Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a new method for preparing fully bio-based n-decanol by using rhamnose waste liquid as raw material. Background Art

[0002] Rhamnose is a substance widely found in plant polysaccharides, glycosides, plant gums, and bacterial polysaccharides. Rhamnose is an important chemical used in food additives, health supplements, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, the hydrolysis of rhamnolipids is an important and viable industrial route for producing rhamnose. However, this route produces an oily wastewater during the hydrolysis of rhamnolipids, resulting in poor atom economy, reduced economic value, and decreased competitiveness. The rhamnose wastewater produced by the rhamnose hydrolysis method generally contains a large amount of hydroxyalkyl acids, such as 3-hydroxydecanoic acid dimer, 3-hydroxydecanoic acid, and 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid. Treating this wastewater as wastewater not only increases wastewater treatment costs but also wastes significant resources. Therefore, developing a new method for repurposing rhamnose wastewater is of great significance.

[0003] Decanol, with its sweet floral aroma, is a common spice. It is primarily used in the formulation of flavors such as orange, lemon, coconut, and mixed fruits. GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is a permitted flavoring agent and can be used in food, soap, and daily cosmetics. It is also used in the manufacture of surfactants, plasticizers, defoamers, synthetic fibers, herbicides, lubricant additives, and ink solvents. It has a wide range of applications and is an important fine chemical.

[0004] Currently, n-decanol is synthesized primarily through the following methods: 1) Natural coconut oil is hydrogenated at high temperature and high pressure in the presence of mixed oxides. The resulting mixed alcohols with even carbon atoms (ranging from lower alcohols to octadecanol) are then fractionated under reduced pressure. The C8-C12 fraction is refined using borate esterification and hydrolyzed before fractionation under reduced pressure. This approach currently suffers from unstable raw material sources, large price fluctuations, a long synthesis route, difficulty in product separation, and high costs. 2) Propylene is polymerized in the presence of phosphoric acid or boron fluoride to produce nonene, which is then reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a liquid phase. This approach currently suffers from a long reaction route, harsh reaction conditions, and the resulting product is not biobased.

[0005] In summary, the current industrial route for synthesizing n-decanol has many shortcomings, so it is of great significance to develop a new route to synthesize all-biobased n-decanol with high yield and high selectivity. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In light of this, the present invention proposes a method for preparing all-biobased n-decanol using rhamnose wastewater as a raw material. This method aims to produce all-biobased n-decanol from rhamnose wastewater. This method, on the one hand, reuses the oily wastewater from the rhamnose production process, reducing the cost of treating the three wastes and increasing the added value of the product. It also provides a new method for preparing all-biobased n-decanol. The resulting all-biobased n-decanol product better meets current demand for safe, green, and natural products.
