摘要:
A method for production of stabilized fatty acid methyl esters. The method removes unsaturation present in fatty acid methyl esters, or removes unsaturation in triglycerides, which are then transesterified to fatty acid methyl esters.
摘要:
A method for purification of crude glycerol, especially crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production using alkaline catalysts. The method comprises combining the crude glycerol with acid, separating a glycerol layer, and treating the glycerol layer to decolorize it.
摘要:
A method for transesterification of triglycerides, especially those containing free fatty acids, with methanol. The method uses a catalyst derived from an acidic ion exchange resin. The catalyst is contacted with a reaction mixture containing a triglyceride and methanol under conditions suitable for transesterification.
摘要:
A method for the selective esterification of free fatty acids, alone or in triglycerides, with C1-C8 aliphatic alcohols or diols. The method uses a selective heterogeneous esterification catalyst. The catalyst is contacted with a reaction mixture containing a triglyceride having at least 0.5% free fatty acids, or a reaction mixture containing only free fatty acids, and a C1-C8 aliphatic alcohol or diol under conditions suitable for esterification.
摘要:
A composition containing: (a) 0.001% to 20% of at least one compound represented by formula (II), wherein R5 is C1–C70 difunctional alkyl or C6–C14 difunctional aryl, and R3and R4 independently are hydrogen, alkyl, heterocyclic, aryl or aralkyl groups; and (b) crude oil. In addition to dispersing asphaltenes, the composition of the present invention typically also increases demulsibility, reduces viscosity, reduces sediment formation, reduces surface fouling and reduces corrosion.
摘要:
A method for producing MnB12H12, wherein M is a metal or ammonium cation and n is one or two, by combining a metal borohydride and XBH3; wherein X is a substituted amine; a substituted phosphine; or tetrahydrofuran.
