Problems solved by technology

When the purity of lauric acid in mixed fatty acids is very high, lauric acid can be separated by pressing, so it must be rectified to obtain sufficiently pure lauric acid, so that the rectification process takes a long time, consumes a lot of energy, and costs high. At the same time, rectification High equipment investment costs and low production efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a technology for extracting and purifying lauric acid from litsea cubeba kernel oil. The technology comprises the following steps in sequence: acid refining, hydrolyzing, rectifying, freezing a solvent crystallization, suction filtering and drying, wherein simple rectifying is used to enable the purity of the lauric acid to reach 70%; when the solvent crystallization is frozen, the solvent is a mixed solvent with the volume ratio that normal hexane or cyclohexane: ethyl alcohol is (4-4.5): 1, and the temperature of -15 DEG C to -20 DEG C is preferentially chosen under the ordinary pressure. According to the invention, the conventional rectifying is replaced by the simple rectifying, so that the rectifying operation is simplified, the speed is high, the energy consumption is low, the investment cost is reduced, and the production effect is improved; the solvent crystallization is frozen simply and the solvent can be recycled, which is economical and environment-friendly, and the purity of the lauric acid can reach more than 98%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for extracting and purifying lauric acid from litsea cubeba kernel oil. Background technique [0002] Litsea cubeba is one of the unique spice resources in southern my country. Litsea cubeba oil is rich in citral, which is a raw material for the synthesis of ionone, ironone, etc. Litsea cubeba oil is often extracted by steam distillation in industry; Nucleolus oil can also be extracted from the Litsea cubeba residue of litsea cubeba oil, which is rich in natural oils and can be used to extract fatty acids, among which lauric acid is the most important one. Lauric acid is a saturated straight-chain dodecanoic acid, which can be used in the production of alkyd resins, wetting agents, detergents, insecticides, surfactants, food additives, etc. It is an important raw material for chemical, coating and other industries. [0003] In order to extract lauric acid from Litsea cubeba kernel oil, Cheng Sixi[Research on Extractin...
