Fatty Acid Esterification TRIZ Cases
- Co-producing Biodiesel and Enriched Feed from Distillers Grains
Solvent extraction of oil from distillers grains yields biodiesel precursors and a nutrient-rich solid product, eliminating air pollution from hot-air drying.
- Steam Stripping Process for Oleochemical Purification
Counter-current steam stripping removes ketones, aldehydes, and phenols from unrefined oils to reduce by-products.
- Non-hydrogenated Hardstock Fat via Enzymatic Interesterification
Blending solid vegetable fats eliminates liquid oil costs and trans-fatty acids from hydrogenation while maintaining required spread structure.
- Sunflower Oil Heat Stability via Tocopherol Profile
Specific gamma- and delta-tocopherol ratios reduce thermo-oxidative degradation, extending useful life in high temperature processes.
- Heterogeneous Catalyst for Biodiesel Production
Modified molecular sieves eliminate soap formation while enabling complete conversion of free fatty acids.
- Sugar-Based Heterogeneous Catalyst for Biodiesel Transesterification
A reusable sugar-based heterogeneous acidic catalyst enables continuous transesterification of waste oil into biodiesel with high purity.
- Transesterification Process for Unrefined Oils Using Alkaline Glycerol Neutralization
Segmenting neutralization from transesterification using alkaline glycerol prevents catalyst deactivation by free fatty acids, maintaining high yield.
- Purified Acetylated Castor Oil Plasticizer for Phthalate-Free Resins
Single-phase acetylated castor component purified to remove insoluble matter.
- Phytosterol Recovery from Biodiesel Distillation Residue
Two-stage transesterification recovers phytosterols from biodiesel distillation residue.
- Purified Immobilized Lipase via Reaction-Cycle Filtration
Sequential reaction cycles with fatty acid sources and alkyl alcohols reduce pigment intensity in immobilized lipase preparations.
- Triglyceride Fractionation Using Fatty Acid Ester Solvents
A fractionation method uses fatty acid lower alkyl esters to dissolve triglycerides before cooling and solid-liquid separation.
- Soybean Oil Ozonolysis for Primary Hydroxyl Polyols
Ozonolysis of soybean oil with boron trifluoride catalyst introduces primary hydroxyl functionality into ester polyols.
- Ecofriendly Alkyl Ester Lubricants for Drilling Fluids
Alkyl ester additives derived from vegetable oils reduce friction in water-based drilling fluids.
- Biodiesel Production via Methyl Formate Interesterification
Chemically catalyzed interesterification converts vegetable oil to biodiesel using methyl formate at atmospheric pressure.
- Iron Hydroxide Nanoparticles from Waste Fats for Diesel Combustion
Iron hydroxide nanoparticles derived from waste fats improve diesel combustion efficiency while lowering carbon emissions.
