Fatty Substance Recovery/Refining TRIZ Cases

A non-water-miscible capturing agent pulls diluted plant cuticular wax from aqueous dispersion into a concentrated, purer fraction.

Heating melts dispersed plant wax, then lower pH and temperature precipitate a purer wax fraction from aqueous biomass extracts.

Stearic acid and volatile actives help natural candle wax pull away on cooling, making after-burn residue easier and safer to remove.

Ratio-controlled mixtures enable enzymolysis without organic solvents and support oil-in-water emulsion production.

A two-stage process separates plant wax from fibers using mechanical dry treatment followed by aqueous enzymatic degradation.

Modifying fatty acid desaturase and thioesterase activity in oleaginous microbes reduces polyunsaturated fats to enhance oxidative stability.

A surfactant blend of alcohol ethoxylates removes grease from animal fibers while maintaining biodegradability.

Mechanical cracking releases wax from fibers, eliminating chemical agents to boost productivity.

Apple wax replaces beeswax to eliminate sticking and improve thermal stability.

Intermediary adsorption removes polyethylene contaminants from animal fats, enabling purification for fuel feedstock applications.

Washing phytosterol crystals with polar aprotic solvents reduces sterol ester content and improves color quality without compromising yield.

Alpha-hydroxysulfonic acid treatment increases microbial cell permeability to extract lipids without forming emulsions.

Adjusting the reflux ratio and side recovery location controls the mass ratio of fatty alcohol species, overcoming volatility-based separation limits.

Cooling a fatty acid ester precipitates solid paraffin, eliminating complex distillation and reducing production costs.
