摘要:
Suggested is a process for obtaining fatty acid C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters from unrefined fats and oils, which is characterised in that: (a) unrefined fats or oils having an acid value of from 1 to 20 are treated with hot steam in a counter-current column to provide a first fraction of free fatty acids and low boiling impurities at the top and a second fraction of de-acidified and de-watered fats or oils at the bottom of the column; (b) said first fraction is subjected to acidic or enzymatic esterification with a lower C 1 -C 4 alcohols in order to provide a third fraction of fatty acid C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters; (c) said second and said third fraction are combined and subjected to a low pressure transesterification in order to provide an intermediate fraction of fatty acid C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters, C 1 -C 4 alcohols and glycerol; and (d) said intermediate is subjected to a separation process in order to remove C 1 -C 4 alcohols and the glycerol in order to provide a second fraction of C 1 -C 4 alkyl esters.

Suggested is a process for obtaining fatty acids with reduced content of by-products, characterised in that (a) unrefined fats or oils are subjected to steam stripping in a counter-current column to produce (i) a bottom fraction of de-acidified fats or oils, (ii) a first distillate consisting mainly of fatty acids and glycerides, and (iii) a second distillate comprising fatty acids and essentially all unwanted ketones, aldehydes and phenols; and
(b) said bottom fraction (i) containing the de-acidified fats or oils and said first distillate (ii) containing fatty acids and glycerides are combined.
