The invention provides a preparation process of
triolein, relating to the technical field of
chemical engineering. The preparation process comprises the following steps: weighing
glycerol and
oleic acid of which a certain
molar ratio is (2.3-3.2):1; weighing a catalyst the amount of which is 0.1%-1% of the total weight, wherein the catalyst is p-
toluene sulphonic acid,
solid super strong acid, self-made catalyst and the like; adding
glycerol,
oleic acid and the catalyst in a reactor, raising the temperature of the reactor, keeping
reaction temperature to 140-220 DEG C, and carrying out reaction for 4-8h; and after the reaction is finished, carrying out vacuum
dehydration on a reactant by utilizing a vacuum
dehydration machine until an
acid value reaches the standard, wherein the standard is as follows: the appearance of the reactant is pale yellow supernatant liquid,
acid value / (mgKOH / g) is not larger than 2,
hydroxyl value / (mgKOH / g) is 185-205,
saponification value / ( mgKOH / g) is not larger than 25, and
moisture is not larger than 1. With the adoption of the preparation process, the
triolein can be conveniently obtained, and preparation cost is lowered.
