synthetic method

Stearic acid is a kind of fatty acid that widely exists in nature. Almost all fats contain stearic acid with different contents. It has a high content in animal fat, such as 24% in butter, less in vegetable oil, 0.8% in tea oil, 6% in palm oil, but 34% in cocoa butter. The production methods of industrial stearic acid mainly include fractionation method and pressing method. A decomposing agent is added into the hardening oil, and then the crude fatty acid is obtained by hydrolysis, and then the finished product is obtained through water washing, distillation and decolorization. At the same time, glycerol is a by-product.
(1) With fractionation method, 6t cottonseed oil hardening oil and 120kg hydrolysis agents cresol sulfonate stearate and naphthalene sulfonate stearate were added into the hydrolysis pot. Add 4200kg of water after injecting steam to the transparent oil layer. Continue heating to boiling, react for 7.5h under normal pressure, clarify for 0.5h, and separate the glycerol water in the lower layer. Then add 120kg of hydrolytic agent, heat the oil layer with steam until it is transparent, add 3600kg of water, and react for about 10h. When the mixed acid value reaches above 190mg KOH/g, it is the hydrolysis end point. After that, it was clarified for 0.5h. After separating glycerol water, it was washed with 7kg salt and 3600kg water. Then use 14kg salt and 4200kg water for secondary water washing. Clarify for 0.5h after the first step of washing, and for 2h after the second step of washing. After the lower layer of acid water is divided, take the upper layer of mixed fatty acid for standby. [3]
Add 2000kg of mixed fatty acid into a distillation kettle for vacuum fractionation. The kettle temperature is 250-255 ℃, the tower temperature is 210-220 ℃, the top temperature is 200-210 ℃, and the tower top residual pressure is 0.53-0.93kPa. After the balance of feeding, discharging and discharging is reached, the continuous operation will be carried out, with feeding 100%, discharging 40% and discharging 60%. It is used to make tertiary stearic acid. After analyzing that the iodine value of the discharged material is below 2mg/100g, put 1000kg stearic acid and 3kg 92.5% sulfuric acid into the pickling pot in turn, boil and wash. After cutting off the acid foot, take 450kg of stearic acid and put it into the decoloring pot to heat it to 190 ℃, and then add 150mL of chemical soda ash and 11kg of dry clay successively, and decolorize it for about 45min at about 105 ℃ under reduced pressure mixing. The primary stearic acid is obtained through filter pressing and pouring plate forming.
The glycerol water separated from the hydrolysis process is neutralized with lime milk at 80-100 ℃, and refined glycerol can be obtained through such processes as suction filtration concentration, pressure filtration, vacuum distillation, activated carbon decoloration and pressure filtration.
(2) The pressing method takes animal and vegetable oils as raw materials, and the primary stearic acid is prepared by high-pressure hydrolysis, washing, vacuum distillation, pressing, bleaching crystallization and other processes in the presence of hydrolytic agents (such as zinc oxide).
(3) In the presence of decomposing agents (benzene, naphthalene and other sulfonated mixtures), the hardened oil, beef fat or sheep fat is hydrolyzed, and then acidified, distilled, pressed and pickled to obtain the finished product.
(4) Use oleic acid hydrogenation method.
(5) Use synthetic fatty acid C ten ~C twenty And C eighteen ~C twenty The distillate is made from raw materials by melting, pickling (using 1% sulfuric acid) molding, pressing, melting, pickling, dehydration and crystallization.

industrial products

Industrial products are white or yellowish particles or lumps, accounting for 45% stearic acid and 55% Palmitic acid And contains a small amount of oleic acid, with a slightly fatty smell. Industrial products can be divided into primary (formerly called tertiary pressing, after tertiary pressing), secondary (formerly called secondary pressing, after secondary pressing) and tertiary (formerly called primary pressing, after primary pressing or without pressing). It is a mixed acid mainly composed of stearic acid and palmitic acid. The primary and secondary stearic acids are white waxy solids with gloss or crystals. Tertiary stearic acid is a yellowish waxy solid.
