Problems solved by technology

[0008] 5. Confinement of enzymes in membrane reactors or in semi-permeable gels
This shortcoming has prevented the application of lipases for the production of commercial quantities of fatty acid methyl ester "biodiesel" using oil triglycerides and methanol as substrates
[0021] Another disadvantage of using immobilized lipases for the transesterification / esterification of fatty acid sources with free alcohols is that the formed glycerol and water by-products accumulate on the biocatalyst, thus preventing free access of substrates to the activity of the immobilized enzymes site
When using the same batch of biocatalysts, these biocatalysts usually lose their catalytic performance after several cycles

preparation example Construction

[0119] The preparation of fatty acid alkyl esters is carried out simultaneously or continuously by transesterification or esterification. In this reaction system, the activity of the biocatalyst is maintained without significant loss of activity in multiple applications, and the accumulation of glycerol and water by-products or other hydrophilic compounds on the biocatalyst is also avoided.

[0120] The present invention provides methods that utilize specific immobilized interfacial enzymes that retain high activity and stability during many production cycles. In particular, lipase and phospholipase preparations are used in transesterification / esterification reactions. These reactions can be used to make food, cosmetics, and biofuels ("biodiesel"). Of particular interest, these enzymes can be used to synthesize fatty acid short-chain alkyl esters for use as "biodiesel".

[0148] Summary

[0149] All experiments were performed either in a 30 ml glass tube with a glass filter in the center at the bottom, or a 500 ml mechanically stirred reactor with a sintered glass filter with a porosity of 150-250 μm at the bottom. A typical reaction medium contains a fatty acid source, alcohol (usually methanol or ethanol) on a 1:1 molar basis relative to the fatty acid (whether it is free or bound to the glycerol backbone) (for free fatty acids and monoglycerides, 1:1 , It is 1:2 for diglycerides and 1:3 for triglycerides, which is good for alcohol). The fatty acid source is premixed with varying amounts of alkaline buffer (in a specific embodiment, sodium bicarbonate). The reaction is initiated by adding lipase (10-15% by weight) immobilized on a hydrophobic resin, and the reaction medium is either mechanically shaken or stirred at 30°C. Unless otherwise indicated, the amount of alcohol is added equally in three steps, each with an interval of 1 hour. The re...

[0154] Reaction conditions: refined and bleached soybean oil (20 g) contains 1% by weight 0.1M sodium bicarbonate solution. Methanol (2.5 ml) was gradually added in three equivalent batches, each with an interval of 1 hour. The reaction medium containing 10% by weight of the lipase preparation was shaken at 300 rpm and 30°C. The results are shown in figure 1 in.

[0155] figure 1 The results shown show that using the same batch of enzymes in the first 5 cycles in the presence of 1% by weight sodium bicarbonate solution, the thermophilic hyphomyces pilosides and pseudomonas immobilized on different resins The lipases of the genus bacteria all show high transesterification activity. It was ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an enzymatic batch or continuous process and a system therefor for the preparation of fatty acid alkyl esters for use in the biofuel, food and detergent industries. The method utilizes an enzyme immobilized on a hydrophobic resin mixed with a fatty acid source and an alcohol or alcohol donor in the presence of a basic or weakly basic aqueous buffer, or in the presence of water or an aqueous solution. The method for the preparation of fatty acid alkyl esters is carried out simultaneously or continuously by transesterification or esterification. Biocatalyst activity is maintained without significant loss of activity in multiple applications, and accumulation of glycerol and water by-products or other hydrophilic compounds on the biocatalyst is avoided.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention discloses an enzyme method for preparing fatty acid alkyl esters, which are used in biofuel, food and detergent industries. In the method, the fatty acid source and the alcohol or alcohol donor are reacted in the presence of an enzyme immobilized on a hydrophobic resin in the presence of an alkaline aqueous buffer or water. The disclosed method can be operated in batch or continuously using a continuous stirred tank reactor or a packed bed column reactor. Background technique [0002] The immobilization of enzymes has been described by a large number of technologies that basically aim to reduce the cost contribution of the enzyme in the entire enzyme process, promote the recovery of the enzyme from the product, and enable the process to be operated continuously. [0003] Immobilization technologies are usually classified as follows: [0004] 1. The physical adsorption of enzymes on solid supports (such as silica and insoluble polymers). [0005] ...
