摘要:
A method of treating tall oil pitch. In the present method, part of the fatty acids and the resin acids are released from their sterol esters and wood alcohol esters and converted into methanol esters or ethanol esters. The transesterified products are removed from the pitch by evaporation and then condensed, and by hydrogenating the generated condensate the acids are decarboxylated and the double bonds are satisfied. It is possible to use the present method to produce automotive fuel from tall oil pitch.
摘要:
A tall-oil pitch product, which is saponified with an alkali, which product comprises a stable emulsion or a micelle-water mixture, and a method of producing it, and its uses. In the present method, in order to saponify and to hydrolyse tall-oil pitch, a mixture is formed of pitch, water and an alkali, which mixture is driven through a mixing area in which sufficiently large mixing and shear forces are directed at the mixture that the tall-oil pitch is partly saponified and transformed into a stable emulsion or a stable micelle-water mixture. The product is particularly suitable for clarifying soap and reducing foam during the treatment of black lye.
