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
When the purity of lauric acid in the mixed fatty acid is not high, it needs to be distilled again; when there are impurities close to the melting and boiling point of lauric acid, it is difficult to obtain lauric acid with higher purity by combining rectification and pressing
In addition, the squeezer also needs to apply a lot of pressure, which consumes a lot of energy.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method used for preparing lauric acid from litsea cubeba fruit kernel oil. The method comprises following steps successively: acid refining, hydrolysis, rectification, refrigeration solvent crystallization, pumping filtration, and drying; in the step of rectification, simple rectification is adopted, and the purity of obtained lauric acid is increased to 70%; in the stepof refrigeration solvent crystallization, a mixed solvent prepared from n-hexane or cyclohexane and ethanol at a volume ratio of 4-4.5:1 is adopted; under normal pressure, the preferable temperatureof refrigeration solvent crystallization ranges from -15 DEG C to -20 DEG C. In the method, routine rectification is replaced by simple rectification, rectification operation is simplified, speed is fast, energy consumption is low, investment cost is low, production benefit is increased, refrigeration solvent crystallization operation is simple, the solvent can be recycled, the method is economical, and is friendly to the environment, and the purity of obtained lauric acid is 98.0% or higher.

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[Study on Extracting V...
