Problems solved by technology

The preparation of biodiesel by chemical method has the following disadvantages: ① The free fatty acid and water in the oil raw material seriously affect the reaction; ② The solubility of methanol in oil is poor, and it is easy to form an emulsion, which increases the difficulty of subsequent treatment; ③ The whole process requires the amount of methanol The reaction molar ratio is greatly exceeded, and the recovery of excess methanol increases energy consumption

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the quality of biodiesel. The method comprises the following steps: 1, reacting oil, short-chain alcohol, water and liquid lipase in a one-stage or multi-stage enzyme reactor, separating a reaction solution into a heavy phase and a light phase, and recycling enzymes in the heavy phase, the light phase being used for subsequent immobilized enzyme transformation; 2, causing the light phase obtained in step 1 to flow into a one-stage or multi-stage reactor with immobilized lipase, adding short-chain alcohol for reaction, and performing online dehydration in a reaction process; 3, causing a reaction solution obtained in step 2 to flow into an enzyme reactor of the next stage to be reacted with dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate, and performing online hydration in a reaction process to further implement complete transformation of the oil to biodiesel, wherein the yield of the biodiesel exceeds 98 percent, and the total glycerin content is lower than 0.2 percent. According to the method, low-quality non-edible oil can be transformed into high-quality biodiesel, a subsequent separation and purification process is greatly simplified, and good economic benefits and social benefits are achieved.

[0020] The liquid lipase derived from Candida antarctica (Candida antarctica) of 10g gutter oil, 10% water based on oil quality and 200 standard enzyme activities (200U/g soybean oil) based on unit oil quality was placed in a suitable enzyme Catalyzed one-stage or multi-stage enzyme reactors. Control the temperature at 35°C, and then add ethanol with a molar ratio of 4.5:1 based on oil at a constant speed within 3 hours. After reacting for 6 hours, the conversion rate of effective oil to biodiesel is 90%, and then the reaction liquid is left to stand for phase separation, and the heavy phase and light phase containing enzyme are separated. In the heavy phase, the enzyme protein is further recovered by membrane separation, and an organic membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of 15,000 Da is selected for the recovery of the above-mentioned lipase. The recovery rate of the enzyme protein is as high as 95%, and the residual amount of the by-product glycerol in the recovered enzyme liquid is less than 5%. Enzymes can be reused. The light phase flows into the immobilized enzyme reactor (the immobilized lipase derived from Aspergillus oryzae based on 200 standard enzyme activities per unit oil mass is housed), and the methanol that is 1:1 based on the crude biodiesel molar ratio is added simultaneously, To carry out the reaction, the temperature was controlled at 20°C, and the methanol was added at a uniform speed within 1 hour. During this reaction, the figure 1 The online dehydration shown (membrane dehydration device including organic membrane, inorganic membrane or ceramic membrane and including or Water absorption device including molecular sieve). After 4 hours of reaction, the conversion rate of effective oil to biodiesel in the system is 97%. The crude biodiesel phase is further flowed into the immobilized enzyme reactor (the immobilized lipase derived from Aspergillus oryzae based on 200 standard enzyme activities per unit oil mass is equipped with), and it is 1 based on the crude biodiesel molar ratio to be added simultaneously: 1 of dimethyl carbonate, and reacted at a temperature of 20°C. During this reaction, the figure 1 The online dehydration shown (membrane dehydration device including organic membrane, inorganic membrane or ceramic membrane and including or Water absorption device including molecular sieve). After reacting for 0.5 hours, the conversion rate of effective oil to biodiesel in the system was 98.5%, the total glycerin content was 0.18%, and the acid value was 0.3 mg KOH/g.
