Technical Field

[0002] Monoacids are mixtures of unpolymerized fatty acid monomers and small molecules produced by the cracking of oleic acid during the production of dimer acids from vegetable oleic acid. They are white solids at room temperature and possess the general properties of fatty acids. They are mainly used in the manufacture of paints, deinking agents, lubricants, tanning agents, detergents, plasticizers, and daily cosmetics. They can also be used in the production of alkyd resin coatings, isomeric acids, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The vacuum system for monoacid distillation has primary, secondary, and tertiary vacuum capabilities. When processing high-boiling-point fatty acids (such as C16 and above), the temperature of the monoacid distillation column needs to be increased. To avoid equipment damage and energy loss due to excessively high column bottom temperatures, methods to increase the vacuum level of the monoacid distillation column are necessary.
