undergoes a two-stage reaction. The temperature needs to be lowered in the middle, and then the temperature is raised to pressurize the reaction to achieve a final yield of about 10%, which makes the equipment investment and energy efficiency of the process higher consumption

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of high purity biodiesel. The method comprises steps that: (1) grease and fatty alcohol are subject to an ester interchange reaction with almost no basic catalyst; (2) fatty alcohol in a reaction product, which is a mixture, is removed through steaming, and glycerin is separated; (2) one or more nonionic surfactants are added to the mixture obtained from the step (2) as filter aids, and fatty acid monoglyceride is separated by a ceramic membrane, such that high purity biodiesel is obtained. According to the invention, the technology of the invention is simple; raw material adaptability is relatively high; a saponification product accumulation problem is avoided; utilization rate of grease approaches 100%; biodiesel purity is high; post-treatment is simple; and a problem of a high concentration of a vacuum distillation by-product glycerin is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomass energy, in particular to a method for preparing biodiesel. Background technique [0002] As people pay more and more attention to environmental issues and oil prices continue to rise, biodiesel, as a green renewable energy source, has become an important alternative fuel for petrochemical diesel. The transesterification method is the most widely used biodiesel production method, that is, animal and vegetable oils and lower alcohols (such as methanol or ethanol) are transesterified to obtain fatty acid lower alcohol esters. Due to methanol's high reactivity and low price, the most typical biodiesel is fatty acid methyl ester. [0003] Fatty acid, that is, triglycerides of fatty acids, undergoes transesterification with lower alcohols, and is converted into diacylglycerols, monoglycerides in turn, and finally lower alcohol esters of fatty acids and glycerin are obtained. Since the transesterificat...
